Your acne has finally cleared up – but now you’re left with a face full of acne scars. These scars may feel worse than the original acne breakout to begin with, since you still feel self-conscious about the red marks and pocks on your face. In fact, acne scars can last for such a significant period of time that many former acne sufferers may still feel self-conscious about their appearance.
If this sounds familiar, it’s important to know that you don’t have to wait years until the scars fade away. Instead, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Tatiana Khrom at Khrom Dermatology in Brooklyn, New York (also serving the metro NYC areas). Founded by Dr. Khrom, Khrom Dermatology offers innovative and highly effective treatments for clients who suffer from acne scars.
There are a variety of acne scar removal treatments designed for ultra-fast success. Some of these acne scar treatments include:
- Bellafill: Formerly known as Artefill, this treatment is a collagen-based filler with PMMA microspheres designed to “fill out” the dents and pocks left by acne scars. This treatment provides instant improvement, while also increasing long-term cellular turnover by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin within the skin. Bellafill is approved by the FDA for the treatment of acne scars, as well as smile lines.
- Subcision: This is a special nokor needle that’s used to break up the fibrous bands left over after acne breakouts have faded away. The bruises that form as a result of the treatment elevate the scar from its previous position, leading to a smoother complexion. Ice can help with swelling, which may last for three to seven days.
- Cross Method: The TCA Cross treatment uses a high concentration of TCA (100%) and inserts that mixture into a deep acne scar (usually referred to as a pock mark or ice pick scar). Patients may see scabs for two weeks after treatments; however, once the scabs fade, the skin is smoother and firmer.
Dr. Khrom typically combines these combinations with a glycolic peel, a TCA peel, and/or four to six sessions of iPixel. These treatments can help create a smoother and more flawless complexion, leaving clients feeling confident in their own skin again.
