How Dermal Fillers Can Improve Acne Scars
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances typically made of hyaluronic acid, a natural found in your body that boosts skin volume and hydration. Injected precisely in areas of low volume, dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM XC® can fill in indented scars and create a more even skin surface.
Results are noticeable immediately and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the product used and individual metabolism. This acne scar treatment in Plantation is popular because it offers instant results without downtime.
Exfoliative Options: Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion
Both dermabrasion and microdermabrasion can smooth your skin, but they work in slightly different ways:
- Dermabrasion:Â A deeper resurfacing technique that uses a specialized tool to remove the outermost layers of skin. It may be ideal for more severe acne scars because it promotes new skin growth and smoother texture.
- Microdermabrasion:Â A less invasive option that uses fine crystals to exfoliate the skin’s surface lightly. It is a good choice for mild acne scarring and requires little to no downtime.
Laser Treatment for Acne Scars
Laser treatments can target acne scars by working on two levels. First, the laser light resurfaces the exterior skin, helping you shed old skin cells. The laser also works on a deeper level by stimulating collagen production in your dermal skin layer. Over time, this helps improve volume and can smooth out acne scars.
We use advanced laser technology to smooth uneven skin tone and texture, making scars less visible over time. Results build gradually, often requiring a series of treatments to achieve the best outcome.
