Acne and Laser

Clear Skin, Renewed Confidence: Addressing Acne and Acne Scarring at Rejuva Medispa & Laser

Understanding Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that arises when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This often results in the formation of various types of blemishes, such as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and often painful cysts. While acne is widespread and can affect individuals of all ages, its impact on one's skin and self-esteem can be significant.

Types of Acne Lesions

Pimples: Inflamed lesions with pus at their tips.

Blackheads: Open pores filled with excess oil and dead skin cells, appearing black on the surface.

Whiteheads: Closed pores containing trapped oil and dead skin cells.

Cysts: Deep, painful, and pus-filled lumps beneath the skin.

Factors Contributing to Acne

Excess Oil Production: Overproduction of sebum by oil glands.

Clogged Pores: Accumulation of dead skin cells and debris.

Bacteria: Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria thriving in clogged pores.

Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during adolescence.

Understanding Acne Scarring

Acne scarring occurs when the skin's healing process is disrupted, leading to the formation of permanent scars. These scars can manifest in various forms, including atrophic scars (indentations) or hypertrophic scars (raised bumps). Acne scarring not only affects the skin's texture but can also impact self-esteem and confidence.

Types of Acne Scars

Contributing Factors to Acne Scarring

Inflammation: Severe inflammation during active acne can increase the likelihood of scarring.

Delayed or Inadequate Treatment: Lack of prompt and effective acne management.

Picking or Squeezing Pimples: Manipulating acne lesions can worsen scarring.

Ice Pick Scars: Narrow, deep pits resembling the marks left by an ice pick.

Boxcar Scars: Broad indentations with sharply defined edges.

Rolling Scars: Wave-like undulations on the skin's surface.

How Laser Treatments Work

Laser treatments at Rejuva Medispa & Laser leverage cutting-edge technology to target and address multiple aspects of acne-related issues:

01

Reducing Inflammation

Laser therapy can help diminish the inflammation associated with active acne lesions, promoting quicker healing and alleviating discomfort.

02

Eliminating Bacteria

Certain laser wavelengths have antimicrobial properties, effectively targeting and reducing the acne-causing bacteria on the skin.

03

Stimulating Collagen Production

Laser treatments can stimulate the production of collagen, a crucial protein that helps in the healing process and promotes smoother, healthier skin.

04

Minimizing Scarring

For those dealing with acne scarring, laser therapy can help minimize the appearance of scars by encouraging collagen remodeling and skin rejuvenation.
