Taking care of problem skin and getting rid of acne is not an easy task. But if you don’t make an effort, it will be even more difficult to eliminate the effects of acne or minimize them. Not every pimple leaves marks (post-acne). But if scars do appear, then getting rid of them can be very problematic.

Acne marks indicate deep, prolonged inflammation. They can be localized on the face, neck, back, shoulders, chest. Unattractive scars occur if both the outer layers of the skin and the deeper ones are affected. The skin cannot independently restore itself to its original state. The pimples go away, but the replacement tissue at the site of the damage remains noticeable.

How to get rid of red spots after acne -

We have already said above that such red spots after acne are more correctly called post-inflammatory erythema. Its formation at the site of resolved acne is associated with a persistent expansion of blood capillaries at the site of inflammation. Accordingly, how to remove red spots from acne lies solely in the use of methods that allow you to destroy dilated capillaries.

First of all, we are talking about the use of 2 types of special devices: pulsed lasers using liquid dyes, as well as IPL devices. They work in a similar way: light pulses penetrate to a shallow depth through the surface layers of the skin and are absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood. This leads to the release of a large amount of thermal energy in the dilated capillaries, which leads to their coagulation. As a result, the skin color at the site of erythema is gradually restored to normal.

Below we will look at examples of effective devices for erythema after acne.

Pulsed dye lasers –

Pulsed dye laser is considered the gold standard treatment for post-inflammatory erythema. These lasers most often operate at a wavelength of 585 nm, although long-pulse dye lasers (with wavelengths between 595 and 600 nm) also exist. The latter includes the Vbeam Perfecta laser, which is very effective for the treatment of erythema after acne, and we would put it in 1st place - in comparison with all other devices listed below.

An example of one of the studies (“Acne erythema improvement by long-pulsed 595-nm pulsed-dye laser treatment: a pilot study” Lee, Kim, Park, 2008). This study shows that 2 sessions of long-pulse dye laser (4 weeks apart) lead to lasting improvement in 90% of patients. Moreover, the number of lesions after the 1st session decreased by approximately 24.9%, and after the 2nd session - by another 57.6% (in some cases, the erythema persisted, but the size of the spots in any case became smaller).

This laser also helps reduce atrophic scars. Therefore, if you not only need to remove acne scars in the form of red spots, but also have the goal of getting rid of acne scars, this laser may be a good option.

Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser –

KTP lasers operate at a wavelength of 532 nm (an example is the Compact laser). These lasers work well in reducing post-inflammatory erythema, but are still slightly inferior to pulsed dye lasers. This type of laser has virtually no effect on the production of collagen in the dermis, so if you also have acne scars, this laser will not be able to help reduce them.

However, in addition to the treatment of post-inflammatory erythema, KTP lasers can also be used to treat papulopustular acne (pimples). The fact is that the wavelength of 532 nm is absorbed by the porphyrins of the bacteria P.acnes, which leads to the destruction of their bacterial walls. Thus, if, in addition to post-inflammatory erythema, you also have active foci of inflammation, then the use of a KTP laser may be preferable (24stoma.ru).

Devices for IPL therapy –

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an option for treating post-inflammatory erythema in patients with acne. IPL devices differ from lasers in that they do not operate at any one wavelength, but simultaneously in the range from approximately 400 to 1200 nm. For the treatment of post-inflammatory erythema, the FDA has approved the use of the IPL module of the Lumenis M22 device. Moreover, the clinic must have special “vascular” light filters for the IPL module (530-650 and 900-1200 nm).

In general, IPL devices are quite effective for treating red acne marks, but they are still inferior to pulsed dye lasers. For example, a pulsed dye laser may require only 2 sessions, while persistent erythema on an IPL device may require 3 to 5 sessions. In addition, IPL devices can also be used to treat active inflammatory foci of acne, but for this, a different light filter (400-600 nm) is used, designed specifically for acne therapy.

Nd:YAG lasers –

Post-inflammatory erythema following acne is associated more with superficial blood vessels, but this laser penetrates deeper than is usually necessary. Therefore, Nd:YAG lasers are not very effective for common post-inflammatory erythema. The only exception would be the treatment of erythema, which was caused by the expansion of blood capillaries in the deep layers of the dermis. An example of such a laser would be the Cutera Genesis, which operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm.

Nd: YAG lasers such as "Cutera Genesis" for acne patients are more interesting because they are able to destroy the sebaceous glands using heat, which will significantly reduce oily skin and acne symptoms. In addition, this type of laser will also be effective for treating atrophic acne scars, because its effect stimulates collagen synthesis in the dermis.

