WHAT IS ACNE SCARS AND WHAT CA– USES IT?

While acne is a temporary problem and will reduce itself over a short period, it usually leaves a scar that sometimes can be permanent. Worry not as this is a natural body process as the skin would recover naturally after it has been damaged by a wound or injury. The process occurs when the dermis level of the skin is damaged and scars will form on the skin as a result of overproduced collagen fibres.

Acne scars are the products of inflamed lesions. When the follicle, or pore, becomes engorged with dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria, it will cause the lesions for your skin. When the pore swells, it caused a break in the follicle wall and if it is near the skin’s surface, the lesion can heal quickly.

To repair the damages, our skin will form new collagen fibres. Collagen is the natural protein that gives the skin its glow and flexibility. However, the finished repair job would never look as smooth and flawless as the skin before the injury, thus causing the scar.

To reduce the impact of the scar, there are a lot of treatments available in the market including surgeries, or non-surgical methods. One of the outstanding non-surgical treatment is the Pico Laser treatment, using laser to improve skin texture.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Pico laser uses pico-second concentrated laser energy to generate laser induced breakdowns (LIOB) in the dermis and epidermis layer. The laser breakdown will destroy targeted skin cells that causes pigmentation and uneven skin tones whilst causing pressure waves to activate inflammatory healing response.

The healing response will boost collagen production which will restore skin youthfulness and lifting it up naturally. As a result, Pico laser treatment enables you to have a flawless, lifted, more youthful look. Opposed to the previous ways of laser treatment where intense heat energy was used to burst skin cells, often painful and leave patients with long downtime, Pico laser treatment offers you the possibility of having younger, better looking skin without all the hassles of long downtime and unnecessary side effects.

WHAT CAN I DO/DON’T AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

As Pico laser treatment doesn’t involve surgery, there is less downtime needed and very less risks associated with it. Patients can see visible results in a short matter of 1 week as the skin peeled off and revealed the new skin underneath. Patients are encouraged to drink a lot of water and keep moisturising as it helps nourishing the new skin with nutrients and speed up the healing process.

Patients are advised to not swim as it will increase the rate of infections. Also, please avoid direct exposure to sunlight and please wear sunblock every time you’re about to leave the house. As your skin healing up, it is very sensitive to intense temperature excessive UV exposure.
