Acne Scar Removal
Acne scars are permanent indentations or raised marks on the skin that occur as a result of severe acne. When acne lesions, such as pimples, cysts, or nodules, become inflamed or infected, they can damage the surrounding skin tissue. As the skin tries to heal itself, it may produce too much collagen, resulting in a raised scar. On the other hand, if the skin doesn’t produce enough collagen during the healing process, it can result in an indented or depressed scar. Acne scars can vary in size, shape, and texture, and they can affect a person’s self-esteem. There are various treatments available, including topical creams, laser treatments, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, that can help improve the appearance of acne scars.

How to Treat Acne Scar?
At Elegancy Beauty Bar in Ajax, we offer several treatments for acne scars, and the most suitable option depends on the type and severity of the scars. Here are some common treatments:
- Dermabrasion: This procedure involves removing the top layer of skin with a rapidly rotating brush or device. It can help improve the appearance of surface scars and make deeper acne scars less noticeable.
- Chemical peels: In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to peel off and reveal new, smoother skin. It can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, but multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
- Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive procedure uses a handheld device to exfoliate the skin and remove the outer layer. It can help improve the appearance of mild acne scars by encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin.
- Laser therapy: Various laser treatments can target different types of acne scars. Fractional laser resurfacing is commonly used to stimulate collagen production and smooth out the scarred skin. Multiple sessions may be necessary, and downtime may be required for the skin to heal.
- Dermal fillers: Injecting fillers into indented acne scars can help raise them to the level of the surrounding skin, making them less noticeable.
- Microneedling: This procedure involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled injuries to the skin, promoting collagen production and improving the texture of acne scars.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary from person to person, and it’s best to consult with our skin specialist for personalized advice and treatment options.
