MD Cosmedical Solutions, one of Australia’s leading cosmetic laser clinics, introduces the revolutionary Fotona Ablative Laser treatments for acne and scar reduction. This advanced medical skin laser technology provides exceptional results for most patients in treating acne lesions and various types of scars, giving patients clearer and smoother skin.
Understanding Acne and Acne Lesions:
About Acne
Acne is a common skin disorder characterised by seborrhoea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (pimples), nodules (large papules), and possibly scarring. Acne primarily affects areas with a high density of sebaceous follicles, such as the face, upper chest, and back. It is most common during adolescence due to increased testosterone levels but can persist into adulthood, triggered by factors like stress, medications, and hormonal changes.
Effects of Acne
Beyond physical scarring, acne can significantly impact psychological well-being, causing reduced self-esteem and depression.
Advanced Acne Treatments
Patients with persistent active acne often seek advanced treatments at MD Cosmedical Solutions. Dr. Beaini’s protocol for treating active acne includes a combination of:
- Pathology (blood tests to check hormone levels and fluctuations)
- Pelvic ultrasound (for females to exclude medical conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries)
- Fotona Nd:Yag Laser
- Fotona Ablative Laser.
- Fraxel Restore Laser
- Fraxel CO2 Laser
The Fotona SP Dynamis Nd:Yag laser effectively destroys acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) and unblocks skin pores. Fotona Ablative, Fraxel Restore and Fraxel CO2 laser treatments repair acne-scarred skin, delivering remarkable results.
Understanding Acne Scars:
About Acne Scars
Acne scarring results from inflammation within the dermis, causing excess collagen to form in one area. Common types of acne scars include:
- Icepick Scars:Deep pits, the most common and a classic sign of acne scarring.
- Boxcar Scars: Angular scars on the temple and cheeks, similar to chickenpox scars.
- Rolling Scars: Scars that give the skin a wave-like appearance.
- Hypertrophic Scars: Thickened or keloid-type scars.
- Pigmented Scars: Result from nodular or cystic acne, often leaving inflamed red marks.
Advanced Acne Scar Treatments
MD Cosmedical Solutions laser clinics offer expert acne scar treatments using revolutionary Fotona Ablative, Fraxel Restore Dual and Fraxel Repair CO2 Lasers. These treatments maximise acne scar removal results, improving acne scar sufferer’s skin conditions.
Understanding Surgical, Injury, and Self-Harm Scars:
About Surgical, Injury, and Self-Harm Scars
Scars can result from surgery, cuts, acne, skin infections, chickenpox, burns, and scratches. Factors influencing scar severity include age, health, genetic predisposition, location, cause of skin damage, wound treatment, and movement during healing. Types of surgical scars include:
- Keloid Scars: Raised, itchy, often larger than the original injury.
- Hypertrophic Scars: Similar to keloid scars but confined to the original injury area.
- Contracture Scars: Result from surgery or burns, causing tight skin that can affect mobility.
Scar Treatments
MD Cosmedical Solutions utilises Fotona Ablative, Fraxel Restore Dual and Fraxel Repair CO2 Lasers to treat surgical and injury scars, offering expert and effective scar reduction treatments.
Understanding Stretch Marks:
About Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are a type of skin scarring with an off-color hue, caused by tearing of the dermis. Common causes include rapid growth, weight changes, hormonal changes, and pregnancy. Stretch marks often appear on the belly, breasts, thighs, hips, lower back, and buttocks.
