Acne Scar Removal Treatment

ACNE SCAR REMOVAL
IN NEW JERSEY Acne scars are stubborn, and no single treatment is best for everyone. Various methods may help remove your acne scars. Dr. Rapaport may suggest one or a combination of treatments for mild or deep acne scars.

Banish Acne Scars

and improve your quality of life

Acne blemishes are caused by a complex skin disorder that is not just problematic for adolescents but also for adults. Acne can affect multiple areas, including the face, back, chest, and even arms. Sometimes it may seem like the acne is extremely noticeable to everyone around you. And if it’s not the blemishes that have you reaching for the cover-up, it’s the scars that remain after years of battling the condition. Makeup, lotions and creams may provide a temporary improvement, but they do not treat the core of the problem.

Dr. Rapaport offers a permanent solution and the acne scar treatment options that you can feel confident about. He uses the most advanced technology available today to treat the damaged skin on the deep level and provide outstanding permanent results.

Why Do Acne Scars Appear and What Can I Do?

What is Acne and Why Does it Cause Your Skin to Scar?

The internet is filled with myths about what causes pimples, but acne is a long-term skin disorder that is caused when hair follicles are blocked up with oils, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The clogged pores develop an infection in the follicle and manifest as a swollen, irritated lump in the skin.

While acne affects hundreds of millions of Americans on a daily basis, not everyone with the affliction develops humiliating facial scars. You see, not everyone’s skin reacts to acne the same way, due to a variety of factors. The human body produces an important protein called collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein that gives your skin its elasticity. Meaning it gives your skin its shape and firmness. Sometimes when your skin is healing from the infection in the hair follicles, the collagen is harmed during the process. This is more common in some sufferers than others, and the damage can lead to elevated and pockmarked scaring left by acne.

How Can I Heal My Facial Scarring?

Those who have been scarred by acne will be relieved to know that there are fillers, lasers, and micro-needling procedures that have been developed to handle even the most stubborn acne scars. The treatments aid sufferers from the smallest of scars to the most persistent. Regardless their skin tone, patients can obtain a balanced, smooth, and natural pigmentation. Come to the New Jersey office of Jeffrey Rapaport, MD and have a consultation with Dr. Rapaport. There, he will assess your scarring and develop a custom course of action to treat your skin.

What Are the Types of Acne Scars?

Acne scars fall into two main categories: those caused by a loss of tissue (atrophic scars), and those caused by an excess of tissue (hypertrophic scars). Within these categories, there are four main types of acne scars: ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and keloid scars.

Acne scars can be difficult to treat, and always require professional help if you want to see real improvement. Unfortunately, over-the-counter products simply aren’t powerful enough to improve anything besides discoloration.

The Procedure

How We Can Eliminate Acne Scaring with RF and Laser?

When weighing your options for scar treatments, there are many procedures available to you, but Dr. Rapaport gets his most dramatic results with the Infini RF, Co2 Laser and subcision because they work on the deep level and provide specific skin health benefits to his patients.

The RF and Co2 laser are treatments that can single out those troublesome mid-skin-deep scars. These procedures are able to treat patients who in the past were thought non-treatable by other treatments.

The RF Micro-Needling aids those with acne scars by offering a resolution that:

  • Can be altered to accurately pinpoint their specific skin troubles.
  • Offers the bonus of minimizing pore visibility and gives the skin a refreshing luminosity.
  • Can be adapted for treatment intensity and faster recovery from the treatment.

What Does the Procedure Feel Like?

Procedures administered with the RF are mild and easy, unlike harsh surgical options. It is possible that you might see some irritation following the procedure. It will normally subside within a few of days after the procedure as the skin starts to heal and regenerate.

If you are receiving treatments with the RF for acne scarring, you will get the best results from a few repeated treatments. However, each treatment will stimulate the proteins in the skin, working towards a more even complexion.

2 treatments of subcision with Growth Factors and one Co2 laser 6 months after.

Customized Personalized Acne Scar Removal

Subcision

Subcision is a procedure which releases scars that have become stuck to the deeper tissues and bound down. When a scar forms, new collagen is produced.

Scar collagen is not as supple or as neatly laid as normal collagen. This new collagen can stretch from the scar to the deeper tissues, like a web, and pull the scar down. This makes the scar look more indented and causes shadows, divots and pits. Breaking these connections helps to lift the scar back up.

Profound RF

Profound uses radiofrequency technology to help eradicate scars of all depths via a combination of heat and little needles. The heat is delivered at different depths in the skin, which creates new collagen and elastin. That in turn leads to improved texture, skin tightening, and reduced visibility of scars.

CO2 Laser

CO2 Laser resurfacing is best for superficial to medium depth scars. These include boxcar scars, shallow pick and ice pick scars, superficial rolling scars as well as hypertrophic scars. Lasers will also improve skin quality, shrink pores & reduce pigmentation. They can improve the light reflex & radiance of your skin.
