What is Acne Scars?

Acne scars result when acne breakouts penetrate the deeper section of the skin and the underlying tissues. The body tries to repair the damage thereby leaving a scar. Collagen is produced by the body when it tries to heal acne. Little or large amount of collagen produced for healing acne results in scar formation.

The type of scar is related to the type of collagen form.

Depressed acne scars: Depressions or pits are formed as a result of little collagen production.

Raised acne scars: Too much production of collagen to heal acne will lead to the formation of raised acne scars. This type of acne scars is very common among the people of African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics.

WHAT CAUSES ACNE SCARS?

Most people could see acne scars when they finally treat the acne on their body. This risk of getting acne scars may increase when the person:

Has inflammatory (reddish, swollen, and painful) acne: The may be acne cysts and nodules. This is the type of acne that penetrates into the deeper part of the skin and causing damages to the skin. Reluctant in treating inflammatory acne. The more time you leave the inflammatory acne, the higher the risk of becoming an acne scar.

Picks, squeezes, or pops acne. This also increases inflammation that in turn increases the risk to form a scar. Has a family member that developed acne scars. There is some form of genetic involvement in acne scar formation.

Predicting who will develop acne scars is a difficult task. Even if we now know the risk factors for the development of acne scars. Those who are said to be at risk may not develop acne scars.

It is possible to prevent acne scars by treating acne effectively. Do not wait until acne becomes severe before you get it treated, it might lead to serious scarring.

INFINI 3D Skin Tightening

Dermapen (Microneedling) INFINI 3D Skin Tightening The INFINI™ has been clinically proven to increase collagen production in the skin helping to reduce acne scars and resurface the skin through 3D volumisation, for a smoother more refined you. INFINI™ is a new three-dimensional radio-frequency (RF) and micro-needling treatment that creates fractional micro-holes in the skin and induces precisely localised radio frequency emission from the needle tips, thereby precisely stimulating collagen and elastin production in the dermis without potential thermal damage in the epidermis.

Radio-Frequency Microneedling

The gold-plated sterilised small needle tips will insert into deep, medium and upper layer of the skin during treatment. The Radio Frequency energy will only be released when needle tips reach to the desired destination of the skin, this way the surrounding skin is protected. This results in stimulating collagen and elastin production in multiple layers of the skin.

Sublative Technology

Sublative technology is neither laser nor light-based. Instead, this one-of-a-kind technology uses fractionated bi-polar radio-frequency directed to the skin in the form of a matrix. This fractional delivery of Radio Frequency energy causes micro-epidermal injuries with wider spread dermal coagulation. This initiates a strong wound healing response in the dermal matrix. Acne scars and superficial skin discolouration are reduced, and skin texture becomes more smooth and elastic.
