Acne Scars Treatment In Leeds
Acne scars are a frequent outcome for people who suffer from acne and affect 30% of those with moderate or severe acne. Any type of acne spot can lead to scarring, although scarring is more common when acne is moderate or severe. It is caused due to the bodies response to the inflammation caused by acne - new collagen is laid down to heal the injury creating scar tissue and Post inflammatory colour changes occur due to the inflammation associated with acne.

IPIXEL
Compared to older resurfacing laser technologies, iPixel is part of the new generation of non-ablative, fractional lasers that give superior results with less downtime.The iPixel directs a short, intense burst of laser energy onto the surface of the skin. As a result, both water and skin tissue become vapourous within the surface layers. Each time the laser passes over the skin, tiny areas (or pixels) of the outermost layers are removed. Surrounding skin tissue is untouched and remains intact. In this process, collagen is stimulated by the body’s natural healing process iorder to replace lost skin with new, healthy, and smoother tissue.
BLUNT CANNULA 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.
TCA CROSS
Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars is a specialised technique used to treat atrophic scars, particularly ice-pick and boxcar scars. The procedure involves the application of high-concentration trichloroacetic acid
