EFFECTIVE ACNE SCAR TREATMENT

Home > The Effectiveness Of Acne Scar Treatment

Here at Gangnam Laser Clinic, we offer a variety of effective acne scar treatments to help with acne and acne scars. Read on to learn about the various types of acne treatment methods.

Injections

One way to treat acne is through an injection. The injection contains steroids that are designed to reduce inflammation, increase the healing process, and lower the chances of acne scarring. While this injection is easy enough to use and is quite effective, it is not always successful. Most of the time, a steroid injection will effectively reduce inflammation as well as improve your rate of healing. It does not always avoid a scar, however. There are times when even though the acne heals quicker than normal, a scar will remain.

Oral Medication

Oral medications for effective acne scar treatment include antibiotics and isotretinoin. These oral medications are taken in the form of pills that will be broken down in your stomach and distributed throughout your bloodstream. The idea behind oral medication for acne treatment is that the contents of the pills will aid the immune the system and natural healing ability of your body, allowing your acne to clear up faster.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are directly applied to the skin. The chemicals will penetrate the epidermis and exfoliate the top layer of skin when removed. You will feel a stinging sensation upon removal, but that will pass in minutes. This process will remove brown pigments, fine lines, surfaced acne, and dark complexion. While this process is effective at the removal of surface deformities, it cannot penetrate past the epidermal layer. An acne that is still lodged in the dermal layer of your skin will continue to clot your pores and grow.

Blue LED Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)

PDT is a light therapy which emits blue light with a wavelength of 408nm on an acne prone area. The light is absorbed by the bacteria in the acne, causing it to die. One treatment session will clear up your skin and takes just 20 minutes. It is a perfectly safe procedure. The procedure requires up to eight sessions over a period of four weeks to completely clear out all the acne and leave your skin spotless.
