The skin is the largest organ in the body and protects our insides from the outside environment like UV rays and bacteria which can cause infections. However, in certain parts of our body where there is an increased number of sebaceous glands like on our face, acne lesions can occur which cause scarring. To understand the effect of the removal of those acne scars, we need to understand how the acne wound healing process occurs.<\/p>\n

The first stage is inflammation, where our clogged pores become infected with bacteria and create a wound (acne pustules) which are swollen and painful. About 3 to 5 days after the wound is created, the proliferation stage by production of new blood vessels and collagen begins. Over time, the third stage of remodelling happens where those collagen fibres deposited begin to mature and acne scarring begins when there is not enough or too much collagen produced.<\/p>\n

Acne scar removal<\/a>\u00a0targets those same stages, except that it uses safe clinical techniques such as laser scar removal (Fractional CO2 Laser) or minor surgical procedures (Subcision) to help create a controlled level of inflammation in the scar which aids in breaking down irregular collagen bonds and restart the process of healing again. This helps to make acne scars less noticeable over time as the skin begins to level out.<\/p>\n

What Are The Acne Scar Removal Treatments Available in Singapore?<\/h2>\n

The effectiveness of acne scar removal treatments<\/a> for your condition will depend on many factors such as the severity of acne scarring, and also your lifestyle factors (such as avoiding excessive sun exposure, using sunscreen, and adopting a healthy diet and exercise routine). There are several acne scar removal treatments available, with multiple considerations about downtime and number of treatment sessions required.<\/p>\n

Fractional CO2 Laser & Fractional Er:YAG Laser Resurfacing<\/h3>\n

Fractional CO2 Laser<\/a> is a type of laser acne scar removal that uses laser beams to generate heat deep within the skin to remodel the collagen web. It uses \u2018fractions\u2019 of laser to target the skin in a grid manner to minimise healing time. It is preferred for rolling scars (uneven and wavy looking) or shallow boxcar scars (sharp and wide), while Fractional Er:YAG can also treat deep boxcar scars.<\/p>\n
