[felix-healthcare]

Introduction: Acne, a common skin condition affecting millions worldwide, can be a persistent source of frustration and self-consciousness. While traditional treatments like topical creams and oral medications have long been the go-to options, advancements in dermatological technology have introduced new approaches, including lasers and lights. In this article, we'll delve into the effectiveness of lasers and lights in treating acne, exploring their mechanisms, benefits, and considerations.

How to Choose an Acne Scarring Removal Cream

With a few simple skincare ingredients, you can fade acne scarring at home. The type of product you choose will depend on what kind of scarring you have and your skin type. Some treatments work better for some types of scarring than others and some only help with certain kinds of discoloration. There are also some products that can make your scars worse if you're not careful about how you use them.

Many of the ingredients that you can find in acne scar creams are collagen-building and skin brightening, which will help improve the appearance of your skin and reduce discoloration from your acne scarring. These include retinols, salicylic acid (an exfoliating beta hydroxy acid that helps unclog pores), vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid, which chemically exfoliate the skin to fade discoloration and prevent the formation of new scar tissue.

Other ingredients in these treatments help treat other signs of acne, such as redness and hyperpigmentation. They may contain pigment-fading ingredients, such as tranexamic acid, which is one of the hero ingredients that fades dark spots from the sun and other causes, or they can help balance your skin tone and texture with ingredients, such as licorice root extract, centella asiatica and zinc sulfate. These ingredients are often included in both cost-effective and splurge-worthy options for acne scarring removal creams.

The type of scarring you have will also influence how well an acne scar cream works for you. "Scarring can be broken down into a few different categories," says dermatologist Dr. Chwalek. There are box car scars with shallow, sharp-edged depressions; atrophic scars with more rolling depressions; and hypertrophic scars with raised, firm tissue that can be difficult to treat and often take months to go away on their own. Some hypertrophic scars can even grow thicker over time, which requires additional treatment, such as lasers or injectables."

In addition to the ingredients, it's important to consider what part of your body you want to treat with a scar cream and how much of a commitment you're willing to make to using it. Silicone sheets and pads can be effective for treating acne scarring but aren't suitable for the face or jointed parts of the body that move a lot, such as your knees and elbows. Most scar creams require consistent daily application, so you'll need to be committed to your regimen.

The good news is that most acne scars will fade with continued use of a scar cream. But if you're not seeing results, talk to your doctor. There are a few other treatments they can recommend, such as surgical removal or in-office treatment, to help you get the clear skin you desire.

Our Acne Doctor Australia doctors can prescribe medications your family doctor (GP) can’t prescribe. These special medications are the most effective in clearing stubborn acne. Talk to your GP first before making your appointment with us. Ask them for a referral to Acne Doctors at Teledermatologist.

A guide: Before / After Liposuction In Ahmedabad!

Did you know that liposuction is the second most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure? In 2020, over 300,000+ liposuction procedures were performed in the United States, so if you're thinking about getting liposuction, you're not alone. Alvura assists you by providing a satisfying Liposuction experience in Ahmedabad. 

While liposuction is a relatively safe procedure that can help to effectively remove stubborn fat pockets from the body, it is still a surgical procedure that necessitates care and attention for a healthy recovery. Knowing what to expect after surgery can make the recovery process go more smoothly.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is the second most popular cosmetic surgery procedure. It is a significant procedure that eliminates excess fat from specific areas of your body. Your doctor will perform this surgical procedure by sculpting and contouring the areas of your body where fat cells will be permanently removed.

Every day, several people are struggling with excessive body fat. When a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise fail to eliminate fat bulges, liposuction is frequently a viable option for achieving the desired body contour. Liposuction can be used to identify a variety of areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and hips.

One can anticipate experiencing minor discomfort after the procedure, as well as bruising, redness, and swelling. Prescription medications can help alleviate uneasiness. Wearing a compression garment may be prescribed to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Swelling typically begins to decrease by the end of the first week, but compression clothing should be worn until week four or as or else directed. Some level of swelling may last for up to six weeks, but you should be able to return to work within a few days.

