Countless Americans— men and women, young and old— suffer from devastating facial acne. As if acne wasn’t bad enough, the scars acne leaves behind are a terrible reminder of what many patients have had to deal with on a daily basis. Creams alone aren’t penetrative enough to get to the root of the problem. Makeup allows some coverage, but never fully does the trick. Due to the fact that there are three main types of acne scars, a more comprehensive treatment approach is usually necessary when it comes to treating your acne scars effectively.
What Are The Different Types of Acne Scars?
There are three main types of acne scars: Rolling Acne Scars, Boxcar Acne Scars and Icepick Acne Scars. Rolling acne scars are akin to low, wide hills on your cheeks, forehead and chin. Boxcar acne scars have thick, hard centers that are often white which pull down the skin on your face. Icepick scars are extremely deep and narrow. All of these acne scar types are atrophic, which means that there is a loss of skin volume.
How Can Bellafill Help?
Bellafill is an FDA-approved polymenthylmethacrylate (PMMA) collagen dermal filler that helps correct and moderate severe atrophic facial acne scars. It works in two ways. First, it gives immediate volume below pitted acne scars to lift them to the level of the surrounding skin. Second, the PMMA microspheres create a matrix that supports your body’s own collagen production. Due to this dual benefit, Bellafill is said to give your skin long lasting improvement.
At Precision MD, Dr. Cuber and his Staff will devise a treatment plan for you based on the severity of your acne scars. Often times, Dr. Cuber will recommend using Bellafill in conjunction with other Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments that we have available here at Elk Grove’s Premier Cosmetic Surgery Center in order to help you get the smoothest skin possible.
