Acne can leave temporary discoloration or permanent scars; early acne control and sun protection reduce risk, while modern topical and procedural treatments (retinoids, chemical peels, microneedling, lasers, subcision) can improve established scars.
Acne-scar treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Match scar type and skin tone to modern options - topicals, microneedling, lasers, fillers, or combos - ask the right questions, and avoid miracle claims.
Obagi Blue Peel is a clinic-applied TCA-based chemical peel that uses a blue indicator for controlled application. It treats sun damage, fine lines, pigmentation and texture issues. Recovery varies by peel depth; choose an experienced clinician and follow strict aftercare to reduce risks.
A practical guide to choosing evidence-based skincare for acne and discoloration: start with proven topicals, protect skin, and consult a dermatologist for persistent or severe cases.
A facelift (rhytidectomy) lifts sagging facial tissues and improves contour. Surgical options range from deep-plane to mini-lifts; non-surgical methods and energy devices offer subtler, shorter-term results. Combining procedures often gives the best overall outcome.
Updated options for acne scar reduction include lasers, microneedling, subcision, fillers or fat grafting, and intralesional injections. Early acne control and careful aftercare - gentle cleansing, sun protection, and avoiding picking - improve outcomes.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outer skin layer to improve dullness, mild scarring, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Sessions take about 30-60 minutes with minimal downtime; multiple treatments spaced weeks apart produce the best results.