At Alvura, we are dedicated to providing you the best results possible while centering around the philosophy of integrity and safety.

Real Skincare Guide

Level 1: breakouts, non-painful, a little scarring

Minimize your skincare routine, all you need is an oil cleanser (if you wear a lot of makeup) than a good foam cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Repeat the same routine before bed just without the sunscreen.

Wear sunscreen everyday!!!

Always apply more moisturizer than you think you need.

Drink a lot of water (2-3LT)

Get consistent sleep

Take a multi vitamins to balance your hormones. I recommend the One-A-Day Woman’s Vitamins (get a real pill cause the gummies don’t have enough iron)

Work on your stress (breathe work, meditate, journal, yoga, walks, going out with friends, therapy, etc)

Look at what body oils/shampoo/conditioner you are using. Could be your akin reacting poorly to something in there.

Level 2: consistant breakouts, acne, scarring

All the stuff for Level 1 apply.

Minimize your skincare routine and than slowly add back in stuff like hydrochloric acid and retinol. Having an elaborate skincare will just make your skin worse. First, focus on healing your skin barrier.

If you are a teenager, it just might be your hormones/growing pains. It will go away eventually.

Pimple Patches work and are especially good if you are trying to stop touching your face.

Wash your pillow cases every 1-2 weeks.

Try to sleep on your back.

If you pop a pimple than apply an antibiotic ointment.

No point in using anti-aging products if you are under the age of 25. It just won’t do anything for you.

Note that if you take in a lot of nicotine you will breakout. If you smoke and you have bad skin, it probably won’t improve unless you quit or lessen the dosage.

Level 3: painful consistent breakouts/acne/scars, redness, irritability, hurts,

Go see a dermatologist!

Acne is can be a real problem. If your acne is painful seek professional help.

If Accutane is recommended, than I would do it. Based only on the experiences of my friends, I have seen great results after a couple months. There are side effects and it is not for everyone but if a professional says you should than I might consider it.

No topical treatment is going to make those scars go away. You are going to need to laser resurfacing which is like this secret treatment rich people do to clear up their skin. It is expensive but really works. Beauty brands want you to think that the right cream can clear up your skin but if you have bad scarring you are only going to see real results with laser treatments

All of the above recommendations still apply

Your acne does not take away from your beauty or your worth as a human being. Remember that acne is normal and social media is fake.

Product Recommandations:

Disclaimer: Not every product will work for every skin type. Do your research for what will be beat for you!

So you’re considering getting some medical esthetic procedures done. That’s hot! But before you schedule an appointment or consultation here’s a quick guide of contraindications to be aware of!!

What is a Contraindication?

A contraindication is a condition we look for in the medical field that serves as a reason to not continue forward with a medical treatment due to potential harm the treatment may cause to a patient!

Laser Hair Removal:

Herpes and Cold Sores: Can you get laser hair removal with herpes or cold sores? Yes! But only if there is not an active breakout. We do warn the clients that the lasers we use are powerful enough to cause a herpes or cold sore breakout to occur so please proceed with caution!

Retinol: Use of Retinol’s are a huge no no! It can cause severe damage, burning or scaring if a laser is used! If you are on Retinol please stay off of it for 1 week before your laser hair removal procedure.

Seizures + Epilepsy: If you have a history of epilepsy please refrain from getting any laser or light treatment as it can induce seizures.

Bacterial Skin Infections: Infections can spread to other parts of the body if a laser is used.

Impetigo: This highly contagious superficial skin infection is something we as your medical esthetician should be aware of before continuing with treatment.

Cellulitis: This infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue should be cleared before you continue with any laser or light therapy.

Sunburns are known to disrupt the skin barrier and are considered contraindications. Any suspicious lesions should always be evaluated by a physician prior to treatment.

Accutane: You must be off of Accutane for at least six months to a year, depending on a physician’s  preference prior to treatment with laser or light therapy.

Immediate Post-Operative Face Lift, Blepharoplasty or Neck Lift: Treatment is avoided for clients who are in post op from these treatments until a physician has given approval for laser or light treatment. 