Fractional RF devices –

Such devices are a novelty in modern hardware cosmetology. Devices for fractional radio wave lifting (fractional RF lifting) are also very effective for treating red spots after acne. One of the best devices can be called the “Venus Viva” device (made in Canada/Israel). The fractional effect in this device is provided by a special NanoFractional RF applicator. With its help, you can effectively treat not only red spots after acne, but also hyperpigmented spots associated with melanin deposition.

In addition, fractional exposure to the skin simultaneously stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin, which will not only increase its elasticity and smooth out wrinkles, but also significantly reduce the depth of atrophic scars after acne. In addition to Venus Viva, there are several other manufacturers of fractional RF devices. For example, there is a fractional “Sublative RF” handpiece that comes with the eTwo™ and Elos Plus™ devices.

Important: There are many acne spot treatment products advertised now that you can buy at the pharmacy.
Such skin lightening products (based on retinoids, azelaic acid, tyrosinase blockers, etc.) only help with brown age spots. In addition, for post-inflammatory erythema, you should not do chemical peels, because you will get the opposite effect.

Achromin

Achromin cream has a brightening effect on the skin.

This product contains:

• hydroxypropionic acid;
• waxy mixture;
• liquid mixture of high-boiling hydrocarbons;
• rose essential oil;
• the simplest representative of trihydric alcohols;
• monobasic carboxylic acid of the aliphatic series;
• plant extract of wheat germ;
• natural compound derived from tocol;
• sodium salt of hydrochloric acid;
• purified water.

This remedy is used in the treatment of:

• hyperpigmentation of various origins;
• scars after acne;
• ultraviolet burns;
• as a means of protecting against sun rays.

1. The complex composition of Achromin cream helps fight skin problems, namely, it whitens hyperpigmented areas, fights small age spots - freckles, and evens out the skin after acne.
2. Achromin cream should be applied with massaging, rubbing movements onto clean facial skin in the morning (before going outside) and in the evening (before bed).
3. The cost of this cream ranges from 55 rubles. up to 65 rub. for 1 piece

How to remove brown acne spots -

The appearance of brown pigment spots after acne is associated with excessive formation of the melanin pigment.
This process is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but usually such spots also go away on their own (within 3 to 24 months). To avoid the appearance of foci of hyperpigmentation at the site of acne, patients with acne should always use non-comedogenic sunscreens with an SPF of 30 during periods of high solar activity. How to remove acne spots on the face - this can be done either with the help of special cosmetics or with hardware methods. As for cosmetic products, in fact, most advertised products are either not effective at all for hyperpigmentation, or have very little effectiveness. The standard for the treatment of hyperpigmentation is an effect comparable to the use of 4% hydroquinone (it is currently banned in many countries due to its strong toxic effect).

The best remedy for dark spots after acne is

1. Tretinoin (Retin-A cream, A-Ret Gel, etc.) – in a concentration of 0.05-0.1% promotes quite pronounced lightening of hyperpigmentation foci. Officially, drugs with tretinoin are not sold in Russia, but they can be purchased to order on the Internet. The price for a 20 g tube starts from 800 rubles. The disadvantage of products with tretinoin is that at the first stage of use they have an irritating effect on the skin.
2. (USA) produces such a remedy for hyperpigmentation as “ADVANCED PIGMENT CORRECTOR”. This drug is applied precisely to areas of hyperpigmentation. It contains 0.3% salicylic acid, 1% hydroxyphenoxypropionic acid, 0.5% ellagic acid, etc. According to clinical studies, the effectiveness of this product is comparable to the use of 4% hydroquinone.
3. A combination of 10% glycolic acid and 0.5-1% kojic acid gives a good effect for 1-2 months when used twice a day. This is an extremely effective combination, but you need to keep in mind that if you use products with only glycolic acid, it will take you longer to achieve a similar effect. (Spain) produces several interesting products for the correction of hyperpigmentation.
   Depigmenting gel “KOJICOL PLUS” contains a combination of glycolic and kojic acids + alpha-arbutin, phytic acid and mulberry extract (this gel is used for moderate pigmentation, applied pointwise). Slightly stronger brightening gel "HIDROQUIN" - contains alpha-arbutin, ferulic acid, retinol, vitamin C + niacinamide (nicotinamide).

