Laser skin treatment for

Acne Scarring

 
 

What is acne scarring?

Acne scarring is the result of inflammation of acne blemishes. The acne pore swells and a breakdown occurs in the wall of the pore. Often times acne blemishes are small and the scars created are shallow and heal quickly. In more severe cases blemishes spill into the surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars

How the treatment works

ICON® is an excellent treatment for acne scarring by stimulating the production of collagen in the skin and restoring suppleness and elasticity. Treatments carried out using the ICON obtains significant results on the colour, texture and the cutaneous tension. The ICON works deeply in the dermis without the risk of skin burns and the efficiency is maximum on the production of elastic fibers.

The thermal action of the laser causes an inflammatory reaction that promotes the production of collagen and elastin by the body. Texture, colour and skin tension are achieved. The laser focuses on the superficial and middle dermis while preserving the epidermis by a cooling system. This prevents lasting redness and discolouration which is often seen in chemical peels to achieve the same result.
