Personalised and effective laser treatments for acne scar removal

Acne scars are often a very distressing condition for many because it changes the appearance of a person’s face and, in severe cases, often affects the self-esteem of those afflicted.

In the past, not much was known about the available options for acne scar removal treatment in Singapore.

But in recent times, advances in technology have yielded excellent acne scar removal results for acne laser treatments in Singapore.

With more than 10 years of experience and having done his Masters in Dermatology from the prestigious St John’s institute of Dermatology, UK, Singapore aesthetic doctor, Dr Ho Rui Ming is knowledgeable in acne scar removal procedures and can help to restore your skin as much as possible to its original condition.

“Every scar in itself is different and unique.. and as such, different treatments and techniques will be required to treat each individual scar type…” – Dr Ho Rui Ming

As a clinic specializing in Acne Scars, our full range of Acne Scar Treatments is able to treat all kinds of Scars; raised and red, flat, pigmented or depressed.

 

There are 4 main variants of atrophic acne scars:

ice pick scar

Ice pick scars

Small entry point with sharp steep edges; like an inverted triangle

box car scar

Box car scars

Wider base, sharply demarcated edges; like a box

rolling scar

Rolling scars

Wide base, rounded edges

hypertrophic scar

Hypertrophic scars

Raised scars

Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars are formed due to damage to the skin from active Acne or pimple.  Inflammation from Acne injures and damages the skin and during the healing process, normal skin cells are replaced by scar cells which results in the formation of scars (be it depressed or hypertrophic).  

Typically, deep seated and prolonged inflammation from Acne or pimple carries a higher risk of Acne Scar formation, therefore, it is paramount to treat active Acne as soon as possible. 

 Is there a “one-size fits all” treatment for Acne Scars ?

Unfortunately, there is no treatment that can treat all the different types of Acne Scars.  There are many different types of acne scar treatments available and each type of pimple scar removal may be applicable to some but not others.  As such, a consultation with an Acne Scar specialist to decide the most appropriate treatment for EACH type of acne scars is much advised so as to yield optimal results in the quickest possible time.

Don’t let these acne scars ruin your confidence. It is possible to reduce the appearance of these scars. Start early by booking a consultation with Dr Ho to determine which treatment will be most suitable for your specific needs. In certain cases, Dr Ho may recommend a combination of laser treatments for acne scars and other methods to achieve the best results.

micro needle radiofrequency

For deeper / rolling scars, a more intense Micro-Needle Radiofrequency treatment can be used. This method of treatment is unique and highly effective for stubborn/ deep acne scars.

Gold-plated ultra-fine needles first smoothly penetrate the deep acne scars before emitting Radiofrequency energy to break up the scar tissue and stimulate collagen.

It is a great treatment for deep acne scars that requires deeper penetration of energy and a more intense approach.

Despite being more intensive, downtime is actually still kept to a MINIMAL!

 

What is the procedure like?

Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort before the commencement of the procedure. It is a comfortable procedure that takes around 45 mins.

 

What can I expect after the procedure?

After the procedure, some redness is to be expected but will improve over the next few days. Usually only a residual pinkish redness is seen after a few days.

 

How often can this procedure be performed?

Microneedle Radiofrequency can be performed every 4 – 6 weeks.

 

How many sessions would I require?

You may already see results after the 1st session! However, subsequent sessions may be required to improve the results even more.

If you have had previous treatments done and feel that your acne scars are at a plateau, then this might be the treatment for you!

TCA cross

This is a technique where by very high concentration TCA acid is carefully applied to individual acne scars to “fill” up the depression and make the acne scar less depressed.This technique is especially useful in Ice-pick scars and some Box-car scars.

The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the acne scars.

The concentration of acid used in this technique is very high and as such should only be administered by a medical professional to ensure maximum safety.

Treatment duration : 20-30 minutes

fillers
In certain cases, fillers can be used to fill up depressed scars to smoothen out the skin surface.

Numbing cream is first applied to the entry point of the area that is to be filled, and then the filler is administered via the entry point to raise the depressed scar.

The advantages of fillers are that effects are seen immediately, and MINIMAL to NO downtime is required.

Treatment duration : 15-20 minutes

subscision
This is a method whereby the scar tissue is manually released by using a needle to loosen the scar tissue beneath the skin. This method is sometimes essential in treating certain scar types and is commonly used in combination with other treatment modalities. The most appropriate combination will be advised by Dr Ho Rui Ming.

Subscision may look simple but it is a manual method that really requires good technique. When done correctly, it can yield effective results so be sure to seek a medical professional for this treatment.

 

How is the procedure performed?

First, an anaesthetic is administered to the area that is to be treated to ensure maximum comfort. Then, the scar is released by loosening the scar tissue beneath it via a needle.

The process takes around 30 mins, is comfortable and there is minimal downtime.

 

Is it painful?

This procedure may look and sound scary, but we have had customers actually fall asleep during this procedure! It is definitely a comfortable procedure.

How many sessions will I require?

 

How many sessions will I require?

It can range from just 1 session to 3 or more sessions.

Treatment duration : 30 minutes

Venus Viva machine
The Venus Viva is a Radiofrequency (RF) machine that utilises its Nanotechnology to effectively treat different scars with MINIMAL downtime as compared to the CO2 or Erbium laser treatment.

Multiple columns of RF energy are emitted into the scars to break the scar tissue up AND stimulate new collagen. This effectively evens out the scars and improves the texture of the scarred areas.Treatment is quick (about 30mins) and comfortable!

Some redness is to be expected for a few days but subsequently only a pinkish-redness will be seen.

A topical anaesthetic cream will first be applied to ensure comfort throughout the process. The Venus Viva RF probe will then be used to create micro-columns of heat within the layers of the skin. Some redness is expected but will subside, and once healed, the skin will have a more even and a smoother texture. Additionally, there is also a firming effect due to collagen remodelling. Treatment duration : 20-30 minutes