Pregnancy and Lactation: Pregnancy and lactation are considered contraindications women who are pregnant or lactating, should wait after pregnancy + breastfeeding so a child will not be exposed before beginning or continuing laser or light treatment. 

Laser Tattoo Removal:

Laser tattoo removal shares the same contraindications as laser hair removal.

Active Acne: Areas of active acne can be skipped over but if there is an all over outbreak it is best to wait.

Rosacea: Clients with vascular rosacea can receive treatment, but not pustular or nodular rosacea wait until the information has settled.

Atopy, Asthma, Hay Fever and Allergies: Any patient with a history of allergies maybe prone to urticaria, after needling due to the release of histamines.

[sibelin]

I am having a big breakdown about my skin issues. Not talking about it too much here but I have a form of permanent rosacea that absolutely kills me because i have to wear makeup to look like I have a "normal skin". That issue is genetic but also due to abrasive products that have been prescribed for my acne when I was a kid. I had a very bad experience with my former acne dermatologist who basically told me i'll have to hide all my life and that there is nothing i can do. But recently i've discovered before/after pictures that looks just like my skin and these pictures were about laser treatments that seem to actually work. I can't barely look at my face sometimes. And now I have to go to a whole process to go see dermatologists which are : sold to that good old big pharma/ready to tell me that i have to hide my face. I am terrified, I am disgusted with myself. My heart is sinking so low for spending years thinking "it's my fault /I can only hide" for a skin disease that is just a fucking russian roulette. I wish I was more lucky. Have it fucking easy like everyone else.

Reasons Why You Visit a Dermatologist

With the youth craze taking place and everyone seeking a more youthful appearance, it should come as no surprise that dermatologists are in high demand, and many people seek them out for cosmetic purposes. These doctors of Dermatology are not just in the business of making people beautiful, they also treat some very serious skin conditions. Moreover, choosing the right doctor can also pose a challenge because if you are going to see them for skin conditions and they are accustomed to treating cosmetic issues, you may want to look for one that specifically treats your ailment.

The most common reason people visit dermatologist in Augusta is due to acne. Many teenagers undergo dermatology treatments because as their hormones are changing and they can develop severe acne as a result. Many adults also suffer from acne and have to continually have specialized treatments provided by their doctor. For some people, once they pass puberty they never deal with acne and for others it is something they deal with on and off through their entire lives. Best Dermatologist in kota

Another common ailment that people visit their dermatologist is psoriasis, which is a chronic condition of the skin that causes extremely dry patches on areas of the body such as the knees, elbows and scalp. It is typically treated with various creams to hydrate the skin as much as possible and often oral medications may be prescribed depending on the severity of the condition. There is no cure for psoriasis and the goal is to keep the condition under control as much as possible by keeping the areas affected hydrated. Special shampoos are designed to help those with scalp psoriasis and many dermatologist will prescribe medicated creams and shampoos. Dermatologist in Kota

In addition, many people visit a doctor of dermatology if they have stretch marks, which can happen after pregnancy or losing a lot of weight. There are specialized laser treatments that dermatologist can use to help with stretch marks that creams simply cannot do. Your skin is the first aspect of you that you present to the world, and therefore, rather than hiding your stretch marks with clothing, you can have them treated and removed or diminished greatly.

A big reason people visit dermatologists is due to sun damage. This is something that happens over years of being in the sun without sunscreen. What happens is the skin becomes dry and you have premature wrinkling on those areas that were exposed to the sun, such as your face, where wrinkles can become quite deep long before they should. Sun damage is very serious and while there are many treatments in dermatology for this condition, nothing can restore the skin to its state it was before the sun's damage. Therefore, it is crucial to always where a high levels of sunscreen if you live in a super sunny and hot area of the country.

Effective Scar Removal Treatments in London for Smoother Skin

Scars are a common concern for many individuals, whether they result from acne, injury, surgery, or skin conditions. They can affect one’s confidence and overall sense of well-being. Thankfully, there are numerous advanced scar removal treatments available in London that can help smooth out the skin and restore its appearance. With innovations in skincare technology, residents and visitors to the city have access to effective solutions that suit various types of scars, skin tones, and individual needs.

