Acne is a very common problem that not only adolescents suffer from. With some of the people affected, the acne will heal up completely without leaving any scars. However, in many cases sometimes deep scars remain and affect not only the complexion but possibly also the respective person’s well-being.
What causes acne scars
Acne scars are related to dermal alterations after the skin’s recovery from severe inflammation. The body attempts to “repair” damaged connective tissue and restore the dermal structure. However, if the respective injuries have been too severe, scars might remain. The structure and functions of skin affected by acne scars differ significantly from those of the surrounding unaffected skin. Such skin will no longer produce sebaceous and sweat glands. Moreover, its elasticity is clearly reduced, which might result in consolidation of the skin. Additionally, the skin’s perfusion and moisture regulation are severely restricted.
How to treat acne scars
Generally, we differentiate between atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars. Atrophic scars are recesses in the skin that might have different shapes (“ice picks”, craters, etc.). Hypertrophic scars are ridges on the skin’s surface that are less frequently suffered from by former acne patients. Depending on the intensity and type of respective acne scars, we deploy the Revlite laser combind with Jet-peeling, fractional CO2 laser and PRP micro-needling.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Carbon Laser Peeling
The Carbon Laser Peel, also called Hollywood Peel, is an effective laser peeling procedure for gentle deep cleansing, brightening and rejuvenating of the skin. The innovative treatment provides a balanced, even skin texture with a fresh glow. The peel combats the signs of ageing, corrects skin pigmentation and improves the appearance of pores, acne and scars.
CO2 Laser, Fractional Laser Therapy, Fraxel repair
CO2 laser therapy and CO2 fractional laser therapy (Fraxel repair) are highly effective methods for skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, skin smoothing, and the efficient treatment of undesired skin alterations. Wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores can just as well be treated effectively and almost painlessly.

PRP is the abbreviation of Platelet Rich Plasma, in colloquial speech also called vampire lifting. PRP is a treatment that employs the client’s own blood and plasma plus the blood platelets it contains to stimulate regenerative processes in the skin.

The fractionated radiofrequency microneedling is an innovative method of skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. Very good results could be achieved especially for wrinkles and sagging skin on the face, neck and neckline. The treatment is also excellently suited to stretch marks and acne scars.
