Best Acne Scars Acne Scar Treatments

Summer has flown by – and a new school year is less than a month away for many teens. But confidence-busting acne scars can make an adolescent less than enthusiastic about returning to school in the fall. And young adults aren’t the only ones whose self esteem suffers from acne scars. Many adults have carried the burden of acne scars for many years or even decades.

For those suffering from acne scars, it can feel impossible to get rid of them so you can feel like yourself again. But several highly effective, state-of-the-art acne scar reduction treatments are available at AMAE Med Spa in the West Bloomfield area. In this article, our skin care experts have compiled a list of several of our revolutionary treatment options for getting rid of acne scars – so you or your teen can look and feel your best!

Dermal Fillers: Filling & Smoothing Acne Scar Treatment

Fillers bring to mind images of perfectly flawless Hollywood stars, but they are also useful in treating a variety of skin concerns as well. Dermal fillers can help to plump and smooth acne indentions and scars. Dermal fillers for acne scar treatment will typically need to be repeated at recurring appointments to help patients maintain results.

Dermal fillers require no downtime and typically only cause mild bruising and swelling that dissipates quickly. And when these minor side effects subside, patients are rewarded with plump, supple skin in place of acne indentions!

Chemical Peels: Clinical Grade Acne Scar Treatment

It is important to recognize the difference between DIY or at home peels versus clinical grade Med Spa offerings. Med Spa chemical peels for acne scars contain higher concentrations of certain acids, for deeper treatment of acne scars.

When receiving acne scar treatments at AMAE Med Spa in the West Bloomfield Area, patients can look forward to quality, more concentrated ingredients in the exact right doses to reduce acne scarring. Our medical grade chemical peels typically include:

• Salicylic Acid. Salicylic acid is beneficial in reducing redness and inflammation as well as reducing the appearance of acne scars.
• Lactic Acid. Lactic acid comes from milk lactose and is especially beneficial in reversing skin imperfections, including acne scars as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
• Glycolic Acid. Glycolic acid is an efficient exfoliant, but it is important to note this type of acid can be too harsh for more sensitive skin types. In high concentrations it should only be administered by a medical skin care professional to reduce acne scarring.

Radiofrequency Microneedling: Light Energy Acne Scar Treatment

Radiofrequency Microneedling is a treatment that stimulates the body to rebuild collagen through pulses of light energy from radio waves delivered through tiny needles that penetrate the skin. The new collagen fills in acne scar indentions for smoother skin.

Over time, as the body produces renewed collagen protein in the treatment area, acne scars become smaller and lighter, and the skin’s texture becomes smoother.

AMAE Med Spa in the West Bloomfield area offers two different types of radiofrequency microneedling: Morpheus8 and Profound.

IPL Photofacial: Non-Invasive Acne Scar Treatment

IPL photofacials are a great acne scar treatment. In fact, Kendall Jenner has raved about how IPL help her get rid of unsightly acne scars! IPL sessions are typically short enough to be performed during a lunch hour and are non-invasive with no downtime – making them a good option for busy people.  IPL also help with inflammation and reduction of redness, in addition to reducing the appearance of acne scars.

For patients with dark skin tones, IPL lasers may not be an option as this acne scar treatment typically works better on paler skin tones. And, depending upon the depth and extent of acne scars, patients may need multiple sessions for optimal results.

Retinol: Brightening & Smoothing Acne Scar Treatment

Retinol is a common product in anti-aging treatments. But it is also a great option for clearing pores and fading acne scars. While this treatment modality is more gradual and often more subtle than RF or IPL treatments, retinol can help to make skin noticeably smoother and brighter. Products that contain retinoids can also be used in conjunction with the other treatments listed above help fade acne scars.

AMAE Med Spa is one of the only providers in the West Bloomfield area to offer retinal products by EltaMD, Alastin and ZO Skin Health.
