Laser free acne scar treatments you should try

One of the most distressing aspects of acne can be the scars which are left behind following a flare-up.

Although these may fade with time, many still end up with unsightly scars, often on the cheeks and forehead.

While there are a range of acne scar treatments available, it’s important to note that laser acne treatments may increase the risk of skin infections. Apart from potentially causing redness and itching after treatment, laser sessions may even prompt an acne flare up.

Laser isn’t always the best option, especially for those with active acne, or have used acne medication (isotretinoin).

So what are the best laser free acne scar treatments you should try?

For many people who are anxious to reduce the visibility of their acne scars, microneedling or microdermabrasion could work really well.

A fast, effective acne scar treatment, microneedling is a technique involving the stimulation of the epidermal cells (surface skin cells). Microneedling causes the cells to regenerate and renew at a faster rate, resulting in the growth of fresh, new skin. In many cases, this renewal process causes acne scars to become far less obvious, as well as giving a boost to the skin’s radiance and clarity. People often notice a difference after just three or four treatment sessions.

Similar in effect to microneedling, microdermabrasion is another treatment we recommend for acne scarring. With very little down time after the treatment, microdermabrasion is ideal for patients who have a busy schedule. It’s possible to resume normal activities (including wearing make-up, going to the gym and washing the face) within a very short period of time. Our skincare expert will advise on post-treatment guidelines as part of your procedure.

The suitability of a particular acne scar treatment varies from person to person. Get in touch with our professional skincare team based in Business Bay today, by calling us on 04 451 5554.

Nearing 30? Here’s why you need to upgrade your regular facials to Microdermabrasion

If you’re nearing the age of 30 and have yet to consider microdermabrasion, now might be a good time to consider swapping your regular facial for this routine instead – it’s arguably the best skin care regimen for 30 year olds, particularly in warm climates like Dubai.

30 year old skin care: what’s best?

It’s important to understand the sorts of changes that happen to the skin of adults at the age 30+. While a facial might use a combination of cleansing, massage, exfoliation, moisturisation and extraction to redress the balance of essential oils, it won’t quite have the same impact as microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion Dubai: understanding the process

As the skin ages, hyperpigmentation often occurs – particularly in warmer, sunnier climates. These large, blotchy patches create an uneven skin tone and texture. Since Dubai is one of the hottest areas in the world, it should come as no surprise that hyperpigmentation can be a problem for the population here – particularly those with lighter skin tones. But how exactly can microdermabrasion help?

Microdermabrasion is designed to remove the outer layer of dead skin while also refreshing the face. In many instances, an aesthetician may use suction to fully remove dead skin or other material clogging the pores.

In addition to providing a much deeper cleanse, microdermabrasion will help your skin to appear much more texturally even, reducing sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles and more. Most of these conditions and blemishes worsen over the age of 30, which is why it makes sense to either switch completely from a regular facial to a regular microdermabrasion or alternate between the two each month.

If you’re approaching the age of 30 and would like to discuss how adding a microdermabrasion facial to your beauty routine could have your skin looking more radiant than ever before, why not contact Ivory Aesthetics in Dubai today for a free, no-obligation consultation? Our team of qualified beauty therapists will be able to advise you on which treatments will help you to look your most glamorous.
