Dermal Filler
If you aren’t afraid of needles filling your skin with gel, then a dermal filler is something that could help improve your skin from acne scars.
The injected gel-based treatment into the skin is designed to create volume to your skin because when a person ages, the skin age as well and without proper moisturization, the skin will sag and lose its elasticity.

Other usages of Dermal Fillers
Aside from improving the skin state from acne scars, dermal fillers are also used to improve the following:- Turn your thin lips into a plump one and smooth vertical lines around the edges of the lips
- Smoothen nasolabial folds and other facial creases and wrinkles.
- Cheek augmentation for a much youthful look.
- Reconstruction of contour deformities.
Dermal fillers differ from botox
Dermal fillers are far different from botox as this treatment is only used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and skin folds than stop the muscle movement which causes wrinkles.Profractional Skin Resurfacing
If you aren’t allergic to laser and other hypersensitive treatment, then trying out profractional skin resurfacing would help improve the overall appearance of your skin eliminating acne scars for good. Through this procedure the affected area will only be treated through the targeted laser treatment.
How it works?
Through the microscopic treatment of the affected area, surrounding areas are left unharmed.The laser will dive deep into the dermis targeting the only the affected microscopic areas and leaving healthy cell unharmed. The treated areas will then produce natural collagen to stimulate the skin resulting to tighten skin and normalized pigmentation.
Other usages of Profractional Skin Resurfacing
- Aside from treating acne scars, it can also treat the following:
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Severe facial creases and wrinkles
- Poor skin texture and aging skin
- Enlarged pores
TCA Cross
If laser treatment is no longer the best solution to your acne scars then opting to a chemical peel might be the best choice for you.
TCA CROSS is an acronym, wherein TCA means Tricholoroacetic acid and CROSS means Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars which is a procedure that uses high concentration of TCA to denature the proteins in the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production thus resulting to skin thickening and improved skin state.
This technique was first studied by Koreans wherein it specifically treats atrophic (indented) acne scars.
TCA CROSS is effective on the following type of scars:
- Ice pick scars
- Deep boxcar scars
- Deep rolling scars
- Atrophic and Mixed Acne Scars
- Enlarged Pores
TCA CROSS difference from Full Face Chemical Peeling
Applying superficial peeling on the entire face might not be the best solution to your problem as well as it is impractical. It is recommended to the only target affected areas which only treat selected deep scars and avoid unnecessary peeling to healthy cells.The following listed treatments are only defined to inform but not necessarily mean to dive into the procedure already. As different skin type needs different treatment, best to consult a licensed skin doctor and have the right treatment for your condition.
