Acne Scar Treatments
Private Dr. Arslan Polyclinic
Private Dr. Arslan Polyclinic has been serving patients for many years in one of Nişantaşı’s most prestigious locations, Abdi İpekçi Street, with extensive experience and a distinguished patient portfolio. Acne and acne scar treatments are individually planned by Dermatologist Dr. Onur Gündoğdu using advanced technology devices and scientific protocols according to skin structure and scar type. Our goal in acne scar treatment is not only to reduce the appearance of scars but also to restructure the skin tissue to achieve smoother, healthier, and more balanced skin.
Acne Scar Treatments
What Are Acne and Acne Scars? How Do They Form?
Acne is a chronic skin condition that develops due to inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Although it is most commonly seen during adolescence, it can also occur in adulthood. Medically known as acne vulgaris, it may appear in various clinical forms such as blackheads, whiteheads (comedones), inflamed pimples, and deep nodules. Increased sebum production, clogged pores, bacterial proliferation, and inflammation all play a role in acne formation. Pimples that are not properly treated or are squeezed unconsciously may eventually lead to the development of acne scars.
What Are the Types of Acne Scars?
Acne scars refer to permanent tissue changes that occur in the skin after the active acne process. Not all acne scars have the same structure; some appear depressed, some raised, and others may only present as changes in skin color. Therefore, if acne scar types are not correctly identified, the treatment applied may be insufficient or ineffective. The type, depth, and extent of the scar form the basis of the treatment plan.
Acne Scar Treatment Options
Acne scars are not only an aesthetic concern but also represent structural damage to the skin tissue. For this reason, acne scar treatments aim to regulate collagen production and repair the integrity of the skin rather than simply lighten pigmentation. Thanks to modern technologies, there are many effective treatment options available today for both depressed and raised acne scars.
Pigmentation Treatment with Q-Switch Laser
Q-Switch laser pigmentation treatment is a modern and targeted medical aesthetic procedure designed to reduce the appearance of pigmentation concerns on the skin. Q-Switch laser technology focuses on breaking down pigments in the skin using high-energy, short pulses, making it an effective approach particularly for sun spots, freckles, and post-acne discoloration. This method stands out for its ability to target underlying pigment accumulation while having minimal impact on the skin surface.
Golden Needle Radiofrequency for Acne Scar Treatment
Golden needle radiofrequency treatment is a modern and effective method designed to restructure the skin tissue, particularly for depressed acne scars. In this system, controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered to the dermis layer through micro-needles. The heat energy generated stimulates collagen and elastin production, initiating a tightening and regeneration process in the skin. As a result, the appearance of acne scars becomes smoother and more balanced over time.
Subcision for Acne Scar Treatment
Subcision is a surgical dermatological technique particularly effective for rolling-type acne scars. The aim of this method is to release the fibrotic bands that pull the skin surface downward, thereby reducing the depressed appearance. When acne scars form, fibrous connective tissue bands beneath the skin hold the surface down, creating a wavy and uneven appearance. The subcision procedure carefully cuts these bands, allowing the skin to elevate naturally.
Chemical Peeling for Acne Scar Treatment
Chemical peeling for acne scar treatment is an effective dermatological procedure that initiates the skin’s renewal process by controlled exfoliation of the skin surface. It is commonly preferred for superficial and moderate-depth acne scars to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of mild depressions. With the help of chemical solutions, the epidermis and sometimes the upper dermis layers are renewed in a controlled manner, resulting in smoother and more vibrant skin.
PRP and Mesotherapy for Acne Scar Treatment
PRP and mesotherapy for acne scar treatment are regenerative approaches aimed at increasing collagen production by activating the skin’s natural repair capacity. They are particularly preferred for depressed acne scars to support skin tissue regeneration. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) involves injecting platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood into the skin. Mesotherapy involves delivering special formulations containing vitamins, amino acids, and growth factors into the dermis layer.
