Acne Scarring
You no longer need to live with Acne scarring. Thankfully, advances in lasers now provide a relatively pain free solution with minimal downtime. Here at Flawless Body we extensively researched the market to bring the best treatment currently available on the market to reduce acne scarring.
What is the most effective treatment?
The best treatment for most clients is the Fractional CO2 Laser. It is one of the latest advances in non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments. The new “fractional” technology treats only a portion of the skin, leaving healthy intact skin surrounding the treatment area. This allows for fast healing and very safe treatments for all skin types and relatively painless.
How does it work?
The Fractional CO2 Laser makes small microscopic holes in the deeper layers of the skin. This process leads to the generation of new, healthy collagen to smooth out the acne scars.
Improvement in acne scars can be seen in as early as one week following the Fractional CO2 laser treatment. The number of treatments required really depends on the severity of your scarring. Improvements in acne scarring will continue for up to 6 months following your course of treatment.
What areas can be treated?
In the majority of case the face tends to be the most common area that is treated as it is the most visible – however we can treat most areas and we can discuss this during the consultation.
What results can I expect?
Results vary depending upon the individual and the area treated. We will discuss this at the initial consultation with you.
