Acne & Acne Scars

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil. While it is most common among teenagers, it can affect people of all ages and appear on almost any area of the body.

What our clients say

During my visit to Elite Aesthetics & Wellness, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff who walked me through every step of the process before getting started since it was my first time. My treatment was so relaxing and enjoyable. I fell asleep because it was such a gentle feeling and I felt so comfortable. When we finished, I couldn’t believe how incredible my skin looked. Clear, plump and youthful. The perfect treatment as I was headed to a celebration for my birthday that same evening. I would highly encourage any of my family or friends to do a treatment with this amazing team. They are trustworthy, professional, warm and produce top-notch results.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars occur when a blemish is inflamed and the skin pore is full of dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria. The pore swells and breaks the follicular wall. While shallow acne lesions usually heal quickly and on their own, deeper breaks in the pore wall can lead to deeper lesions. The skin will try to repair these with the formation of new collagen, resulting in acne scarring. 

Overall, there are a variety of different acne scars, including the following:

Boxcar scars:

Broad, box-like scars with sharply defined edges. They are most commonly caused by widespread acne or chickenpox and are usually seen on areas like the jaw and lower cheeks.

Ice pick scars:

Are smaller, narrower scars that dip into the skin’s surface. These scars are most commonly seen on the cheeks.

Rolling scars:

Have varying depth and sloping edges that make the skin appear uneven.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology to trigger collagen and elastin production, softening the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenating your overall complexion.

Lumecca IPL

Lumecca is a non-invasive intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment to effectively diminish the appearance of pigmented and vascular lesions. It can also eliminate the stubborn red or dark marks left behind following an acne breakout. Plus, unlike other IPL treatments, Lumecca delivers up to 3X more energy for more effective diminishment of pigmentation for the best possible results.

VI Chemical Peel

A VI peel is a medium-depth chemical peel used to treat signs of aging, correct pigmentation issues, and improve overall skin texture. Created with a combination of retinol, acids, vitamins, and minerals, it aims to treat specific skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne and acne scarring, and more. Similarly, to other chemical peels, the VI peel works by exfoliating the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells, and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to improve signs of skin aging. At our office, we also offer VI Peel Purify Precision Plus, which is specifically created to address acne and acne scarring for a smoother, more even complexion.
