People who live and work in Beverly Hills always want to look their best, and for some, that means acne scar treatment. Acne scars are not only unattractive, but they can inhibit opportunities for work, romance, and other areas of life. The good news is that there are many ways that our board-certified dermatologist can soften the look of acne scars. We are happy to provide combination treatments at our office in West Hollywood. Some of the available treatments include chemical peels, fillers, subcision, and laser therapy.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a treatment where specialized solutions are used to remove the rough, dry skin cells of the very top layer of skin and with it the acne scars and other types of scars. Chemical peels range from light, medium to deep.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers correct scars by plumping up the layers of skin beneath them. Dermal fillers can be made of several substances, including hyaluronic acid, collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. Most of them not only add volume, but also cause the body to produce its own layer of collagen and elastin, which also soften acne scars.
Subcision
There are different types of acne scars, and subcision is especially effective when it comes to treating rolling scars. These scars don’t have sharp edges but make the person’s skin look rough-textured, which can make the person look unhealthy. No one in Beverly Hills wants to look unhealthy! After this type of acne scar removal, the skin will appear smoother.
Laser Resurfacing
Lasers for acne scar removal can use very concentrated light to destroy the cells in the acne scar, but they are precise enough to not injure the surrounding, healthier skin. Like dermal fillers and chemical peels, lasers also cause the body to lay down new collagen.
