Acne Scar Removal Dubai

Acne is a common skin condition that causes an outbreak of blackheads, pimples, and cysts on your skin. Although it may seem harmless at first, the spots and pustules typical of acne that can leave behind scars. The resultant scarring can have a detrimental effect on your self-confidence. At SunFace Medical Center, we offer a wide range of dermatology treatments for acne scar removal in Dubai.

Acne occurs due to the build-up of excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria within the skin’s pores. These pores, once they swell-up enough, can break the follicle wall and result in the formation of lesions. Although these lesions heal on their own, sometimes the infected material may reach the surrounding skin and create deeper lesions. Acne scarring develops due to excess collagen build-up in the skin as your body is trying to heal the wound. Even after the wound has healed, the collagen may remain in place and results in acne scars.

Types of Acne Scars

The type of acne scarring on an individual is dependent on factors such as their skin tone and the severity of acne. Although they mostly occur on the face, it can also develop on your back, chest, and torso. Listed below are some of the most common type of acne scars:

Icepick Acne Scars

These are deep scars that extend into the skin’s lower layers. They usually develop on the forehead and upper cheeks, where the skin is thinner.

Rolling Acne Scars

These scars appear as indents in the skin and usually measure a few millimeters wide. They are commonly seen on the lower cheeks and jaws, where the skin is thicker.

Boxcar Acne Scars

These are shallow angular scars with sharp vertical edges. They commonly seen on the cheeks and temples and resemble scars left behind by chickenpox.

Acne Scar Treatment Options

At SunFace Medical Center, our experienced dermatology specialists can provide you with safe and effective treatments for acne scars. Based on the initial consultation, we will create a treatment program based on your specific condition.

Laser Therapy

Mild to moderate acne scarring can be effectively treated with laser therapies. We provide two types of laser treatments, namely ablative and non-ablative laser treatments. In ablative laser treatments, the skin surrounding the scar is removed to facilitate the growth of new skin. Non-ablative laser treatments is a milder treatment approach which helps to stimulate the growth of collagen.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels for acne and acne scars can help you to achieve a smoother, healthy-looking skin complexion. It is performed by applying a chemical solution which causes the skin to dry and peel off after a few days. Not only can chemical peel treatment make your skin smoother, but they can also improve the skin’s pigmentation.

Fillers

Dermal fillers have proven to be a highly effective treatment for indented scars left behind by moderate to severe acne scars. Not only do they help to remove scars, but they also provide a physical lifting up of the target area.

Mesotherapy

It is a minimally invasive surgical technique through which vitamins and minerals, are injected into the mesodermal layer of the skin. Mesotherapy helps to remove scars and also rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

Acne Scar Revision

It is a surgical technique which excises deeply pitted scars and sutures together the open edges of the skin. Acne scar revision produces less pronounced scars and typically heals by itself over time. The treatment is suitable to all individuals, irrespective of their age and skin type.
