Why choose Ribe Clinic to treat your scars?
Ribe Clinic professionals have experience in the latest medical technology applied to treat scars and have specific protocols for each type of scar. Years of experience and management of the latest technology, guarantee their results. In addition, they participate in medical research with new technologies for the treatment of acne scars.
The medical technology used in the treatment of mild-moderate scars is the Fraxel re-store laser. However, for the most severe scars, the fractional CO2 laser, the fractional picosecond laser (Resolve) and the fractional radiofrequency subactative E- matrix are performed.In some cases, if indicated, fillers or collagen-inducing materials are used to attenuate the scar. Nutritional supplements for the activation of collagen formation which are very important in the process of scar repair and creams for scars are prescribed.
These medical technologies, depending on the type of scar and the evolution of the patient during the treatment to erase scars, can be combined for the best aesthetic result.
Treatment of post acne scars, can they be erased?
Patients ask us: Can you erase an acne scar? Removing a scar leaving a completely intact skin is not possible, since there has been a rupture of the integrity of the skin after the inflammatory process. However, treatments for acne scars can soften them to the point where they are very inconspicuous. The satisfaction of patients in these treatments for acne scars is high.
After acne, we may have red marks or scars.
The red marks are a residual consequence of the inflammatory process. These can remain weeks or months so that, although the pimple has disappeared, the red mark, or brown in some cases, lasts. These red marks post acne can be effectively attenuated with laser or fractional radiofrequency and, sometimes, with the application of specific creams.
The post acne scars appear when the sebaceous gland swells considerably, the surrounding collagen fibers are destroyed and replaced by scar tissue with lower quality collagen. Thus, the dermis atrophies and the epidermis becomes depressed. There are 3 types of post acne scars:
The treatment of these scars is different for each of them, although many patients have scars of the 3 types and therefore we combine treatments.
