Laser Resurfacing with Fractional Laser Therapy for Acne Scar Removal

The essence of fractional laser therapy is that only selected areas of the damaged skin are treated with the ablative laser light beam.

Ablative laser skin resurfacing is a process where the upper layers of damaged skin are vaporized by applying a controlled laser beam. The resulting healing and restructuring of the skin is believed to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Laser resurfacing (a.k.a. laser peeling) is one of the most popular invasive procedures in cosmetic surgery. Claims of the benefits of laser resurfacing for acne scar removal or rejuvenation of the skin, depending on the source, range from remarkable to minimal. The dangers of laser skin resurfacing -- again, depending the source -- range from relatively minor and infrequent to rather significant. The situation is very confusing to a person trying to decide whether to go ahead with laser resurfacing and, if yes, how to best proceed.

According to interested sources the area treated for removal of acne scars rapidly recovers with newer skin and healthy tissue. When therapy is done in fractions, this allows the skin to rapidly recover with little downtime. Further the side effects with this type of therapy are less and complications are very rare. In most cases, the old damaged skin is replaced by the new skin within a few days. Because fractional laser therapy only treats part of the skin, additional therapy is required to treat the entire skin surface. Most individuals require anywhere from 4-6 sessions to treat the damaged skin. The results of fractional laser skin resurfacing are not immediate but evidence of a smoother and tighter skin will be evident after 2 -3 sessions.

Benefits

Most research studies agree that properly performed laser resurfacing can visibly reduce the appearance of acne scars and, in some cases, deep wrinkles. It is used either on the entire face, or, more commonly, in the areas afected by acne scars or around the eyes and mouth. Some surgeons combine laser resurfacing with other procedures to produce maximal effect. The advantages of laser over other resurfacing methods (deeps chemical peels and dermabrasion) include greater precision, less bleeding and discomfort and, possibly, shorter recovery time.

The results of laser resurfacing are particularly noticeable after the initial healing and for about a year thereafter. According to different sources, the results generally last from one to five years. (The results of lower eyelid resurfacing tend to be less lasting - one to two years). Maintenance treatment with topical agents may prolong beneficial effects of laser resurfacing on the skin appearance. Generally, superficial acne scars and wrinkles that are solely due to skin aging respond better than deep ice-pick acne scars or wrinkles due to facial movement, such as smiling, frowning or squinting. Even if successfully removed, movement wrinkles tend to recur relatively quickly.

It appears that the results of laser resurfacing vary greately, depending on the technique, skill of the surgeon and patients unique physiology. Some people experience results exceeding their expectations, while others see little benefit, or even have negative reactions.

Risk

Whether you call it a laser peel or resurfacing, it is still an invasive surgical procedure where top layers of your skin are vaporized by a laser-generated energy burst.

In most cases the damage is well controlled and the recovery is smooth. Possible adverse reactions include additional or excessive scarring, infection, loss of normal skin pigmentation, skin redness and dryness, and others. When the procedure is performed skillfully and the patient and technique are properly selected, side effects are relatively infrequent. If you opt to undergo a laser peel, it is critical to find a board-certified physician with extensive hands-on experience in this procedure.

Keep in mind that due to variations in individual physiology, adverse reactions can occur even if you are treated by a highly skilled professional. In particular, people with darker skin are more likely to develop uneven pigmentation whereas people who were on accutane (a common acne treatment that has the side effect of thinning the skin) or those with certain connective tissue disorders are more prone to scarring. Various inflammatory skin conditions also increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Also, laser peels can activate herpes virus and possibly other dormant pathogens. In most cases, a patient is given an oral antiviral drug and sometimes antibiotics before and after the procedure.

It may be prudent to perform a test patch (a small test treatment), particularly in people with darker skin pigmentation to assess the risk of skin discoloration and other side effects.

Laser techniques

There is a considerable variety in the equipment and treatment techniques user for laser resurfacing. The two most common lasers for acne scars and for wrinkle removal are carbon dioxide and erbium:YAG lasers. Carbon dioxide laser appears to be somewhat more effective for treating acne scars and deep wrinkles but has longer recovery time and tends to cause greater adverse reactions. Some surgeons use both carbon dioxide and erbium:YAG lasers in the same procedure: erbium laser for acne scarring and fine lines and small wrinkles and carbon dioxide laser for deeper acne scar removal and depper wrinkles. Such an approach may provide the best risk-to-benefit ratio.

Another important technical aspect is the number of passes the surgeon makes when treating skin with a laser. Multiple passes, particularly with carbon dioxide laser, produce greater thermal injury and lead to greater side effects and longer recovery. Some surgeons assume that more passes results in a greater reduction of scars or wrinkles. However, research indicates that the benefit from additional passes may be small whereas additional risk is substantial. Some surgeons use a combination protocal where problem areas (around eyes, mouth and on the foreehad) are first treated with one pass of carbon dioxide laser and then with one or more passes of less injurious erbium laser. The rest of the face may be treated with one pass of erbium laser.

Limitations

No mater what equipment or techniques is used, laser resurfacing rarely removes or markedly reduces acne scars or deep wrinkles or facial sag. If wrinkles are movement related, Botox (botulinum toxin) injections are likely to be both safer and more effective. Another alternative for deep wrinkles, whether related to movement or not, are wrinkle fillers, such as Restylane. Facelift remains the procedure of choice to correct marked facial sag.

Bioactive Ingredients in BIOSKINCARE ™ work to reduce acne scars and wrinkles and relieve the side effects of laser resurfacing when applied to the skin after such invasive procedures by:

● Enzyme digestion or dissolution of damaged tissues and all forms of acne scars

● Using the amino acid components of the digested tissues to promote new cellular growth in the affected area

● Improving communication between cells during inflammatory responses and antioxidants to save healthy tissues and prevent scars

● Triggering the regeneration of connective tissues like collagen and elastin. This rejuvenates skin and eliminates acne scarring problems

BIOSKINCARE™ works for acne scar removal by:

• Digesting damaged tissues with biological enzymes and release their amino acid components. The amino acids are vital in the renewal of the damaged site with flawless skin ingredients. When you eliminate the dead cells and scarring, you will lessen the red appearance of acne scars.
• Fusing with skin cells and renewing the remodeling capability of skin affected by acne scars
• Promoting fibroblast synthesis. Fibroblasts proliferation gives rise to new collagen and elastin fibers which are the most basic of all skin ingredients. This is a vital action in wound healing and it the only way to treat acne scarring.
• Improving the production of natural antimicrobial peptides. Bacteria and microbes breed on the skin and infect healthy skin cells, giving acne scars that reddish hue and ice pick like appearance. Killing the bacteria and microbes before they have the opportunity to infect cells is a way of preventing acne scars before the fact.

With the use of BIOSKINCARE™ Cream as an acne scar removal, acne scars are gently digested or dissolved and eventually completely eliminated. It s also recommended for use after laser resurfacing for wrinkles and as a wrinkle cream

I love your product! I use it for acne scarring and it is working. I find myself using about a 50 gram jar every 2 weeks, which be a lot, but it works better for me. I had laser surgery last year for the scars, but there was no improvement in the scars so I have been desperate to find something........anything that would work, and believe me I have tried it ALL and nothing worked until now! Thank you so much for your product. YVETTE M. OHIO, USA.
