Acne Scar Treatment

At Nishimula Spa, we offer a range of treatments that can help reduce the appearance of different types of acne scars. These include depressed (atrophic) scars, raised (hypertrophic or keloid) scars, and pigmented scars. The specific treatment approach used will depend on the type and severity of the scarring and the individual’s skin type and condition.

The number of sessions required for acne scar treatment varies depending on the severity of the scarring and the chosen treatment plan. For example, some treatments like microdermabrasion or light therapy may require multiple sessions to see noticeable results. In contrast, more invasive treatments like laser therapy or microneedling may require fewer sessions. Our professionals at Nishimula Spa will assess the individual’s skin and provide a personalized treatment plan that includes the number of sessions needed.

The level of pain experienced during acne scar treatment depends on the type of treatment used. Some treatments, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, may cause slight discomfort or a mild burning sensation. However, the skincare professional will take steps to ensure the individual is as comfortable as possible during the treatment. This may include applying a numbing cream before the treatment or using cooling techniques during the treatment.

While acne scar treatment is generally safe, there may be some side effects or risks associated with certain treatments. These can include redness, swelling, bruising, or infection. The skincare professional at Nishimula Spa will discuss any potential risks before starting the treatment and provide instructions on how to minimize the risk of side effects.

Acne scar treatment can be combined with other skincare treatments, depending on the individual’s needs and goals. For example, some individuals may benefit from combining laser therapy with dermal fillers or microneedling to achieve the desired results. The skincare professional at Nishimula Spa can recommend a combination of treatments to achieve the desired results.

Good candidates for acne scar treatment include individuals with mild to severe acne scarring who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the treatment. The skincare professional will assess the individual’s skin and provide recommendations based on their skin type, condition, and the severity of their scarring. It’s important to note that some treatments may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities.

The skincare professional at Nishimula Spa will provide instructions on how to prepare for the chosen treatment. Some general tips may include avoiding sun exposure for a few weeks before the treatment, avoiding certain skincare products or medications, and staying hydrated. The skincare professional may also recommend using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer in the days leading up to the treatment to prepare the skin.
