Acne Scarring
Acne scars, a lasting aftermath of acne breakouts, can present as indentations, discolorations, or uneven skin texture. When acne lesions penetrate deeply into the skin, they damage the underlying tissue, triggering the body's natural healing response, often resulting in scar formation. These scars can be distressing, impacting self-confidence and overall skin appearance.
There are a range of treatments available to reduce the visibility of acne scars and improve the skin's texture. Find out more below to discover which treatment best suits your personal requirements.
Micro-needling
Micro-needling is used to improve the appearance of acne scars. A device with tiny, fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. For acne scars, micro needling can help in several ways:
o Collagen Production: stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that gives the skin its structure. Increased collagen fills and smooths acne scars.
o Scar Remodelling: The micro-injuries promote a healing response, leading to a remodelling of scar tissue and a more even skin texture.
o Improved Penetration of Topicals: The micro-channels created during micro needling allow topical treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness in treating scars.
o Reduction of Hyperpigmentation: By promoting even distribution of melanin.
An interval of 28 days is recommended between each treatment.

Mesotherapy/Micro Infusion
Mesotherapy/micro infusion for acne scars injects a tailored blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, and more directly into the skin. This blend, personalized for each client using products from The Hikari Laboratory, serves to:
o Promote Collagen: aiding scar reduction by filling and smoothing the scars.
o Regenerate Tissues: enhancing skin texture and healing of scarred areas.
o Boost Circulation: increased blood flow and oxygenation, supports natural healing and promotes skin health.
o Hydrate and Nourish: improving overall skin health, especially in scarred areas.
o Maximize Nutrient Absorption: Injected directly into the skin for efficient nutrient absorption, maximizing effectiveness in treating acne scars.
An interval of 28 days is recommended between each treatment.

Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are long-chain nucleic acids, similar to DNA or RNA, that have been utilized in medical and aesthetic treatments. When used for acne scars, PNs work in the following ways:
o Collagen Synthesis: Stimulate fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for collagen production. Increased collagen synthesis helps to fill in and improve the texture of acne scars, making them less noticeable.
o Skin Regeneration: Encourage the regeneration of skin cells by accelerating the skin's natural healing processes. This regeneration helps to replace damaged skin with newer, healthier tissue, which can reduce the appearance of scars.
o Improved Elasticity: Enhancing the elasticity of the skin by promoting elastin production. Elastin is a protein that helps the skin maintain its shape and bounce, contributing to a more even skin surface.
o Reduction of Inflammation: Acne scars come with residual inflammation. Their anti-inflammatory properties foster the calming down inflammation leading to a reduction in their appearance.
o Enhanced Absorption of Topicals: Enhancing the absorption of other topical treatments or serums used in conjunction, potentially boosting their effectiveness in treating acne scars.
• It is recommended that an initial course of 3 to 4 polynucleotides is carried out in the first instance, this can then be followed with single maintenance treatments.
An interval of 28 days is recommended between each treatment.

Skin Boosters
Skin boosters involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based boosters into the skin. These injections aim to improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance, providing relief from the symptoms of rosacea. Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin, helps to attract and retain moisture, which is particularly beneficial for rosacea-prone skin that tends to be dry and sensitive. Skin boosters work by revitalizing the skin, enhancing its natural defences, and promoting a more even and smoother complexion in individuals with rosacea
