Post-Acne
Post-acne concerns follow acne of every kind - scars, marks, or both together.
How do post-acne scars form?
Scars result from tissue damage caused by prolonged inflammation or improper skin care - picking or squeezing blemishes and spreading them to other areas of the skin. Post-acne scars form for several reasons: aggressive squeezing of acne lesions at home, and inadequate treatment that leaves a scar in the skin tissue.
There are three types of post-acne scars, and the program treats all of them.
How the treatment works
In-clinic treatments combine at-home active ingredients with dedicated professional technology: fractional RF, microneedling and peels. The goal is a controlled micro-injury that prompts the body to renew itself by building fresh tissue.
The treatment encourages formation of new collagen fibres through the acids in the prescribed products - collagen is what repairs the damage inflammation leaves in the skin. The products also drive controlled renewal and exfoliation of the uppermost skin layer, reducing scar depth.
The program structure
A post-acne series pairs daily use of dedicated home-care products with a monthly in-clinic session, using a device that heals and visibly softens scarring.
The treatment is highly effective for those who have not taken Roaccutane for an extended period.
What to expect
In most cases the improvement is very significant; in rare cases skin responds less well, as it can be highly sensitive to the actives or the device.
Side effects: some redness may appear after treatment and the renewing skin may feel slightly sensitive - we make sure to saturate it with plenty of hydrating care.
Pricing & Cadence
Treatment cost is determined by the technology best suited to the desired result. Sessions are held once a month.
Pricing subject to personal diagnosis