   It also produces 2 professional products (you can buy them only through cosmetologists). Firstly, this is “TARGET cream” based on retinol, alpha-arbutin, as well as tranexamic, kojic and citric acids. Secondly, this is “TARGET liposomal serum” (it contains azelaic acid, 4N-butylresorcinol, retinol, glycyrrhetinic acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, white mulberry extract, ascorbyl glucoside, etc.). The products are applied locally to age spots.

4. Preparations with azelaic acid (for example, Skinoren cream or gel) - they are quite effective against hyperpigmentation, but to achieve a pronounced effect you will need to wait about 5-6 months.
5. The remaining components - components such as arbutin (alpha-arbutin), licorice root extract, mulberry extract, emblicanin, nicotinamide - are only minor components for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. As for the use of antioxidants (for example, vitamin C), they effectively reduce the severity of pigmentation that has developed as a result of UV irradiation, but they have a much worse effect on post-inflammatory pigmentation.

How to get rid of acne marks quickly -

If you decide to use products for external use (in the form of a cream, gel or serum), then quickly removing hyperpigmented spots will not work. How to get rid of acne marks in just 1-2 procedures - the achievements of hardware cosmetology will again help you with this. This can be done using IPL devices or lasers, for example, the same Lumenis M-22 device, which is approved by the FDA, including for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

The Lumenis M-22 device is a multifunctional platform that combines both an IPL module and a ResurFX fractional laser. Depending on the severity of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, one or another module may be used at the discretion of the physician. ELOS devices can also be used, which combine 2 types of effects on the pigment spot (IPL + radio frequency energy), although they are not as effective.

Treatment of hyperpigmentation lesions using IPL –

Chemical peels –

This is another option for how to quickly cope with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, it is not as fast as hardware cosmetology, and not as effective. For example, peelings with mandelic acid can help you with this (improvement is achieved in approximately 55% of cases). Another option is peelings with a combination of glycolic and kojic acids, but such peels cannot be done for patients taking oral contraceptives, because. this will enhance pigmentation.

Another effective peeling for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is “AZELAC RU” from Mediderma. It contains a combination of azelaic, mandelic, phytic and ferulic acids, as well as 4N-butylresorcinol. In any case, it must be said that even a whole course of peelings is unlikely to completely remove all foci of pigmentation, but this will definitely improve the situation in about 2 months (Fig. 11).

Whitening cream

To help the skin restore its normal color after acne, you need to use Differin cream.

This cream contains:

• a synthetic analogue of retinol - adapalene, which has antibiotic properties;
• acrylic acid derivatives;
• macrogol;
• glycerol;
• unsaturated natural hydrocarbon;
• methyldextrose sesquistearate;

• water.

1. This cream composition has the ability to break down acne, relieve inflammation and whiten the skin.
2. Used for acne and its consequences, such as spots on the skin.
3. The cream must be applied to damaged skin once a day at night. Do not touch the area around the eyes and mouth. The duration of therapy is from 2 to 3 months.
4. The price of Differin cream ranges from 700 rubles. up to 780 rub. for 1 piece

How to remove scars from acne and chickenpox -

Acne and chickenpox scars are atrophic (minus tissue), although keloid scars can sometimes occur after severe forms of acne. Scars after acne (as well as scars after chickenpox) are defects of the dermis and, accordingly, methods affecting the dermal layer of the skin will be used to correct them. According to the accepted international classification, all atrophic scars are divided into 3 main types -

• “ice pick” type scar,
• rolled scar,
• carriage-shaped scar.

The division of scars into types has clinical significance, because Different treatment methods show different effectiveness when dealing with different types of atrophic acne scars. Ice pick scars are narrow, deep, sharply defined scars, the bottom of which can reach deep layers of the dermis or even subcutaneous tissue. Rolled scar (also called groove-shaped) - has the appearance of a deep, long groove with a width of 4 to 5 mm.

Carriage-shaped scars are round to oval-shaped depressions with sharply defined vertical edges. According to statistics, “ice pick” scars make up about 60-70% (of the total number of acne scars), carriage-shaped scars - about 20-30%, knurled - about 15-20%. Chickenpox scars are exactly the same as acne scars and will be treated accordingly. Below we will focus on the most effective methods, but first we will list methods that are definitely not worth wasting time and money on.

