Lafayette area dermatologist describes the removal of acne scars
One of the unwanted aftereffects of a condition such as acne is scars.
Lafayette area patients are often interested in speaking to a
professional such as Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment
Institute about the removal of acne scars.
Acne scars vary. They may be permanent or may fade over
time, depending on the type. During an initial consultation and
examination with a professional, board certified dermatologist, the type
and treatment choice can be determined based on severity of the
condition and the budget of the patient. Dr. Christine Lee has a number
of methods available for the removal of acne scars and can present the
options to patients who are interested in addressing their concerns once
and for all!
There are several different kinds of acne scars and each one
may respond better with a specific treatment. Macules, tissue scarring,
tissue loss, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are unique and may
require specific types of treatments.
Treatment may be determined based on the type of acne. Common acne scar treatments include:
- Dermabrasion
- Microdermabrasion
- Chemical peels
- Fillers
- Laser therapies
- Retinoic acid
- Punch excisions
- Skin grafting
Surgical procedures, such as excisions and skin grafting,
are often chosen as a last resort when other methods are not improving
the area of concern. However, Dr. Christine Lee may present them as
options for patients when determining the severity of their condition
and learning how quickly patients would like to see results.
