Acne scars can leave lasting marks on one's skin and self-esteem, but advanced treatments offer new hope for smoother, more youthful skin. At the Kirei Clinic in Leeds we have devised a treatment protocol with some cutting-edge methods for addressing acne scarring, including Polynucleotides (PN), Subcision, TCA Cross (Trichloroacetic Acid Cross), and Radiofrequency Microneedling.

 

Polynucleotides (PN) for Acne Scarring:

Polynucleotides, often referred to as PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), are used to improve scar tissues. PDRN is derived from salmon DNA and possesses tissue repair and regeneration properties. When injected into the skin, it promotes collagen production and accelerates the healing process. PDRN's ability to stimulate fibroblasts and enhance tissue repair makes it a valuable tool in improving the texture and appearance of acne scars.

 

Subcision for Acne Scarring:

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that targets rolling and tethered acne scars. During subcision, a small cannula is used to break the fibrous bands that pull the scarred skin downward. This release allows the depressed scar tissue to rise and blend more evenly with the surrounding skin. Subcision is often performed in conjunction with other treatments, such as dermal fillers, to further enhance the results.

 

TCA Cross (Trichloroacetic Acid Cross) for Acne Scarring:

TCA Cross is a specialised technique used to treat icepick and boxcar acne scars. It involves the precise application of high-concentration trichloroacetic acid to the base of each scar. This chemical reaction stimulates collagen formation and remodels scar tissue from within. Over time, TCA Cross leads to smoother and less noticeable acne scars. It's a highly effective method for targeting specific types of scars and achieving significant improvement in texture.

 

Radiofrequency Microneedling for Acne Scarring:

Radiofrequency Microneedling combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to address both superficial and deep acne scars. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while the radiofrequency energy heats the tissue, stimulating collagen production. This dual-action approach promotes skin remodelling and leads to smoother, firmer skin. Radiofrequency Microneedling is versatile and can be tailored to the depth and type of scars, making it an effective solution for various acne scar types.
