When you’re looking in the mirror and notice a single acne pimple standing out,
you may feel like
‘I want to pop this as soon as possible.’
Acne is a skin condition caused by inflammation in the pilosebaceous unit, and one of its characteristics is that it can form a raised “bump” compared to other areas.
In addition, pus caused by inflammation may be visible, and when you press on it by hand, the contents inside may come out, making it feel as though the symptoms have improved.
However, if you are not careful, the skin can suffer various degrees of damage and cause several secondary problems.
It can even lead to long-lasting acne scars.
Acne scars are difficult to recover from naturally, and they can easily worsen due to intense ultraviolet rays.
Today, at an acne hyperpigmentation treatment clinic, I’d like to explain in detail how to prevent and treat acne scars, so please read the following article carefully.

- Treatment methods for dark acne marks

Why do the scars remain even after the acne is gone?
Acne may seem like just a small red bump on the surface of the skin, but inside, pus, inflammation, and bacteria may have penetrated quite deeply.
Because of this, if you squeeze it carelessly, the inflammation can spread inside the skin and the symptoms may worsen.
It may even cause the affected area to become larger.
In addition, if the dermis is damaged during the extraction process and there is a problem with melanin pigment, dark reddish pigmentation may remain.
Furthermore, the more that area is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the more rapidly the degree of pigmentation can worsen.
That is why, rather than trying to extract acne yourself, it is advisable to visit a clinic and receive appropriate treatment.
Acne extraction treatment performed at a dermatology clinic can provide a more stable extraction effect because, after thoroughly cleansing the skin, the pores are opened with hot steam and the comedones inside the skin are carefully removed.
If you would like to know more about acne extraction treatment at a dermatology clinic, please refer to the column attached below.

Treatment for acne scars: Vbeam Perfecta
Acne scars often occur when problems arise in the blood vessels inside the skin during the extraction process.
In such cases, treatment with Vbeam Perfecta, commonly called a vascular laser, may be performed.
Vbeam Perfecta is characterized by its ability to help target blood vessels that are excessively swollen inside the skin.
Through this, you may expect an improvement in red pigmentation located throughout the skin.
In addition, because a laser system is built into the device, it can help protect the skin surface with a cool breeze throughout the procedure.
This can be very helpful in reducing surface skin damage and procedure discomfort.
However, the degree of pain felt varies from person to person, so please keep this in mind as a reference only.

How should dark acne scars be treated?
If the acne has disappeared but a mark remains on the skin like a black dot, it may not be a simple mark but rather a phenomenon caused by acne scars.
Dark acne scars are caused by an overreaction of melanin pigment.
In such cases, picosecond laser treatment may be performed.
A picosecond laser is a treatment method that delivers laser energy in trillionths of a second, and through this, abnormal melanin pigment can be broken down into small pieces and removed.
In addition, because it targets only abnormal melanin pigment, it has the advantage of causing less impact on the surrounding normal skin tissue.
Through this, you may expect the noticeable dark marks to gradually improve.
Furthermore, the MLA mode built into the picosecond laser can also be very helpful in treating indented acne scars.
If you are feeling stressed by pigmentation and indented scars that appeared after acne extraction, picosecond laser treatment may be a good option.

The place where acne once was sometimes remains longer in the mind than on the skin.
But there is no need to live with these marks for the rest of your life.
The laser procedures introduced today are all characterized by the expectation of improvement in acne scars.
However, different treatment methods may be applied depending on the patient’s skin condition and the degree and type of the scars.
In addition, the laser intensity, treatment interval, and number of sessions may also vary slightly.
That is why a careful skin examination should be performed before treatment.
