Knowing what types of acne scars you have is crucial in finding the right treatment. First, figure out what category your acne scars fall under. There are two types of acne scars: Pitted acne scars (where there has been a loss of tissue and the skin literally looks as though there is an indentation in it) and post-inflammatory acne scars (the red spots or brown spots left on the skin after active acne lesions disappear). The acne scar treatment options we offer at Schweiger Dermatology Group for pitted acne scars include laser treatments such as F.A.S.T a quicker way to take care of your acne scars, chemical peels, fillers, PRP, and list based treatments.

The gold standard treatment for acne scars is laser rejuvenation therapy using the fractional CO2 laser. The fractional CO2 laser targets the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen renewal, which in turn fills in depressed acne scars. We are proud to offer the most advanced lasers at Schweiger Dermatology Group:  Fraxel Re: pair and Fraxel Restore, Matrix CO2, the MiXto CO2 Fractional laser, Laser Genesis and we are constanlty keeping up with the latest technologies. To target the red and brown spots that remain after acne lesions resolve, we use the intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, which destroy the pigmented red and brown skin cells on the skin, leaving a more uniform and even-toned complexion.

Schweiger Dermatology Group was founded to help make excellent dermatology care accessible throughout the Northeast. In 2010, Dr. Eric Schweiger started the practice with a single location in Midtown Manhattan. When he saw the need for high-quality dermatology care that did not require weeks or months of waiting to see a qualified provider, his vision of a multi-location practice was born.Acne affects people of all ages. In fact, acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States. 85% of Americans will have acne at some point in their lives.

Acne affects more than your skin. We understand how even the mildest breakout can negatively impact your self-confidence and self-esteem. Acne can range from the occasional pimple to extreme, ongoing breakouts that might go on for several years. Severe breakouts have been linked to anxiety and depression in studies. 

While there is no cure for acne, our board-certified dermatologists in Manhattan, New York offer numerous treatment options to treat your acne effectively. At the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, we feature more than 100 laser devices, as well as a full-time, on-site research division devoted exclusively to investigative pursuits, including a study of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris that is currently in process.

While blackheads and whiteheads (also known as comedones) are the most common acne lesions, there are other types that can develop on your skin. Most of these inflammatory lesions are the most likely to leave scarring behind. These lesions include:

Acne can develop almost anywhere on the body and most commonly appears on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. We can perform acne treatments on any of these areas.

Three factors can lead to the formation of acne. The first is a collection of dead skin cells clogging your pores, which can be managed with regular exfoliating treatments. Your sebaceous glands may also produce too much oil in your follicles, creating oily skin ripe for blemishes. Finally bacteria can build up in your pores, leading to breakouts. Acne is not an infection of the skin, but an inflammatory condition that may result from:

The severity of your acne will dictate how aggressive the treatment will be. Treatment options for acne will range from topical and oral medications to laser therapy.

Although acne treatments can offer very long-lasting results, it is always possible the acne might return. Some people might find that after overcoming acne in adolescence, it makes a return in the adult years. Our physicians at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York have the experience and expertise to customize effective acne treatment plans for patients at any age.

Younger patients may find that once they stop their acne treatment, the breakouts return. This is a more common issue with topical treatments and much less frequent in Accutane users. However, it is important to understand that since there is no cure for acne, you could experience symptoms even after stronger treatments are completed.

In addition to dealing with active breakouts, individuals are also often left with residual scarring once the condition has cleared. The more severe the acne, the more visible the scars can be. This is one good reason to have acne treated early, to avoid permanent damage to the skin.

Multiple treatments are available to improve the appearance of acne scars at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. Options for acne scar treatment have improved dramatically over the past several years thanks to cutting-edge laser technology. While acne scarring cannot be “cured, ” most of our patients experience substantial improvement with laser treatment. We are a leading research facility for dermatology, including acne scar treatment. Our Clinical Director Roy G Geronemus, MD recently conducted research on the Cherry 3D Imaging Device for monitoring acne scar repair.

The best treatment option will depend on the types of scars and the unique characteristics of each patient. Hypopigmented, red, hyperpigmented, elevated, or depressed and sunken scars can all typically be improved with the appropriate selection of laser treatments. We also have lasers that are safe for patients with darker skin types.
