Acne scars can leave a lasting impression, often in the form of dips and pits that disrupt the smooth surface of your skin. At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, under the expert guidance of Dr. Jason M. Riehs, we know that no one wants reminders of past breakouts.
We specialize in non-invasive treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin. By choosing our acne scar treatments, you are opting for a gentle yet effective approach to restore your skin’s smooth texture. We look forward to helping you reclaim a clear and beautiful complexion with very little downtime or trouble.
Acne scars develop through the skin’s innate recovery mechanism in response to inflammation triggered by acne. Deep acne can damage both the surface of the skin and the underlying tissue. As the acne heals, the body heals the area, a process that involves producing collagen.
Scarring occurs when the body generates either an inadequate or excessive amount of collagen. An overproduction of collagen leads to elevated scars, while a deficit results in sunken or indented scars. Acne scars are usually concave rather than raised.
PlasmaPen is a plasma fibroblasting tool that can be used as an acne scar treatment. It harnesses plasma energy to deliver a targeted treatment to the skin, initiating a natural healing process. PlasmaPen is versatile and can be used as a non-surgical approach to many skin concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and more.
PlasmaPen works by creating a small thermal injury to the skin without direct contact. This starts a healing process that results in collagen stimulation both in the epidermis and the dermis. As collagen is restored and the surface of the skin is renewed, it can lead to acne scar healing. It noticeably fills in pits in the skin while improving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at the same time.
The PlasmaPen acne scar treatment refines the skin’s texture. By targeting the scarred areas, it makes the skin smoother, reducing irregularities and enhancing overall skin uniformity. Acne scar therapy can improve the aesthetic appearance of previously scarred skin.
As an acne scar treatment option, PlasmaPen encourages increased collagen production, which is needed for skin repair and elasticity. This boost in collagen not only aids in repairing scarred tissue but also enhances the overall resilience and youthfulness of the skin.
Acne scar healing with PlasmaPen can offer long-lasting improvements. Patients can often enjoy a permanent reduction of acne scars without having to come into the clinic frequently for treatments. If you have any additional texture or complexion concerns, you can come in occasionally for maintenance treatments to boost the health and appearance of your skin.
The adaptability of PlasmaPen as an acne scar treatment means it’s effective for a wide range of skin types. More patients can benefit from this advanced scar treatment technology, regardless of their skin type. We always look closely at your medical history, current health, and skin type before recommending this treatment.
The duration of a PlasmaPen session for acne scar removal can range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Factors such as the number of scars and their severity can determine the length of each session.
Post-treatment effects of a scar therapy session can include redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. Tiny crusts may form on the treated area, which naturally heal and flake off within a week or two. It can take several more weeks for the area to fully heal.
Initial results from this acne scar reduction treatment can be visible within a few weeks, but the texture and appearance of your skin are expected to continue improving after the first few weeks. The skin’s natural healing and collagen production processes can take time, so it’s important to be patient as you wait for your results.
While PlasmaPen treatments for acne scar therapy can come with some discomfort, most patients find it to be tolerable. A topical anesthetic can be put on your skin before the treatment to numb the area and make the treatment more comfortable.
