One downside of acne, whether you had it as a teenager or are still dealing with it as an adult, is that it can leave behind scars. Fortunately, a number of treatments can effectively remove or minimize acne scars. Laser skin resurfacing is one option for the removal of scars. Several types of laser treatments exist. The type used at Quintessa Medical Spa is the Erbium laser, which is more effective than other laser options while causing less redness and scarring. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion can also be used to reduce the appearance of acne scars. Microdermabrasion involves exfoliating the skin using a diamond-tipped tool. The dead skin cells are then vacuumed away. The treatment is ideal for minor acne scars. It can also help if you have oily skin and if you are dealing with whiteheads and blackheads at the moment. Dr. Andrew Campbell and the staff at Quintessa Medical Spa can help you deal with your acne, whether you are in the midst of an active breakout, want a better skin-cleansing routine, or are hoping to have scars removed.