Understanding Different Types of Scars

Before delving into the treatments available in London, it’s important to understand the different types of scars people seek to treat. Each type requires a unique approach for optimal results.

Atrophic Scars: These are often the result of acne or chickenpox, characterized by indentations or depressions in the skin. They occur when the skin loses its ability to regenerate properly, leaving behind uneven texture.

Hypertrophic Scars: These are raised scars that occur due to the overproduction of collagen during the wound-healing process. They tend to remain within the boundaries of the original injury.

Keloid Scars: These are similar to hypertrophic scars but grow beyond the original wound site. Keloid scars can be painful and may continue to grow over time.

Contracture Scars: These typically form after burns or other injuries that cause a significant amount of skin loss. They cause the skin to tighten, which can limit movement and cause discomfort.

Dark Pigmented Scars: Hyperpigmentation often accompanies scar formation, particularly in darker skin tones. These scars may fade over time but often benefit from specific treatments to reduce their visibility.

Understanding the type of scar you have is crucial in choosing the right treatment for effective results.

Popular Scar Removal Treatments in London

London is home to a variety of clinics offering specialized treatments for scar removal. From non-invasive solutions to surgical options, there are numerous methods to consider based on the type of scar, your skin type, and personal preferences.

1. Laser Scar Removal

Laser treatments are among the most popular and effective methods for treating various types of scars. Lasers work by using concentrated beams of light to break down scar tissue and encourage new skin cell growth. Different lasers target different layers of the skin, making it a versatile treatment for both superficial and deep scars.

There are two main types of lasers used in scar removal treatments in London:

Ablative Lasers: These lasers remove the outer layers of the skin, encouraging the growth of smoother, unscarred skin. They are highly effective but may require some downtime as the skin heals.

Non-Ablative Lasers: These lasers work beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production without removing the top layer. This method is less invasive and requires minimal recovery time.

Laser scar removal can improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and even deep trauma scars, making it a highly sought-after option in London.

2. Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a device fitted with tiny, fine needles. These needles create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This process helps smooth out the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of scars.

Microneedling is particularly effective for treating atrophic scars, such as those caused by acne, as it works to plump up and even out the skin. It can be combined with other treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to enhance results.

One of the key advantages of microneedling is that it works well for all skin tones, as it poses little risk of pigmentation issues, making it a great option for individuals seeking scar removal London.

3. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are another popular option for reducing the appearance of scars. These treatments involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and peel off. This reveals new, smoother skin beneath.

The strength of the peel can vary depending on the type of scar and skin type. Lighter peels are often used for superficial scars, while deeper peels are more effective for more severe scars like hypertrophic or keloid scars.

Chemical peels are widely available in London and are favored for their ability to improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime. However, they may need to be repeated to achieve the desired result.

4. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are typically associated with cosmetic procedures to reduce wrinkles, but they can also be used to treat certain types of scars. Specifically, fillers are effective for atrophic scars that cause depressions in the skin, such as acne scars.

Fillers work by plumping up the indented areas, making the skin appear smoother and more even. They provide immediate results, though they are not a permanent solution. Many people opt to have filler treatments repeated every six months to a year to maintain the desired effect.

London-based clinics often recommend dermal fillers for individuals looking for a quick and non-invasive way to improve the appearance of scars without undergoing surgery or laser treatments.

5. Steroid Injections

For hypertrophic and keloid scars, steroid injections can be an effective treatment. These injections help to flatten raised scars by reducing inflammation and collagen production. Over time, this makes the scar less noticeable and helps improve the overall texture of the skin.

Steroid injections are typically administered over several sessions, depending on the severity of the scar. This treatment is particularly useful for scars that are resistant to other methods, such as laser therapy or microneedling.

6. Surgical Scar Revision

For more severe or stubborn scars, surgical scar revision may be the best option. This procedure involves removing the scar tissue and reconstructing the area to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In some cases, techniques like skin grafting or flap surgery are used to achieve the best results.

