Are your scars very severe? Are they deep & pigmented? Do you want to know the most effective laser treatment for acne scars? Do you want to know which are the safe & effective light laser & energy-based treatments that can treat these scars?
There are two types of lasers that are used in laser treatments – ablative or invasive lasers & non-ablative or non-invasive lasers.
Non-ablative lasers are used more for mild scars. Ablative lasers are not used much for mild scars. There are 3-4 commonly used laser treatments that are used for moderate to severe scars – like 10600 nm CO2 laser or Fractional CO2 laser, 2940 nm Erbium YAG Laser or Fractional Erbium YAG Laser, Microneedle Radiofrequency or MNRF, & 1550 Fractional Erbium Glass Laser. Out of these, CO2 laser & Erbium YAG laser are ablative lasers. These lasers vaporize scar tissue & stimulate collagen production & regenerate skin in the place of scar tissue.
Ablative lasers are definitely effective, but this can cause prolonged erythema or skin redness. They may also cause pigmentation, that is why they must be used carefully. 1550 Erbium glass laser & MNRF are non-ablative lasers. These treat your scars without damaging the epidermal layer of your skin. So let’s discuss how these lasers treat your scars.
Procedures like CO2 laser resurfacing have been used for many years in western countries on fair skin. Now the fractional CO2 laser that is less ablative can be used for Asian skin. This laser is considered the gold standard for acne scar treatments. Fractional CO2 is also used for rolling scars, boxcar scars, icepick scars & mixed scars.
This laser creates micro ablative channels in the epidermis & dermis. This initiates the wound healing cascade, starts collagen production & starts improving signs of aging, open pores along with the scars. This procedure when combined with PRP shows even better results.
There may be some redness, swelling & scabbing after the treatment which will reduce in 6-8 days. It is absolutely essential to use strict photoprotection, that is sunscreen after the treatment. Those people that have slightly brown skin like Indians have a higher chance of getting PIH. That is why they should take care while getting the procedure done.
1550nm Erbium glass laser: This is a non-ablative laser, which means that it does not damage your skin. This laser is used to treat rolling or mixed scars in darker skin tones. It also improves the active acne, fine lines & wrinkles on the hands, neck & chest.
Erbium glass laser is a color-blind laser, which means that this laser is used for all skin tones. Erbium glass lasers cause minimal damage to the tissue surrounding the scars. The energy from this laser produces collagen, rejuvenates skin & improves scars.
That is why this method is very useful. It has minimal side effects as well. There may be swelling or redness immediately after the treatment but cold compresses & medication reduce the swelling in 2-4 days.
It is important to use strict photoprotection after the treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation & skin darkening. It is necessary to use a broad spectrum, SPF30 sunscreen properly.
Microneedling Radio Frequency (MNRF): This is used to treat deep scars, boxcar scars & atrophic rolling scars. In this procedure, microneedles enter the skin systematically & smoothly. These needles emit radiofrequency energy or RF energy in the deeper layers of the skin, this protects the epidermis from damage. This starts the wound healing process, increases fibroblast activity & collagen production.
The new tissues come from the lower layers to the upper layers. There may be minor discomfort after the procedure. Mild swelling or redness may occur which usually reduces after an hour. It takes 3-5 days to fully recover from the procedure. This procedure is effective because it is a color-blind technology, which means it can be used for any skin color. This treatment minimizes epidermal damage & reduces pain, also done on a small part of the skin as well. This procedure improves the overall texture of the skin & controls post-acne redness.
