3 Ways to Reduce the Appearance of Acne Scarring

Are you still living with the effects of dealing with acne in your teens – decades later? Acne scars – like most scars – may fade over time, but they rarely disappear completely. Fortunately, several skin care options can reduce the appearance of acne scarring and bring out skin that looks years younger.

If you are looking to reduce scarring and reveal lighter, brighter skin, you have three useful options available to you: microneedling, IPL photo facial, and laser skin resurfacing. See great options at Parson Skin Center.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a type of collagen induction therapy that is useful for reducing the appearance of acne scars. Tiny needles create microscopic injuries to the skin. The injuries trigger the skin to produce elastin and collagen, which make skin healthier.

IPL Photo Facial

Photofacials are performed using a handheld device. This device delivers direct light to the treated area to target acne and associated scarring. The light encourages collagen production to reduce scarring. Each treatment makes skin healthier and smoother. While one 30-minute treatment may be sufficient for many people, some have a series of treatments done.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is an effective procedure for managing multiple signs of aging. It can diminish not only scars but also wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and uneven skin tone. There are several types of lasers, but the CO2 laser is the one most commonly used. The CO2 laser repairs tissue while helping regenerate newer, healthier skin.
