ACNE SCAR TREATMENT SANTA BARBARA

Acne is one of the most common skin diseases and it often appears on the face, making it quite embarrassing. There are several treatments for acne, but some of them are more effective than the others. Patients seek effective treatments without the potential side effects associated with ablative lasers. Typically, the ideal solution is a non-ablative laser treatment.

This type of procedure rejuvenates the skin without damaging the epidermis. Non-ablative laser treatments also take care of dyspigmentation and reduces wrinkles while toning the skin and improving skin texture. These procedures produce moderate results and generally requires no downtime.

Results Without The Downtime

The Palomar 1540 laser procedure should top your consideration list if you want an effective treatment with little or no downtime. The procedure takes about 3 to 4 treatments before you achieve full results. However, the treatments need the interval of at least 30 days in between them. If these guidelines are followed, the non-ablative laser for resurfacing of the skin should yield the desired results.

How the treatment works

The Icon 1540 laser treatment delivers results by driving light energy into the skin, creating columns in the skin after it penetrates the deeper layer of the skin. Apart from getting rid of blemishes, the treatment activates and facilitates the natural healing of the skin by stimulating the growth of new and healthy tissues.

Patients will get smoother, and more youthful skin with better tone and texture. The Cynosure ICON 1540 is also known to give patients an evenly toned skin and it can reduce or erase sun damaged skin and skin imperfections such as enlarged pores, acne spots, brown spots or freckles.

What To Expect

The ICON 1540 acne scar treatment can create some discomfort during the procedure. Many providers of the treatment usually have numbing creams that they’ll apply to reduce the pain. Following the procedure, patients may encounter a gentle redness or sunburn feeling which will subside in a couple of days. It is minor and can be easily concealable. If swelling is present, it will only be present for three to five days.

There’ll be marked improvement after each acne scar treatment. You may observe that the spots on your face are gradually becoming less conspicuous over the next couple of weeks. It could take up to 6 months after you begin the treatment before the acne scars, wrinkles or lines disappear completely, leaving your skin to heal up naturally.
