Say Goodbye to Acne Scars
The appearance of acne scars can be significantly improved with the help of the skincare professionals at Privá MedSpa. We offer several treatments to create smoother, evenly-toned skin, with a dramatic improvement in skin quality and appearance. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend the best treatment option based on your specific scar type and skin goals.
Types of Acne Scars We Treat
Every individual has a unique skin condition. Acne breakouts can leave the skin with distinct types of scars, along with skin discolorations. Our acne scar treatment in Fairfield will reflect the issues you most want to resolve. The types of acne scars include:
- Ice-pick scars: Deep, narrow, pitted scars.
- Rolling scars: Uneven skin texture with broad surface depressions.
- Boxcar scars: Acne scars with edges that are more sharply defined.
- Atrophic scars: Flatter, thinner, or depressed scars.
- Hypertrophic scars: Thick, lumpy scars.
Acne Scar Treatments At Privá MedSpa
Morpheus8
The Morpheus8 system can be an excellent way to smooth acne-scarred skin. This treatment is performed to reduce the size of scars, with the added benefit of preventing scars in cases of active acne. The treatment involves RF fractional microneedling to trigger natural cell renewal. The device creates micro-injuries in the skin, enhanced with RF energy, enhancing the natural healing processes. The cells begin to regenerate, and more collagen is produced, leaving your skin smoother, healthier, and more evenly toned.
Microneedling
Microneedling, or “collagen induction therapy,” can help acne-scarred skin become smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture. This treatment can only be performed when your skin is not experiencing a breakout. The micro-channels created by the microneedling device trigger the natural healing mechanisms in the skin. A series of microneedling treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of acne scars.
Tetra CO2 laser
The Tetra CO2 laser system is considered to be the “gold standard” skin resurfacing device. For a dramatic improvement in skin smoothness, tone, and texture, this groundbreaking device goes above and beyond in results. The treatments have the advantage of requiring little to no downtime. Your skin is numbed before treatment, and the device is applied to the damaged areas. You may need a series of CoolPeel treatments to achieve the optimal improvement in the appearance of acne scars.
Custom-designed Treatments
The first step of acne scar treatment in Westport is to meet with our skincare expert. Our goal is to achieve results that enhance your life experience and bring you improved confidence. Our private, luxury, boutique-style center offers you an environment of personalized care, support, and empowerment. Gabrielle Pino PA-C, is recognized as being among the most talented, experienced experts in skin rejuvenation in the Connecticut and beyond.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your comfort is our priority at Privá MedSpa. To begin, you’ll relax while a numbing cream is applied to your skin to ensure a painless experience. Once the cream has taken full effect, your acne scar treatment will be carefully performed. The specifics of the treatment depend on the treatment menthod, but it typically takes about one hour. For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended, spaced every four to six weeks, to gradually improve skin texture and overall quality.
Recovery after acne treatments
Your recovery time will vary based on the treatment delivered:
- Recovery time after Morpheus8 treatments: One of the advantages of a Morpheus8 treatment is the recovery time is minimal. Most people just return to their usual activities the day after the treatment. Your skin may be red or slightly inflamed for about a week or have minor swelling, but these side effects are negligible. Your skin will continue to heal for several weeks, continuing to improve in texture, tone, and quality.
- Recovery time after microneedling: Microneedling does not involve a long recovery time and typically takes only one day, although it could be a little longer. Avoid sun exposure, always wear sunscreen if you need to go out, and you can apply makeup after the tiny micro-injuries heal, typically within 24 hours.
- Recovery time after Tetra CO2 Laser: The Tetra CO2 laser system has revolutionized skin resurfacing. The device does not heat the surrounding tissues and does not require a long recovery time. Your skin could appear reddened for a day or two, like a mild sunburn. This device is a top-performer for acne scars, and the treatment comes with no downtime – just smoother, healthier, more evenly toned skin.
