About ACNE
“Acne
is a common disorder experienced by up to 80% of people between 11 and
30 years of age. For most patients acne remains a nuisance. For other less
fortunate persons, the severe inflammatory response to bacteria (propionibacterium acnes)
results in permanent disfiguring scars. Stigma of severe acne can
lead to social ostracism, withdrawal from society, and severe
psychologic depression.” (Carolyn I. Jacob et al, 2001, Acne scarring).
About ACNE SCARS
Scars
are wound closures by the body's own connective tissue, so-called fibrosis.
Depending on their formation, extension and localization scars can be
very painful – even for many years. Especially visible scars, such as
ACNE SCARS, are an aesthetic disfigurement. So far the medical school
of thought for scar treatment is clear: “VERY DIFFICULT”! Or in simple
words: There is no effective therapy for all scar types. - But this was yesterday!
HOW DOES THE DERMAROLLER WORK ON SCARS?
MECHANISM of ACTION IN SCAR TREATMENT
Fine microneedles perforate the scar tissue. The physician will notice a higher resistance when the needles penetrate the hard scar tissue. Also the patient can notice a slight cracking noise when the needles penetrate the scar tissue.
After a sufficient perforation (about 15 to 20 passes over the scar) very fine petechiae (blood spots, but no bleeding) will be visible on the skin.
 Only a few days after the treatment NEW fibroblasts and capillaries will migrate through the punctured scar tissue. Both processes result in new tissue formation to “fill” the former atrophic scar and new capillaries result in a significant better blood supply that in return results in an improved re-pigmentation.
The COLLAGEN-INDUCTION-THERAPY by MICRONEEDLING will in general result in an improvement of 70 – 80%. Anything else above should be considered as a bonus. As collagen fibers and new capillaries need time to mature, we strongly recommend not to become impatient. Treatments should be separated by at least 6 weeks or more.
At this point we also would like to emphasize the fact that from our point of view no ablative procedure will stimulate Neo-Angiogenesis, and that includes also fractionated laser beams. We believe it is the opposite since the “hot” laser beam “fuses” the capillaries and other tissue, and stimuli for sprouting of new vessels will be suppressed.
Today the DERMAROLLER CONCEPT offers you a new and most effective method to treat ACNE SCARS – in a soft and non-invasive way with Zero social down time.
Note: Before acne scar treatment with the Dermaroller is performed one
principle has to be followed: Acne must be completely healed.
