        What are Scars?

        Scars are marks on the skin left after a wound, injury, or after acne has healed. Scars can be caused by various types of damage to the skin and can present in many different shapes and sizes, depending on the individual.

        What Treatments are Available for Scars?

        Morpheus 8
        The Morpheus8 treatment uses silicone-coated needles to go beneath the skin and deliver a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens loose tissue, rejuvenates skin, and increases skin elasticity.  This treatment can help improve the appearance of concerns such as hyperpigmentation from acne scars. 
        Microneedling with DP4™ Pen
        The DP4™ Microneedling Pen glides over the skin, creating millions of fine, vertical channels faster than other micro-needling pens. These channels can carry more topical nutrients deeper into the skin. The micro-injuries trigger a natural process of repair, increasing the production of collagen and elastin and visibly improving a wide range of skin concerns. It is the only device in the world that can treat scars by safely achieving a 3mm depth into the skin.
        Enlighten Laser
        The Enlighten Laser Treatment is one of the most effective solutions for hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and more using Pico Genesis + Pico GenesisFX laser technology to safely and effectively shatter the pigment.

        What Causes Scars?

        Scars normally form as a result of the body’s natural healing response after the tissue is damaged. When the skin is wounded for any reason, tissues break and cause collagen to be released. The more collagen that is released, the quicker the wound heals. You can receive scars from various injuries, picking at skin, prolonged sun exposure, and even acne. 

        Types of Scars

        Some common types of scars include: 

        • Atrophic. Appears as an indent below the top layer of skin tissue, often as a result of acne or chicken pox.
        • Hypertrophic. Appears as a thick, raised scar in an attempt to heal wounds caused by skin trauma, burns, or surgical incisions.
        • Keloid. Appears as the commonly raised scar that shows once a wound has healed.
        • Surgical. After a surgical procedure, it can appear as a hypertrophic scar that turns into a keloid scar but is usually hidden in a discreet place to determine less visibility.
        • Acne. Appears as either an indent on the surface of the skin or a raised lesion on the skin, depending on how much harm was caused and how much bacteria was introduced.

        Scar Treatment Options

        Skin Matters offers several effective treatment options to eliminate various types of scar, including acne scars. These treatments are DP4 Microneedling, Enlighten Laser Treatment and Morpheus8.
