Acne is a common skin problem that plagues many patients. We now know that acne can be a life-long problem for some patients and in some cases, can lead to mild to severe acne scars. Many patients who do suffer from acne scarring are looking for solutions for acne scar removal. With the improvement in laser technology and medical research over the last few years, there is now a shift to using fractional Co2 treatments for the improvement of acne scars.
At Cosmopolitan Clinic, we provide solutions for both acne and acne scar treatments. Although acne scar removal with lasers may not always be possible (especially with certain type of scars). However, with medical laser therapy there are ways to reduce the appearance of acne scars on your skin.
The eCO2 treatment from Lutronic is a new generation of CO2 fractional resurfacing laser that superficially targets the epidermis and promotes collagen remodelling deep in the reticular dermis. This can effectively improve the appearance of acne scars by creating a uniform and consistent skin resurfacing result after several treatments.
This therapy with the eCO2 laser requires a shorter treatment time and is considerably more comfortable for patients treating their acne scars. There is usually some mild swelling after each treatment and typically patients will have a sun-burnt look for the next few days with microscopic scabbing of the skin. Recovery is much faster with this fractional Co2 therapy. When accompanied with the appropriate pro-healing post laser skin products prescribed by our experienced doctors, very often there is minimal downtime.
