Follow on Google News | Best Acne and Acne Scar TreatmentDoctor Simon Ourian M.D. discusses the medical science behind acne scars and the Coolaser™ he developed and believes is the best available treatment to deal with this affliction.
“Acne scarring probably effects men and women equally”, continues Doctor Ourian, “at least in my practice. In some ways acne scarring is more difficult emotionally for the men because women can use makeup to try and cover their blemishes and that’s not an option most men will consider. But now I’m glad to see patients in their teens and twenties coming in to deal with their scarring and with the Coolaser I believe I can save them years of torment and low self-esteem.” What are acne scars? When tissue is injured the body works to repair the damage and acne scars are visible reminders of this response. Acne is caused when the body’s overproduction of sebum combines with dead skin cells to clog pores and create a fertile bacterial breeding ground. This may leak to neighboring tissue causing swelling, redness and bumps or pimples. The body will then rush white blood cells and a mix of inflammatory molecules to fight infection and repair the tissue. This process can take days or even weeks. But as with most patch repairs, visible reminders remain behind, worse for some than others. There are several different types of acne scars: 1. Ice Pick Scars: These are among the most common and appear as deep pits in the skin. 2. Boxcar Scars: These are angular scars usually found around the temples and cheeks. Some may be shallow and others may be deep. 3. Rolling Scars: These scars are gently undulating, like hills and valleys without sharp borders. 4. Keloid scars: The scars are overgrowths of fibrous tissue that may occur after an injury to the skin such as acne and can form on the shoulders, back and chest. “It gives me great satisfaction to help these patients”, states Doctor Ourian, “it makes all the work I put into developing the Coolaser and evolving techniques to achieve optimal results worthwhile. With the Coolaser I can effectively and exactingly remove just enough damaged skin to leave the surface smooth. For deeper acne scars I like to combine Coolaser with dermal fillers such as Radiesse®, Juvéderm® or Restylane®.