Surgical scar revision is often recommended for large scars, such as those caused by trauma, surgery, or burns. It is generally considered a last resort when other treatments have proven ineffective. London’s experienced plastic surgeons offer this option for individuals seeking more dramatic improvements in their skin’s appearance.

Choosing the Right Scar Removal Treatment

Selecting the best scar removal treatment depends on several factors, including the type of scar, its location, skin type, and budget. Consulting with a specialist in London can help you determine the most effective course of action. Many clinics offer personalized consultations to assess the scar and recommend a tailored treatment plan.

Additionally, it’s important to have realistic expectations. While modern scar removal treatments can significantly improve the appearance of scars, completely erasing them is often not possible. The goal is to minimize the visibility of the scar and create smoother, more even skin.

Conclusion

If you are looking to improve the appearance of scars and achieve smoother skin, London offers a wide array of treatments tailored to different needs. Whether through laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, or surgical intervention, there are effective solutions available for reducing scars. By consulting with a qualified professional, you can explore the best options for your specific situation and achieve a noticeable improvement in skin texture. With the right treatment, scar removal in London can help you regain confidence and enjoy a more flawless complexion.

How Does Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment Fade Age Spots?

Article source: https://www.litonlaser.com/how-does-fractional-co2-laser-treatment-fade-age-spots/

Age spots are one of the common pigment spots. There are many ways to treat age spots, including IPL machines, Q-switched lasers, picosecond lasers, and CO₂ fractional lasers.

Today, let’s talk about how to use fractional CO₂ lasers to fade age spots, and what mode is more suitable?

1. What are age spots?

Age spots are also called seborrheic keratosis. The causes may be related to sun exposure, chronic inflammatory stimulation, etc. They are closely related to premature aging. They are caused by excessive fatigue and excessive damage to brain meridians and cells and appear on the surface. They are prone to occur on the face, back of the hands, chest, back, etc. In the early stage, there are one or more flat papules of light yellow or light brown, with a smooth surface and clear boundaries; in the later stage, they gradually increase, bulge, and thicken, and the color becomes darker, showing dark brown or even black papules or plaques. The surface may show mild papilloma-like hyperplasia, with a slow course and no tendency to heal.

The so-called “age spots”, the medical name is: seborrheic keratosis, which is a benign disease. It is the most common benign epidermal proliferative tumor in the elderly, and the elderly suffer from this damage to a greater or lesser extent.

Seborrheic keratosis is common on the face, back of the hands, chest and back, and can also be seen on other parts of the body such as the limbs. It generally affects the appearance and image. Once encountered, it is difficult to eliminate them with ordinary methods.

2. What is fractional CO2 laser?

Fractal CO2 laser is a gas laser that uses C0₂ gas as a working medium to generate laser; the fractional laser is the output mode of the laser. After focusing the laser of a specific infrared wavelength, the laser forms small irradiation points with intervals through computer control and automated mechanical technology, and normal skin tissue is retained between each irradiation point.

The working principle of CO₂ fractional laser is focal photothermolysis and stimulating regeneration effect. The wavelength is 10600nm, the target color base is water, and it belongs to the category of micro-exfoliation-exfoliation treatment. It has anti-aging and wrinkle removal, treatment of moderate to severe acne, large pores, auxiliary treatment of age spots, freckles, auxiliary treatment of sunken scars and hypertrophic scars, assisting in the treatment of alopecia areata, and enhancing product absorption.

CO2 fractional laser is an ablative fractional laser with a high water absorption coefficient. When the laser acts on the skin, the epidermis quickly generates high temperature and heat, causing the epidermal tissue to quickly heat up and vaporize, resulting in a white frost reaction on the epidermis. Its skin effect is mainly the epidermal-dermal effect, which stimulates collagen regeneration for a long time and has good long-term effects. There is a scab formation period and downtime period of about 5-7 days. If the repair is not in place, it is easy to cause pigmentation and sensitivity.