Useless and of little use methods -

• special creams for scars such as contractubex or any other (just zero effect),
• cosmetics with retinoids and vitamin C (can only be used as a preparatory stage for hardware methods),
• filler injections (expensive, and the effect is temporary).

conclusions

1. Acne and post-acne are a common problem that can be solved in three directions: acne prevention, timely treatment of acne, and post-acne elimination.
2. There are medical, cosmetic, and folk remedies for the treatment of stagnant spots and scars.
3. To avoid the development of acne, you need regular cleansing, oil control, nutrition (vitamins, microelements), support for regenerative functions and pH levels. To prevent your skin from drying out, remember to use non-comedogenic moisturizers.
4. Cleanliness and health of the skin primarily depend on the condition of the internal organs, so diet, a healthy lifestyle, and the absence of bad habits are an important condition for recovery.

TCA chemical peel –

Ice pick scars can be corrected well with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, but this method should be avoided in patients with dark skin due to the high risk of hyperpigmentation. Conducting a medium peel will mean a TCA concentration of 40-50% (only in this case does damage to the papillary dermis occur), and anything below 40% is only a superficial peeling to the depth of the epidermis. Accordingly, we need a TCA of at least 40%.

It should be noted that such a high concentration means certain risks. Therefore, such peeling should only be done by a very experienced dermato-cosmetologist. Below you can see the result after 3 TCA 50% peeling procedures, where the intervals between procedures were 4 weeks. As you can see, a significant improvement has been achieved, and other methods can then be used (for example, laser resurfacing, or the method of perforation removal of individual scars).

Laser facial resurfacing –

There are a huge number of types of lasers that can be used to correct acne and chickenpox scars, but we will try to systematize this information. All lasers for scar correction can be divided into 2 main categories (each of which in turn is divided into two more):

• ablative (traditional and fractional),
• non-ablative (traditional and fractional).

a) The best ablative lasers –

Ablative lasers seem to evaporate the surface layers of the skin, but at the same time they also affect the dermis, stimulating the formation of collagen in it. Those. The term “ablative” means that the laser action involves permanent damage to the surface of the skin. Traditional ablative CO2 lasers are extremely effective for correcting atrophic scars (50–80% improvement in scar condition is achieved after only 1 procedure), but such lasers have a high risk of complications and side effects.

This is due to the fact that traditional ablative lasers operate in continuous resurfacing mode (i.e., total damage to the entire surface of the skin in the treated area occurs). Due to the large number of side effects and long rehabilitation period, fractional type ablative lasers were developed. Their peculiarity is that they damage the skin fractionally (fragmentally), i.e. Between the damaged areas of the skin, intact areas remain, which will contribute to much faster healing.

One of the best ablative fractional CO2 lasers can be called “AcuPulse” (Lumenis, Israel), it operates with a wavelength of 10,600 nm. There are also ablative fractional erbium lasers (Er: YAG) - with a wavelength of 2940 nm. The effectiveness of CO2 and Er:YAG lasers is almost comparable, however, both of them may require 2-3 procedures (while a traditional ablative laser may require only 1 procedure).

I would like to note that the ablative fractional laser “AcuPulse”, if necessary, can also work in the mode of total resurfacing of the skin flap (i.e., act not as a fractional laser, but as a traditional one).

a) Non-ablative lasers (traditional and fractional) –

Non-ablative lasers (unlike ablative lasers) cause thermal damage only to the dermis and deep layers of the epidermis, and no damage to the superficial stratum corneum of the epidermis occurs at all. They stimulate the formation of new collagen in the dermis - as a result of which the scar rises to the surface. We have already said above that non-ablative lasers are also divided into traditional and fractional.

When we talked about the treatment of post-inflammatory erythema, we already talked about pulsed dye lasers (585 or 595 nm), KTP lasers 532 nm, and Nd:YAG lasers 1064 nm. They are precisely non-ablative traditional lasers. But besides them, it should also include Nd:YAG lasers 1320 nm, as well as diode lasers 1450 nm. Absolutely all of these lasers have approximately the same efficiency, which is quite modest.

Clinical studies show that after 1 treatment, the condition of scars improves by only about 20-30%. This means you may need 3 to 5 treatments to get optimal results. Of course, the effectiveness of non-ablative traditional lasers is much less than ablative lasers (both traditional and fractional). Well, the last type of lasers that we want to talk about are non-ablative fractional lasers, which include, for example, the FRAXEL RE:STORE laser.

Non-ablative fractional lasers differ from traditional lasers in that thermal damage to the dermis and deep layers of the epidermis occurs fractionally (i.e., there will be undamaged areas between the damaged areas). "FRAXEL RE:STORE" is an erbium fiber laser with a wavelength of 1550 nm. Clinical studies show that acne scars improve by approximately 50% after 1 treatment.

