acne scar treatment

Acne scar treatment

Severe acne can leave scars on your skin. Some scars go away with time, but some can damage skin a lot. Acne scar treatment is a safe and effective technique to reduce the scarring and get an even skin.

Alovia clinic provides treatments for all types of acne scars. Reach out to us to understand what line of treatment suits you.

Acne is a skin condition caused by clogged follicles. The sebum (oil), dirt, dead skin can clog the pores resulting in acne. If not managed well, it can leave ugly, sometimes permanent, scars on the skin.

The most common scars are

  • Icepick scars: Narrow, V-Shaped deep scars
  • Boxcar scars: Wide U-Shaped sharp-edged scars
  • Rolling scars: Wide depressions with sloping edge
  • Atrophic scars: Flat and thin scars
  • Hypertrophic scars: Thick lumpy scars, mostly on the back
  • Dark Spots

Mild scars fade over a period of time, but the deep ones need to be treated for even and radiant-looking skin

It is a good idea to manage your acne first so that any new flare-up does not leave behind more scars. Once the acne is treated, the scar treatment can commence.

Acne scar treatment involves

  • Topical application products
  • In-clinic procedures like chemical peeling, dermabrasion, etc. This works best for the depressed, but not deep scars.
  • Laser treatment works for all types of scars
  • Advanced treatments like derma fillers which work best for depressed and deep scars

These treatments significantly reduce the visibility of the scar giving an even look to your skin. At Alovia clinic we have the right expertise to conduct all types of acne scar treatments.

botox fillers

Botox & fillers

Botox/fillers are a minimally invasive , non-surgical way to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and on the forehead. It can be done under the care of an expert dermatologist. The entire procedure takes hardly a few minutes and then you can move on to your chores without any down time.

Get rid of your wrinkles with our Botox and filler treatments. Meet our team to understand all about this treatment which can make you look years younger.

Botox and dermal fillers are minimally invasive procedures that are conducted by skin specialists. People tend to mix these two terms, however, they are different in the way they work.

Botox works on wrinkle lines. It contains botulinum toxin or neurotoxin which freezes the muscles of the injected area by stopping the nerve signal. Without this signal the wrinkles may soften and reduce and in some cases, they may vanish too. It is not a permanent wrinkle removal treatment and needs to be repeated.

Dermal fillers render volume and fullness to the areas where they are injected. Different types of fillers are used for different target treatments. Depending on the type of filler used and how your body accepts it, the treatment may last from months to years.

Both these procedures are fairly safe. The key is choosing the right Dermatologist who can conduct these procedures safely.

It is also advisable to check the cost, process, longevity, and after-effects of the treatment. Alovia team is always ready to help you out with any doubts that you may have.

Mesotherapy uses injections of a combination of hormones, vitamins, plant extracts, homeopathic agents, enzymes for skin tightening, recontouring, skin lightening, and losing excess cellulite. The injections are customized as per the patient undergoing the treatment.

Mesotherapy can also be used for treating hair loss and pain relief for issues like sports injuries, menstrual pains, migraine, gout, etc.

These days ultrasonic mesotherapy is gaining popularity which is a needle-free procedure.

Minor side effects are associated with Mesotherapy, like skin sensitivity, swelling, rashes, etc. But they do not last for long. Recovery time after Mesotherapy is almost nil.

Hair Loss Treatment

Laser Hair Removal

As the name suggests, laser hair removal is a process that uses a laser beam to remove the unwanted hair on the face or any other part of the body like armpits, bikini lines, etc. It works on the principle that the beam of light generates heat and destroys the hair follicle, preventing regrowth.

Usually, the effect of the treatment lasts long, and in many cases hair may not grow back also. It is of course very subjective and varies from patient to patient.

After the procedure, simple precautions need to be followed, like avoiding direct exposure to the sun or source of heat and UV rays.

Laser hair removal has no downtime with minimal side effects like slight discomfort, mild redness, and swelling if you have sensitive skin. Your dermatologist will give you the necessary treatment if any of this happens. However, in some extremely rare cases, blistering, infections, and scarring may occur.

Laser hair removal should be done by an experienced dermatologist. It can prove dangerous if not done properly leading to burns and scars. The dermatologists at Alovia are well versed with the procedure and have the necessary expertise to conduct laser hair removal. Reach out to us to know more.
