Tiếng ViệtAcne scars are a common dermatological problem that causes many people to feel self-conscious due to their direct impact on aesthetics and confidence in social interactions. When researching acne scar treatments, many people wonder if the treatment is painful and how to care for their skin after treatment to ensure a quick recovery. Let’s explore this in this article from HBIO Clinic!
Is treating acne scars painful?
One of the most common questions when researching acne scar treatments is whether the treatment is painful, how painful it is, and what effects it might have on the skin. In reality, the level of pain during acne scar treatment depends on many factors, such as the technology used, the doctor’s skill, and the skincare procedures at each aesthetic clinic.
Another important factor affecting pain sensation is the use of anesthetics and pain-reducing technologies. Typically, clients will receive topical or injectable anesthetic before treatment to allow time for the medication to penetrate the skin, thereby reducing pain by 60 to 80%.
In addition, some aesthetic clinics also apply cryotherapy, cold compresses, or cold sprays to provide comfort and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
As you can see, treating acne scars is not as painful as many people fear. With the support of modern technology and anesthetics, pain is only mild to moderate and completely controllable. Most importantly, choosing a reputable clinic that uses appropriate technology and has a scientific post-treatment care plan will help you quickly regain smooth, even-toned skin and more confidence in life.
Treatment methods for acne scars at Hbio Clinic
At Hbio Clinic, we offer modern, safe, and highly effective treatments for acne scars. Depending on the severity of the scars, skin condition, and aesthetic needs of each client, our team of doctors will conduct a thorough examination and advise on the most suitable treatment plan. Below are some of the popular acne scar treatments currently offered at Hbio Clinic.
Chemical Peels
The biological skin peeling method at Hbio Clinic uses organic acids such as AHA, BHA, and TCA to remove the old layer of dead skin cells, stimulate the regeneration of new cells, and thus improve the condition of acne scars, blemishes, and dark spots.
This is a minimally invasive, safe, and affordable method, and is especially suitable for clients with mild to moderate acne scars.
Microneedling and dermarolling – Stimulating skin regeneration
Microneedling and dermarolling are two methods that create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating the natural healing mechanism and promoting collagen production. Microneedling penetrates deep into the dermis, providing noticeable results for deep acne scars, while also helping to improve melasma and signs of aging.
Meanwhile, dermarolling only affects the epidermis, is less painful, has a faster recovery time, and is suitable for mild to moderate acne scars. However, the effects of dermarolling are usually slower than those of microneedling.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a technique that uses diamond or crystal tips to remove dead skin cells while stimulating the skin to produce new collagen. This method helps to brighten and smooth the skin surface, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars.
However, to achieve the desired results, clients need to consistently undergo multiple treatments as prescribed by their doctor.
Filler injections – Instantly fill in acne scars
Filler injections offer immediate results for clients wishing to fill in pitted scars in a short time. Biological fillers such as HA, collagen, or autologous fat are injected directly into the depressed areas of the scars, filling and smoothing the skin surface immediately after the procedure. However, the effect only lasts about 4-6 months because the filler will naturally dissolve over time.
This is a quick method but not a long-term solution for pitted scars.
Fractional CO2 Laser – Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Technology
Fractional CO2 laser is an advanced technology for treating pitted scars, using micro-point laser beams to directly target the dermis. The laser energy stimulates skin regeneration, causing pitted scars to fill in naturally over time.
This technology comes in two forms: invasive Fractional CO2 laser, which is highly effective but requires a longer recovery time, and non-invasive laser, which causes less skin damage and is suitable for busy clients who need more treatments to see noticeable results.
Medically approved skincare routine after acne scar treatment
Proper skincare after acne scar treatment is crucial for faster skin recovery, minimizing scar recurrence, and achieving optimal aesthetic results.
Gentle cleansing: Use a mild facial cleanser that is soap-free and fragrance-free. When washing your face, avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the newly treated skin.
Moisturize adequately: Choose a moisturizer with restorative ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide. Apply moisturizer twice daily to keep skin soft, smooth, and healthy.
Protect your skin from the sun: Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, even indoors. Limit direct sun exposure, especially between 10 am and 4 pm, and cover up carefully when going outside.
Support skin recovery: Consider adding a vitamin C serum to brighten skin, retinoids to regenerate cells, or peptides to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and smoother skin.
Avoid irritation: Avoid cosmetics containing alcohol, fragrances, or harsh preservatives. Instead, prioritize gentle products suitable for sensitive skin after treatment.
