Severe acne scars can feel like an ongoing battle between you and your skin. But that doesn’t mean you have to be at odds with them forever! While lasers can zap away some scarring, they sometimes do more harm than good! That’s why Indian Hills Plastic Surgery is proud to provide noninvasive alternatives to laser treatments for acne scars in Tuscaloosa! Here’s what lasers can do to your skin and how you can benefit from our options:
What Lasers Do
To illustrate the very real downsides of shooting lasers into your skin, it’s time for a quick science lesson. A typical laser treatment for acne scars in Tuscaloosa works to remove the top layer of your skin using a high-intensity refracted laser.
It’s extremely important to vet your laser specialist. These lasers damage the top layer of your skin, and can cause a lot of problems if not used correctly. This is why our office recommends effective, noninvasive solutions.
Shedding Light on Other Options
Dr. Chelsea Wallace has carefully curated an array of treatments to address acne scars of all shapes and sizes. In your consultation, we’ll look into your concerns and conditions to determine the right treatments for you. Let’s take a look at the benefits of our alternatives to laser treatments for acne scars in Tuscaloosa!
Heal
We’ve helped hundreds of patients ride the SUPERB waves with Sofwave for acne scars. Unlike lasers, Sofwave utilizes Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beams (SUPERB™), as well as an integrated cooling mechanism, Sofcool™, to keep your skin cool throughout every treatment.
This highly concentrated energy improves collagen production and circulation where your skin needs it most. Our specialists highly recommend this treatment because it’s one of the least painful options available.
Rejuvenate
To erase the root causes of your skin concerns, we recommend SkinPen microneedling. Our revolutionary microneedling technology rejuvenates your skin by jumpstarting your body’s natural healing processes.
This minimally invasive technique uses microscopic needles to create microchannels throughout your skin. Your body’s natural response will then heal those microchannels with smooth, collagen-rich cells. This remodels the look of skin affected by acne scars without any heat, chemicals, or downtime!
Erase
With the help of Sofwave and Skinpen, severe acne scars will likely disappear in a matter of weeks or months. However, not every case is severe! For mild cases of acne scars, we recommend injectables like Botox, Sculptra, and dermal fillers. These help to smooth out small indentations while saving time and money! These are some of our most popular and flexible alternatives to laser acne treatments in Tuscaloosa!
