How to get them removed?

 

1. Laser treatment

 

Skin can be resurfaced with laser treatment without needing scrubs or chemicals. The outermost layer of the skin is removed, exposing the fresh skin cells beneath, which helps reduce the appearance of scarring. However, not everyone can benefit from this treatment, and its effectiveness depends significantly on the skin type. In a few cases, certain reactions should be expected, especially if an individual has sensitive skin.

 

Skin Doctor in Ludhiana uses a US FDA-approved laser technology called fractionated erbium YAG laser to create micro-injuries and treat deep-pitted scars by promoting new collagen formation. They use a handheld instrument to focus a laser beam of a certain wavelength on the damaged tissue. With topical anesthesia, this non-invasive therapy is rapid and painless. It takes between six and eight treatments, or as suggested by the dermatologist, to drastically improve the appearance and texture of the skin and make deep scars less visible.

 

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) encourages rapid skin healing and renewal while causing no heat or pain to the patient, making it a highly successful alternative for laser acne scar removal. LLLT delivers a mild beam to acne-scarred areas, naturally stimulating a healing response and boosting cellular regeneration and collagen formation. It heals uneven textures, indentations, and elevated tissues smoothly. Because it targets old scar tissue and all grades of damage, LLLT is a great alternative for acne scar treatment.

 

2. Dermal fillers

 

Many dermal fillers improve skin texture and aid in the breakdown of fibrous scar tissues. These injections can help improve the appearance of some types of acne scars.

 

Dermal filler injections are one of the most well-tolerated, effective cosmetic treatments, and they have been shown to reduce the appearance of acne scarring in some patients.

 

Substances such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or fat can be used to fill out pitted acne scars, especially when the skin appears depressed. Since dermal fillers eventually permeate into the skin, repeat injections may be required depending on the treatment plan and results. Dermal fillers are often prescribed every two months. There is no downtime associated with dermal filler treatment.
