Acne Scars
PromotionsAfter acne clears up, many people are left with unsightly scars. The appearance of these scars range in color, texture and size. They can take the form of hyper-hypo pigmentation, pitting, and over-production of scar tissue. Fortunately, at NewDermaMed we employ the most advanced technologies to safely and dramatically reduce the look of all acne scars by reducing pigment, brightening skin, and evening out complexion.
We are proud to offer this service at both our downtown Toronto and North York locations and are happy to service customers from the Mississauga area.
Icepick scars
Characterized by thin but deep columns of missing skin tissues. Commonly arising from severe acne, icepick scars usually appear on the cheek or nose.
Depressed fibrotic scars
If ice-pick scars are somehow aggravated, they can transform into large, hard, crater-like scars
Macules
Flat pigmented patches. Typically the end result of severe acne, appearing and persisting after the original inflammation.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Appears anywhere on the body and varies in size. Often caused by hormonal changes, and/or acne inflammation.
Soft Scars
Generally small, these vary in depth and shape.
Atrophic Macules
Soft and sometimes blue or white. These can appear on the body as well as the face.
Follicular Macular Atrophy
Small, raised, generally white bumps, usually seen on the chest or back
At NewDermaMed we are proud to offer a variety of laser therapies to successfully treat all types of acne scars from superficial to deep acne scar tissue. Depending on the type of acne scarring, treatment plans will differ from patient to patient.
Fractional laser resurfacing is universally recognized as the most advanced treatment for acne scarring. A fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface selectively removing damaged skin in a pattern of microscopic columns. The laser energy stimulates the skin cells prompting the body’s self-renewal properties to eliminate the damaged cells and generate new healthy skin.
Fractional laser skin resurfacing targets superficial to deep acne scarring and provides long term results with minimal recovery time.
REJUVENATION
TwinLight Fractional Rejuvenation is a two dimensional skin resurfacing and rejuvenation procedure utilizing Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers for a comprehensive acne scar treatment. Laser skin rejuvenation (Er:YAG) reaches the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface to improve the appearance of red acne scars by gently heating dilated capillaries to reduce redness and stimulate collagen.
RESURFACING
Dual Fractional Laser Resurfacing provides a comprehensive skin resurfacing treatment achieved by a combination of Fractional laser and full-field Er:YAG laser. Fractional laser skin resurfacing penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface selectively removing damaged skin in a pattern of microscopic columns. The full field laser targets superficial skin imperfections such as fine lines, surface scaring, pigmentation and sun damage.