3. Can fractional CO2 laser treat age spots?

The carbon fractional laser treatment machine uses laser light of a certain wavelength to produce vaporization, coagulation, and thermal effects on the skin. According to the localized photothermal effect, it can stimulate the proliferation and reorganization of collagen, thereby treating age spots.

The treatment method is simple and fast, less painful, has significant curative effect, has little or no bleeding, few adverse reactions such as postoperative infection, and the wound heals quickly and generally leaves no scars.

When treating “age spots”, the operator only targets the parts that can be operated and will not cause damage to the surrounding skin. Before treatment, you only need to apply local anesthetic and wait for 30 minutes. After treatment, the repair effect will be better when combined with a medical mask!

4. Things to know before age spots treatment.

4.1 Make a clear diagnosis.

Middle-aged and elderly people often have a variety of skin tumors similar to age spots on their faces, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and other malignant tumors; Bowen’s disease, solar keratosis and other precancerous lesions. Therefore, when “spots” appear on the face or certain parts of the body, you should go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital. It is important to make a clear diagnosis and obtain a pathological diagnosis if necessary.

4.2 Avoid contraindications.

Middle-aged and elderly people with serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should inform their doctors, who will decide whether to use laser after comprehensively evaluating the risks.

5. Introduction to the method of fractional CO2 laser treatment for fading age spots.

5.1 Introduction to the theory of treatment of age spots.

CO2 fractional laser, with a wavelength of 10600nm, is an ablative fractional laser. Carbon dioxide lasers are generally equipped with two modes, namely, fractional mode and cutting mode. The fractional mode is to form small irradiation points with intervals through computer control and automated mechanical technology, and normal skin tissue (skin bridge) is preserved between each irradiation point. These normal tissues assist the damaged skin tissue in repair and regeneration, and are not prone to persistent erythema and scars. Therefore, its subsequent adverse reactions are less and recovery is faster. The fractional mode can form a large number of tiny heat accumulation areas on the skin, which will cause thermal coagulation of proteins and vaporization of water, shrink and denature dermal collagen, stimulate collagen proliferation, and improve skin problems such as acne, depressed scars, enlarged pores, photoaging, and age spots.

5.2 Principle of CO2 laser cutting mode.

The cutting mode can be used for grinding treatment of warts, moles, and other vegetation, age spots, and hypertrophic scars. The repetitive pulse mode is commonly used for mole removal and wart removal. It is a series of laser pulses with pauses and intervals in between, which is a bit like the sub-pulse light output of IPL. It is easy for novices to control and is not easy to burn the skin. The depth of tissue vaporization and peeling can be controlled. The light output can be stopped by releasing the foot pedal. CO2 laser has automatic hemostasis during the cutting process, with only low tissue carbonization and damage, and few side effects. Some doctors and operators also like to use the ultra-pulse mode to cut vegetation. The ultra-pulse mode refers to an output mode with a pulse width of less than 2ms. It has a very fast vaporization speed, precise range and depth of action, less thermal damage to the skin, and little tissue charring. It cuts the vegetation tissue through rapid vaporization, but due to its fast vaporization and cutting speed, it is difficult for novices to control.

5.3 Detailed treatment methods for treating age spots.

The fractional mode and cutting mode of CO2 laser are both effective in fading age spots. We can choose different treatment modes according to the different stages and forms of age spots. In the early stage of age spots, when they are in the state of flat papules, fractional mode can be used for treatment. The point spacing can be appropriately denser, using a point spacing of 0.6-0.8mm. The single-point energy is slightly higher than that of facial anti-aging, and can be overlapped once. When age spots are already in a state of raised keratinization, the cutting mode can be used first, and the age spots can be cut and ground like pigmented nevi. It can also be combined with the dot matrix mode. First, the part that protrudes from the skin surface is ground flush with the skin using the cutting mode, and then scanned and covered with the dot matrix mode. Strict repair is required after CO2 fractional laser surgery, and type III collagen and growth factors are used to promote the skin to complete epithelialization (epidermal repair) as soon as possible.

