Acne and Acne Scars

What Are Acne and Acne Scars?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects both adolescents and adults, often leading to breakouts characterized by pimples, blackheads, and cysts. These breakouts can be painful and leave behind stubborn scars that affect the skin’s texture and appearance. Acne scars are the result of inflammation in the skin, which can damage collagen and lead to permanent marks. At Skin By Solène, we understand how distressing acne and acne scars can be, which is why we offer a range of effective treatments to help you achieve clearer, smoother skin. Our goal is to not only treat existing acne but also to prevent future breakouts and minimize the appearance of scars, helping you regain confidence in your skin.

How Does Acne and Acne Scar Treatment Work?

At Skin By Solène, our approach to treating acne and acne scars is comprehensive and tailored to your specific skin needs. For acne, we focus on reducing inflammation, controlling oil production, and preventing further breakouts through a combination of topical medications, oral treatments, chemical peels, and laser therapy. These treatments target the bacteria that cause acne, unclog pores, and promote skin renewal, effectively reducing acne lesions and preventing scarring. When it comes to acne scars, we offer advanced treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and dermal fillers. These procedures stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of scars, leaving you with smoother, more even-toned skin. Before beginning any treatment, our specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation of your skin to determine the most suitable approach, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.
