Comprehensive Acne Treatment and Scar Management

Acne treatment is multifaceted due to its varied causes, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive oil production, and unhealthy dietary habits. Achieving clear skin involves addressing active acne and the scars that follow. Here’s a detailed overview of the process:

Step 1: Laser Treatment for Active Acne

​

Laser therapy effectively reduces acne spots and diminishes redness caused by breakouts. However, it is not effective for addressing deeper pits or craters on the skin.

• Best for: Mild to moderate acne.

• Not suitable for: Severe, cystic, or scarring acne (consult a dermatologist for medication).

Benefits:

• Reduces active spots.

• Fades post-inflammatory red marks.

Process:

1. Initial Consultation:
   A skilled aesthetician evaluates your skin and develops a personalized treatment plan.

2. Treatment Schedule:

   • Frequency: 2–6 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

   • Results: Improvement visible after the 1st or 2nd session.

3. Skincare Products:
   Incorporation of ZO Skin Health products by Dr. Obagi for oil control and inflammation reduction.

 

Step 2: Acne Scar Removal

Addressing scars requires specialized treatments based on the scar type and severity. We provide advanced techniques to minimize ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

1. Radiofrequency Micro-needling:
   Combines micro-needling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production.

   • Recommended sessions: 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart.

2. Laser Skin Rejuvenation:
   Non-ablative laser therapy (IND-YAG and CPL lasers) rejuvenates skin with no downtime.

   • Recommended sessions: 4–6 treatments, 4 weeks apart.

3. Micro-needling:
   Promotes collagen production, helping the skin heal and improve scar appearance.

   • Recommended sessions: 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart (additional sessions may be needed for deeper scars).
