Acne scars don’t have to define your story. Modern skincare solutions like Potenza Microneedling and PicoSure Laser offer transformative results for smoother, clearer skin. At Shiny Lotus Med Spa in Mississauga we offer comprehensive treatments that can include on or both of these amazing technologies so you can see the best results! Here’s the scoop on acne, scarring, and how these advanced treatments can change your skin’s future.

Types of Acne That Cause Scars

Acne comes in many forms, and some are more likely to leave scars than others:

Cystic Acne: Deep, inflamed, and painful, cystic acne often damages collagen, leading to pitted or raised scars.

Whiteheads and Blackheads: While generally mild, improper handling or prolonged inflammation can leave pigmentation or minor scarring.

Nodules and Pustules: These larger lesions can penetrate deeper into the skin, increasing the risk of permanent scarring.

Understanding Acne Scars

1. Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars like ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars result from collagen loss.
2. Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars caused by excessive collagen production.
3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots or discoloration that linger after acne heals.

How Potenza Microneedling Works Its Magic

Potenza combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tackle acne scars and improve overall skin texture. Here’s the breakdown:

• Microneedling: Tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production.
• Radiofrequency Energy: Penetrates deeper skin layers for enhanced collagen remodeling and firming effects.
• Customizable Settings: Tailored to your skin’s needs, whether scars are shallow or deep.

The result? A smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.
