Laser Treatment Is The Gold Standard Of Acne Scar Treatment

Acne is a skin condition that needs treatment from a cosmetic dermatologist or cosmetic doctor. There are many types of acne that can affect a person, some of which will clear up over time and not leave any permanent scarring. However, if the acne is very severe then you may need treatment to improve it and deal with any scarring that has occurred.

What happens during the laser resurfacing treatment?

At the VIVA Clinic, Dr Tapan Patel offers fractional resurfacing laser treatments for the reduction of acne scars. This is an ablative laser meaning that the top layer of the skin is targeted but it is fractional. This means that the laser does not vaporise the whole of the top layer of the skin, but instead produces thousands of tiny fractional laser beams. This leaves bridges of untouched skin meaning that the downtime is much reduced compared to traditional full face laser resurfacing. Collagen will still be produced and over time the appearance of the skin improves. The laser energy can also target specific deep acne scars.

Natural healthy glowing skin is seen on the face

This fractional laser skin resurfacing is seen as the gold standard in the treatment of acne scarring. However, it is important to visit a practitioner who is as experienced and qualified as Dr Tapan Patel because in the wrong hands it can make the condition worse. Dr Tapan Patel will show you before and afters of previous patients and show you what sort of results you can expect from this treatment.
