If you’ve ever lived with irritated, inflamed, painful acne, you probably longed for the day that your skin would clear up. But now that day has arrived, and instead of the clear, smooth skin that you dreamed of, you have the pits and uneven texture that comes with having acne scars.

At Desert Med Aesthetic in Palm Springs, we understand how devastating acne scarring can be to someone’s self-confidence. Acne is not an uncommon thing, and it’s for that reason we offer a variety of treatments to reduce the appearance of your scars. Our team of highly trained skincare specialists deliver customized acne scar removal treatment to give you the healthy, glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of.

How To Keep Your Acne From Scarring

Before we jump into how to treat your existing acne scars, it’s important to mention how to prevent scars from forming in the first place. The best thing you can do for your acne is seek a professional dermatologist’s advice on what skincare products you should be using and determine what might be causing your acne. Second, as tempting as it is, try not to pick, pop, or smother the acne. Picking and popping forces harmful bacteria into your skin, resulting in scars every time. Similarly, dousing them in chemicals or at-home remedies can be detrimental to the surrounding, healthy skin.

Treatments for Acne Scars

We at Desert Med Aesthetic know there’s no one-size-fits-all technique or treatment when it comes to skincare. That’s why we offer a wide variety of treatments to help reduce and erase the appearance of acne scarring. Our experienced team provides personalized advice during your consultation. The approaches we offer include:

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are facial treatments that use alpha-hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, retinol, trichloroacetic acid, and other ingredients to deeply exfoliate and resurface your skin. Chemical peels cause the old, dead top layer of your skin to peel away. As that top layer peels away, imperfections such as mild acne scars and discoloration begin to fade.

Laser Skin Treatments

We offer several types of laser skin treatments to reduce the appearance of acne scars, including:

• Fractional Laser Therapy
• Pearl Laser Therapy
• Laser Genesis

Each laser works in slightly different ways. For example, fractional resurfacing exfoliates the top layer of the skin, causing a dramatic peel to remove damaged, old skin while also smoothing and fading scars.

Other types of laser resurfacing combine deep exfoliation with heat-triggered collagen production. These laser treatments attack acne scars from the surface as well as within your skin.

Dermal Fillers

While you might think that dermal fillers are only used to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other results of collagen loss, we also use dermal fillers to raise depressed acne scars. Dermal fillers work to smooth and plump your scars, providing a healthy, beautiful appearance.
