Restore & Renew: Effective Treatments for Acne Scarring
Acne scarring can be a persistent concern long after breakouts have resolved, affecting skin texture, confidence, and overall well-being. At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides evidence-based treatment options tailored to individual skin types and scar patterns, with a focus on achieving smoother and healthier-looking skin.
Understanding Acne Scarring
Acne scarring occurs when inflamed blemishes damage the skin’s deeper layers. This can lead to various types of scars, including atrophic (depressed), hypertrophic (raised), and post-inflammatory pigmentation. While some scars fade over time, others may persist without treatment.
Personalised Treatment Options
Treatment is based on the type and severity of scarring, skin type, and individual treatment goals. Options available at Karratha Medical Centre include:
Medical-Grade Skin Treatments – Prescription creams and topical therapies containing scientifically backed ingredients can help improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production.
Micro-needling – A procedure that encourages skin regeneration by stimulating collagen formation, which can gradually improve the appearance of atrophic scars.
Chemical Peels – Professionally administered skin peels may help reduce pigmentation and improve skin tone and texture over time.
Other Treatment Options – Depending on the nature of the scarring, additional medical therapies may be recommended.
Before proceeding with any treatment, Dr Amir Waly conducts a thorough assessment to discuss the most suitable approach, taking into account medical history and individual expectations.