A few important points regarding laser resurfacing -

You should understand that laser resurfacing will show different effectiveness for different types of atrophic scars. The main indications for laser resurfacing will be carriage-shaped and groove-shaped (knurled) scars. For example, if we take the FRAXEL RE:STORE laser, then on carriage-shaped scars it can show an improvement of up to 50% (for 1 procedure), groove-shaped scars - only up to 40%, and on scars of the "ice pick" type - there will be only improvement up to 25%.

The same will apply to any other type of laser, i.e. on scars of the “ice pick” type - any type of laser resurfacing will a priori be less effective. Therefore, you should understand that the number of laser resurfacing procedures that may be required will depend not only on the type of laser, but also on the type of atrophic scars on your skin. Carriage-shaped scars after acne are always easier to correct (as are scars after chickenpox).

Fractional RF lifting –

At the beginning of the article, we already said that such devices are effective against red spots after acne. But at the same time they are very effective against atrophic scars after acne or chickenpox. We recommend 2 devices for this. Firstly, the Venus Viva device (made in Canada/Israel), which must be equipped with a NanoFractional RF tip. Secondly, eTwo™ and Elos Plus™ devices from , which must be equipped with a Sublative RF fractional tip.

The fractional tips of these devices are supplied with disposable applicators with microneedles (electrodes up to 1 mm in size), with the help of which thermal damage is produced in the epidermis and dermis. The damage is fractional in nature, i.e. they are surrounded by intact tissue for rapid re-epithelialization of damage. Damage to the epidermis is microscopic and not noticeable; the main effect is realized in the dermis.

Thus, this is an ablative technique (with damage to the stratum corneum of the epidermis), but unlike laser resurfacing procedures, fractional radiofrequency lifting has a very short rehabilitation period and no side effects. The method is effective not only for atrophic scars, but also for the treatment of post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation. Below you can see photos before and after a course of 3 fractional RF lifting procedures.

Cream “Protection and Moisturizing”

• aquilegia;
• sodium hyaluronate;
• lemon balm extract;
• chamomile flower extract;
• rutoside;
• sodium polyacrylate;
• synthetic tripeptide;
• palmitoyl oligopeptide;
• palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3;
• benzyl alcohol;
• benzoic acid;
• sorbic acid;

3. The cost of the “Protection and Moisturizing” cream ranges from 190 rubles. up to 230 rub. for 1 bottle.

Using the Dermapen device or mesoscooter –

Dermapen works great where there is “minus tissue”, i.e. with atrophic scars. This is a fractional device that, using the mechanical movements of a nozzle with needles, causes microdamage to the skin. And the skin naturally reacts to damage by regeneration, i.e. collagen synthesis is stimulated. Depending on the number, depth and type of atrophic scars, the course of treatment may require from 3 to 6-8 procedures.

The first results can be seen 6-8 weeks after the first procedure, and the final result can be assessed only 3 months after the last procedure. The same applies to any other methods (for example, laser resurfacing). This is due to the fact that stimulation of collagen production in response to skin damage is delayed in time and increases gradually.

Dermapen: before and after photos

The mesoscooter is a cheaper alternative to the Dermapen device. It works on the same principle - it leaves microdamages in the skin, but the damage is no longer applied strictly vertically, but at a changing angle (since the mesoscooter drum with needles rotates). This is not very good and can lead to roughening of the skin due to the production of abnormal scar collagen. Below you can see photos before and after 3 procedures performed at an interval of 4 weeks.

Mesoscooter: before and after photos

How to increase the effectiveness of these methods -

The effectiveness of using a dermapen or mesoscooter can be increased if you undergo special training. Clinical studies have shown that if the patient used topical retinoids for at least 1 month (optimally 2-3 months), the effectiveness of the method increased significantly. As retinoids you can use: products with pure retinol (at least 0.3-0.4% and up to 1%), as well as tretinoin 0.025%.

Products with the L-form of ascorbic acid with a concentration of 15% (instead of retinoids) can also be used, because they also stimulate collagen production in the skin. Another preparation option is injection mesotherapy in a cosmetologist’s office. In this case, several procedures are first carried out using nucleotides (DNA-RNA complexes) - an excellent Italian drug for this is “Plinest”. After this, several injection procedures with complexes containing matrikin peptides (they stimulate collagen production).

After such an injection preparation of 4-6 procedures, we move on to the dermapen or mesoscooter itself. We hope that our article: How to get rid of acne spots, acne scars and chickenpox was useful to you!