6. Postoperative care for laser treatment of age spots.

6.1 Short-term maintenance.

 After laser treatment, scabs will form for 1-2 weeks. Keep dry and avoid drinking during this period, and wait for natural scab detachment.

Try not to get the wound wet and keep it dry for 1 week after surgery.

Apply ointment to promote wound healing and prevent infection. The drug should not be applied too thickly.

6.2 Long-term maintenance.

After the wound scabs, do not remove the scabs.

Pay attention to sun protection. Before the scabs fall off, choose physical sun protection such as umbrellas and hats. After the scabs fall off, you can apply sunscreen (choose products with SPF ≥ 30), and do not expose to the sun.

Strengthen sun protection after scab detachment to minimize the degree of post-inflammatory pigmentation. Generally, pigmentation will appear 1-2 months after treatment, and gradually recover in about half a year.

7. How to choose fractional CO2 laser?

Treating age spots is just one of the many functions of fractional CO2 laser. CO2 fractional laser can also treat various benign superficial skin tumors such as skin growths, flat warts, filiform warts, condyloma acuminatum, seborrheic keratosis, facial xanthoma, etc.; various acne pits, acne marks; various scars (such as trauma scars, burn scars, suture scars); age spots, various pigmented moles, etc. So how do we choose a suitable CO2 laser? As a manufacturer with 9 years of experience in beauty technology training and 20 years of beauty machine manufacturing, Litonlaser can tell you the answer!

7.1 Laser power.

The power of fractional CO2 laser is the most important! Because this determines the size of the energy and the speed of the treatment time. Litonlaser’s CO2 laser power is available in 30 watts, 60 watts and 100 watts. We recommend that for ordinary skin rejuvenation and anti-aging, 30 watts can be used. This is the common power suitable for most novices. If you are a doctor who pursues treatment and wants to cut various skin growths, then we recommend using 60W CO2 laser. This power is relatively strong and requires proficiency in the machine to achieve perfect treatment. It is not recommended for novices. 100-watt CO2 laser belongs to the super proficient level. Generally speaking, it is not needed. It is more inclined to surgical treatment. For ordinary cosmetic treatment, such high power is not required. It is recommended that you need to undergo our special training and use it only after you are sure to master it.

7.2 Type of laser tube.

Our common CO2 fractional laser has two laser tube options, glass tube and radio frequency (RF) tube. These different types of tubes have an impact on the light output and service life of the machine. Under normal circumstances, the service life of the glass tube fractional CO2 laser machine is usually 5 years, but the service life of the RF tube CO2 fractional laser can reach 10 years or even longer. Under normal circumstances, we recommend that if the budget is sufficient, use the RF tube CO2 laser machine, not only the energy is more stable, the light output is more uniform, and the use is longer, but also for safety, the RF tube will be safer.

Acne Scarring Removal Cream

When acne scarring appears, it can be both unsightly and difficult to clear. But fortunately, a number of OTC and dermatologist-recommended products are available to help fade the marks and even prevent new scars from forming.

The right scar treatment will vary for each person. But in general, a scar cream will help stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells over the affected area, which can fill in the scar. The best ones will also contain ingredients that will soothe the skin and help it heal. These include shea butter, rosehip oil, and jojoba oil. If the scar is especially red, look for a product with added anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as licorice extract and aloe vera. Some scars will fade with time, while others will require more long-term care and patience to see results.

To narrow down the selection of scar treatments we considered, Good Housekeeping interviewed multiple dermatologists and reviewed countless online reviews to find the best scar creams for acne scarring removal cream. We also looked for ingredients that are gentle enough to use on your face, and we favored those that were fragrance-free and had no added preservatives. And since most scar creams contain silicone, we made sure to double-check the full list of ingredients and note whether or not the product contains this ingredient.

There are several different types of acne scars, including ice pick scars that create small pointed dents in the skin, rolling scars that make the skin appear uneven, and boxcar scars that leave a wide and deep impression in the skin. The scar creams we selected will be effective for all three of these types, as well as other forms of scarring such as hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory discoloration.

