Acne Treatment & Scarring in South Boston, MA

Among all the skin ailments known to man, acne is perhaps the most damaging and difficult to treat. Worse still, chronic and even mild acne can produce pockmarking or scars that threaten to last a lifetime. Some days, it can seem like we’ll never make any progress at all toward the clearer, more comfortable face of our dreams. But there are treatment options available for you, no matter how bad your acne gets.

At Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, we know how to take the fight to acne and the scars it leaves behind. Cosmetic and medical understanding has advanced to a point where we can treat acne and scarring with numerous reliable, cutting-edge methods. Even if you’ve tried other acne treatments before, the options we offer at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery in South Boston, MA can make a real difference today.

How Acne Treatment Works

Sufferers of acne know all the treatment options by name. You’ve got creams, pills, topical solutions, serums, medicated pads, and too many other underwhelming options to keep track of them all. Thankfully, other methods of tackling acne and scarring exist or come to us from the world of cosmetic dermatology. These options represent the latest, best approaches to treating your painful acne outbreaks and persistent scars.

At Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, our leading acne solutions come in several forms you may not have heard of or tried before, including:

Stem Cell Facials

Stem cell facials use your body’s own genetic material (stem cells from fat and bone) to literally regenerate the skin as if it were brand new. This approach not only deprives acne of the fuel it needs for outbreaks, but it can even repair old scars and contribute to a uniform, smooth complexion.

Microneedling

Your body produces two natural healing agents for the maintenance and health of skin. Collagen and elastin are responsible for healing, durability, texture, and health. Microneedling works against acne by creating an uptick in the amount of these two remarkable substances, healing old wounds and closing new wounds faster. Microneedling has tremendous benefits for acne sufferers and could be just the treatment option you’ve been looking for to break free.

CO2 Laser
Treatment

Old acne scars linger due to improperly healed scar tissue taking the place of new, healthy skin cells. But by blasting away that scar tissue and promoting the active growth of restorative skin cells, CO2 laser treatments can reform old scars so that they better blend with the surrounding tissue.

The Benefits of Acne Treatment

Depending on which acne treatment is best for you, there may be additional benefits that make acne more manageable and less intrusive on a daily basis. For skin health, scar revision, and a reduction in the frequency and intensity of acne outbreaks, our treatment options can provide the following:

Scar revision

Fewer acne outbreaks

Improved confidence

Faster healing of new/old scars

Increased elastin production

Briefer outbreaks (if any)

Increased collagen production

Less intense acne outbreaks

Smoother, more even complexion

Chronic acne sufferers don’t have to sit back and take whatever the skin ailment throws at them. Newer, better, more cutting-edge solutions to acne and acne scarring exist. Take advantage of this new wave of treatment options to combat the symptoms, frequency, and intensity of your acne outbreaks today.

Are You Eligible for Acne Treatment?

Depending on your current acne treatment regimen, medical history, and total health, one or more of these acne treatments may be right for you. If you struggle with new or old acne scars, pockmarking, or stubborn scar tissue, you may be an ideal candidate.

During your consultation at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, we’ll start by listening to your goals and concerns. Afterward, we’ll walk through your medical history to determine which course of treatment (or which combination of treatments) will work best for your needs.

Is microneedling for acne painful?

Microneedling relies on its namesake—microneedles—to synthesize “damage” in the deeper layers of your skin. While your skin interprets these fine pricks as “damage,” you likely won’t. Microneedling is a safe, quick, comfortable, and affordable way to stimulate collagen production and encourage the healing of new and old scars—especially those caused by acne.

Where do stem cells come from for stem cell facials?

Not every cell in your adult body knows what it wants to be just yet. Despite growing and aging, your body retains some stem cells that can be extracted and used elsewhere. These cells are mostly found in fatty tissue or inside bone. Once removed and reapplied elsewhere, these stem cells take on the property of the tissue around them, creating new human tissue for the treatment of acne.

Can CO2 lasers really heal old acne scars?

Absolutely! New, healthy skin can’t shove scar tissue aside on its own. By removing improperly formed scar tissue and encouraging the development of newer, healthier skin, your old acne scars can take on a second life by blending with the surrounding tissue. Improve your complexion, allow old scars to heal better, and enjoy your life to the fullest with CO2 laser treatments.
