Skin care is very important for maintaining one’s youthful and healthy appearance. The skin is the body’s largest and most visible organ. For people with flawless skin, it can be a source of pride. But for many others, the appearance of the skin can be a source of distress instead. Acne, fine lines and wrinkles, melasma, scarring, and other common skin concerns can make it difficult to live the full, comfortable, and confident life we deserve.
Acne Scar Improvement
Until somewhat recently, there were limited skin care treatments available for improving acne scars. Many past treatments posed serious risks such as permanent scarring or hyper- and hypopigmentation (uneven darkening or lightening of the skin). Today, however, the available treatment options are safer and more effective than ever.
Dr. Shah has found Medical Roll CIT to be a very successful, safe solution for improving acne scarring using collagen deposition. MRC is performed in the office setting at Dr. Shah’s Chicago office. There is approximately one week of downtime required and results can be seen as early as two weeks.
Other skin care treatments for acne scarring include CROSS (chemical reconstruction of skin scars), dermabrasion, subcision, laser resurfacing, Botox, and fillers. There is no single treatment that will work the best for every person. Dr. Shah can discuss the pros and cons of each method and recommend an individualized treatment plan to improve your acne scars.
