No one looks back at puberty fondly. As your body develops, it experiences noticeable changes, like uncomfortable growth spurts, new hair growth, and acne outbreaks. For some, acne can result in long-term skin damage.
If your acne scars are an unwelcome reminder of your formative years, you need the right aesthetic treatment to help them fade. At DeeTox, our providers offer a variety of options for patients looking to reduce their acne scars and boost their confidence. Read on to learn more about the best treatment for acne scars in Chapel Hill.
Mild to Moderate Treatment Options
Depending on the depth of your acne scars, our treatment recommendation may change. For mild-to-moderate acne scars, we may recommend a microneedling SkinPen treatment or a nonablative laser, like Moxi. These services ‌create controlled micro-injuries in the treatment area, which forces the body to produce additional collagen and elastin proteins.
Your body creates these proteins in response to skin injuries. They provide much-needed support and structure for the skin, maintaining a healthy appearance and a firm, elastic texture. When we induce collagen and elastin protein production around a patient’s acne scars, we can reduce their texture for an enhanced appearance.
Treatment for Deeper Scars
For deeper acne scar treatment, we may recommend Helix CO2 laser resurfacing. This is an intensive laser treatment that peels back damaged layers of skin to reveal the fresh layers underneath. It’s like removing a marked-up piece of notebook paper to reveal the fresh, unblemished sheet lying below.
Like the SkinPen and Moxi treatments, Helix CO2 laser resurfacing also stimulates the production of additional collagen and elastin proteins, resulting in healthier, fresher skin. Following treatment with the Helix laser, even deep acne scars can become lighter, resulting in a smoother, more even skin texture.
If you think you may benefit from this deep laser treatment, our providers can examine your concerns and determine if it’s the ideal choice for your scars.
