Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars are very common. Some 80% of people between ages 11 and 30 will get acne, and one out of five of those will develop scars. This scar develops when a deep pimple or acne breakout clears. Although keep in mind that not every acne breakout causes a scar. However, even if those acne scars can actually fade, they rarely go away completely on their own.
To better put things in perspective, let me begin by defining what and how acne develops: An acne lesion (or what we commonly call pimples) grow when bacteria, oils and dead skin fill up and inflame our pores. Sometimes clogged pores are small and result in “whiteheads or blackheads.” Sometimes these pores become inflamed and lead to other types of acne.
Having acne is the most common skin condition in the world. Take it from someone who knows a thing or two about acne. Teenagers get acne thanks to their changing hormones. Adults deal with stress, the environment, menstrual cycles, some skin products, birth control pills, and of course, hormones can still play a role. Given that our skin is the largest organ composed of three main layers, these layers are prone to acne — especially the face, back and chest. Acne scars results from the inflammation of acne blemishes. Some acne blemishes are small and the scars are shallow and heal quickly, while some cause deeper scars. Also, acne scars take on two main forms: either a scar develops when there is a loss of tissue, resulting in an indentation in the surface of the skin; or, it develops and is raised on the surface of the skin.
Now before you loose hope of ever getting rid of your acne scars, keep in mind that just because you have acne, that doesn’t mean you’ll get scars. And if you do, the good news is that not all acne scars are permanent! Treatments are available.
“Now you see it.. now you don’t!”
Now YOU CAN experience the ultimate skincare treatment with the latest Microneedling RF technology that combines the benefits of monopolar radiofrequency (RF) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to rejuvenate and refresh deep tissues. Microneedling can help break up scar tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen, improving the appearance of acne scars. A few short treatment sessions with ISKIN EXION RF Microneedling will cause these “unwanted marks” on your skin to even out and clear up, sometimes as if they were never there.
With the ISKIN EXION Face applicator, you experience the benefits of using monopolar RF and focused ultrasound to create controlled thermal stress.
The treatment uses a specialized cooling system to keep the skin comfortable and protected during the procedure. This means that patients can enjoy the benefits of skin rejuvenation without the pain or downtime associated with other treatments.
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology with EXION’s advanced energy administration system has revolutionized skin rejuvenation procedures as it has eliminated the guesswork part of the treatment, and each procedure is orchestrated with unparalleled precision. With AI technology, the ISKIN EXION can analyze a patient’s skin type, thickness, and other unique characteristics to determine the optimal energy settings for treatment. This tailoring of energy delivery ensures that the treatment is more effective, safer, and more comfortable for the patient.
Aside from treating acne scars, this treatment also helps improve skin texture and tone, leaving you with smoother, more even-looking skin; reduce the appearance of sun damage, including dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and help improve stretch marks’ appearance by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. ISKIN EXION can also stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
