Acne scars can be a pain. They can be super embarrassing and make you feel like you have to hide from the world. Luckily, there are ways to treat acne scars that don't involve surgery.

The first thing you should do is to contact us to get an idea of what kind of scarring you have and how your skin can best heal itself.

There are a number of treatments that we can use, namely, a chemical peel with salicylic acid or glycolic acid peels to help smooth out your skin's texture, which will help prevent further scarring. Salicylic acid baths are also a great option because they help loosen up clogged pores and allow them to drain more easily.

If you're looking for something more permanent, there are several laser treatments that can fade scarring over time. We suggest Sublative Fraxionation for deep pitted acne scarring.

You could also try micro-needling, which helps create new collagen in the skin by creating tiny tears in the surface layers and allowing new cells to form inside those tears. This treatment is typically done once every month or so until full healing has occurred.

Here are some ways to keep your scars under control:

• Don't pick at them—no matter how tempting it is! This will only make the problem worse and could lead to permanent scarring.
• Get tested for acne so you know what kind of treatment would work best for you.
• Try using a cold compress instead of picking at your skin with your fingers or tweezers (or other sharp objects). This will help reduce inflammation and prevent infection from setting in if there's any open wounds on your face.

Sublative Fraxionation Explained

Sublative Fractionation is a fancy name for a special skin treatment that uses energy to help improve the appearance of your skin. Think of your skin as a garden. Over time, some areas might get a bit worn down, and you'll see wrinkles, scars, or uneven tones.

Sublative Fractionation is like using a precise garden tool to target those specific areas that need care, without affecting the healthy parts of the garden.

Here's how it works:

Targeting Specific Areas: We use a device that sends tiny beams of energy into the skin. It's like poking very small holes in the ground to prepare it for new growth. These beams target specific areas, leaving most of the surrounding skin untouched.

Stimulating Healing: When these tiny beams hit the skin, they cause a controlled injury to the specific areas we want to treat. This might sound scary, but it's a good thing! It's like pruning a plant; it stimulates the skin to heal itself, grow new cells, and produce more collagen (the stuff that keeps our skin firm and youthful).

Improving Appearance: As the skin heals, the wrinkles, scars, or uneven tones start to fade away. It's like watching new flowers bloom in the garden after you've taken care of the soil.

Minimal Downtime: Since we're only targeting specific areas and leaving most of the skin untouched, the healing process is generally quicker than with some other treatments. You might have some redness or swelling for a few days, but it's usually mild.

So, Sublative Fractionation is a way to rejuvenate the skin by encouraging it to heal and renew itself. It's a bit like giving the garden of your skin some special care to help it bloom again. Whether it's the right treatment for you depends on what you're looking to achieve and your particular skin type, and we can discuss that in more detail if you like!
