Acne scars are dark and swollen pits of the skin formed after the healing of inflamed acne blemishes. They are formed as a result of acne breakouts caused by engorging of the skin pores with excess sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells. As these acne breakouts deeply penetrate the skin, they lead to damage to the underlying tissues. This results in the body’s healing response to the wounded site by repairing it with new collagen fibers. But, unfortunately, the new skin developed is not as smooth and flawless as normal skin, thereby causing acne scarring.

Acne scars are difficult to get rid of by a single treatment. Depending upon the skin type, scar type, and the extent of scarring, one or a combination of acne scar treatments might work in improving the skin appearance. Here at Dr. Nivedita Dadu’s Dermatology Clinic, Acne Treatment clinic in Delhi advanced treatments are provided that help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and help make skin look smoother.

Some of the effective approaches for addressing acne scars include:

1. TIXEL (a non-laser fractional system) – Tixel is a non-invasive and comfortable treatment for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, especially for the treatment of depressed rolling acne scars. It works on the principle of thermo-mechanical ablation technology. Unlike lasers, it does not harm or thermally damage the skin dermis layers. The procedure involves the direct transfer of heat to the scarred skin with the help of pre-heated titanium tips, thereby causing micro-injuries. These micro-wounds encourage the body to produce collagen and elastin fibers for firm, smooth, and supple skin. It can be carried out on the entire face, including the sensitive areas around the neck and nearby eyes.

2. Dermabrasion – Dermabrasion is also referred to as collagen induction therapy or micro-needling technique. It is a safe treatment for acne scars as it does not remove or damage the outer skin layer. The procedure involves the use of a handheld tool called a derma roller comprising microneedles. These tiny needles are inserted into the skin at a specific depth to create micro-pores in the skin which in turn promotes the release of natural growth factors and cytokines at the wounded site to stimulate wound healing cascade. As a result of the body’s healing response, new collagen and elastin fibers are produced along with neovascularization. This makes the skin smooth, clear, and firm. Regular sessions of dermaroller must be done to get optimal results.

3. Erbium fiber laser - Erbium fiber laser is a minimally invasive treatment for superficial to medium depth acne scars. This non-ablative laser makes use of a particular wavelength of light that cannot cause evaporation of water within the tissues. It employs the only one pass formula wherein the rapid light energy (a laser microbeam) is targeted to the skin using fractional laser technology. As the laser light penetrates deep into the skin dermis it causes thermal damage of melanin pigment of the skin and stimulates cell turnover and collagen remodeling. This allows the skin to regain its youthful appearance.

The overall procedure is performed on numbed skin. A numbing gel is applied to the skin for 30-45 minutes before starting the treatment. The longevity of the procedure depends upon the severity of scarring. The procedure requires no downtime.

4. Fractional CO2 laser – This type of laser works as a revolutionary treatment. It is most effective for the treatment of deeper scars. As compared to other types of lasers, it provides superior results. It helps in resurfacing of the affected skin by erasing the layers of scarred skin tissue in a fractionated method. The heat generated from the laser light results in the removal of the top skin layers to reveal the underlying fresh skin. This makes the scasr fade away as it returns to the same color as that of its surrounding skin. Moreover, the treatment also stimulates the generation of new collagen which makes the skin young-looking over the next one-three months.

5. Micro-needling Radio Frequency (MNRF) – It is a new technology to enhance the skin texture and one of the well-known solutions to clear out acne scars. It is a minimally invasive technique to rejuvenate the skin with the help of a micro-needling procedure combined with the element of radiofrequency energy. In this treatment, the target area is rapidly penetrated with insulated microneedles to create micro-injuries. Here, heat is generated by radiofrequency which does not cause any extensive damage to the superficial skin. The radiofrequency is delivered in pulses through the fractional technique. As it penetrates deep into the skin, it stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers which in turn encourages skin tightening and reduces acne scars.