In general, when shopping for a scar cream, the most important thing is to choose one that you’re comfortable using for at least 90 days. “Choose whatever you will be likely to stick with—if it’s easier for you to apply gel that has a roll-on applicator on the body than a thicker cream, go with that," says Dr. Rogers. This will ensure that you will actually use the product consistently, which is key to its effectiveness.

Another important factor to consider is the type of scar you’re dealing with and your skin type. If you’re dealing with atrophic scars—flat dark or red marks that appear flat to the skin—you’ll want to use a cream that includes collagen-building ingredients, such as retinol or peptides. If you’re dealing with PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or discoloration, look for brightening ingredients, such as vitamin C or niacinamide.

While there are plenty of affordable OTC options to treat your acne scars, it’s worth seeing a dermatologist for more serious scarring or any type of skin condition that doesn’t improve with OTC treatments. Your doctor can give you specific recommendations and may recommend more intense or prescription-strength options if necessary. And don’t forget to always read the full ingredients list and double-check for anything you might be sensitive or allergic to, as many scar creams contain additives like alcohol and fragrance.

Our Acne Doctor Australia doctors can prescribe medications your family doctor (GP) can’t prescribe. These special medications are the most effective in clearing stubborn acne. Talk to your GP first before making your appointment with us. Ask them for a referral to Acne Doctors at Teledermatologist.

Best Laser Skin Treatment in Delhi: Top Skin Treatment Clinics to Consider

How Does Laser Skin Treatment Work?

A dermatologist uses a laser to target the skin during a cosmetic procedure called laser skin treatment. The laser removes the outer cells of the dermis, the skin’s second layer, and the epidermis, the skin’s top layer.

The process functions by promoting the development of new skin cells and the synthesis of collagen, the structural protein of the skin. Best Laser Skin Treatment in Delhi can make the skin appear plumper because they stimulate the synthesis of new collagen, which the body can’t produce as we age.

The following conditions may present less prominently after laser skin treatment:

Age spots

Scars, acne-related among them

Wrinkles and fine lines

Warts

Certain kinds of birthmarks

Big pores

Sun-related harm

The Top Skin Treatment clinics in Delhi apply a wide variety of lasers to the skin. The two most popular kinds are erbium lasers, which eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, and carbon dioxide lasers, which remove scars, wrinkles, and warts.

What Outcomes Might one Anticipate from Laser Skin Treatment?

Just after laser skin treatment, the skin may be inflamed and uncomfortable, which may continue for a few days. Additionally, there will be a one-year increase in susceptibility to UV rays. People usually notice, nevertheless, that the skin looks plumper when it grows back. Less obvious are wrinkles, age spots, and poor skin.

The skin could appear more hydrated, softer, or smoother. While laser skin therapy cannot replicate the effects of a facelift, it can enhance the surface of the skin by lessening the appearance of:

Lines

Age-related spots

Illness

Damage

After treatment, the skin’s look can keep getting better for up to a year.

As far as concerns like scars are concerned, the results of laser skin treatment are permanent. A particular scar will never reappear after it is removed.

Who is Eligible for Skin Laser Treatment?

For individuals seeking significant skin surface improvements, laser skin therapy is an excellent option. It isn’t a wise choice for everyone, though. This comprises those who:

Possess a lot of skin or deep wrinkles

Have active herpes; are you taking oral isotretinoin?

Possess skin diseases such as psoriasis or scleroderma

Had a chemical peel recently

Nonetheless, the effects of the outward manifestations of aging are temporary. After treatment, most people remark that their skin looks younger for a few years, but as they age, the signs of aging will reappear.

Conclusion

The method by which Best Laser Skin Treatment in Delhi stimulates the development of new collagen and skin cells is by eliminating the skin’s outer layers. Among other things, it can lessen the visibility of wrinkles, age spots, scars, and sun damage. Like with any cosmetic operation, it’s critical to select a qualified, experienced healthcare provider, request before-and-after images, and learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. When a person uses laser treatment to repair scars, the results can be permanent for most people and last for several years.
