Acne and acne scars are common skin conditions affecting millions of people globally. There are multiple causes of acne, which can be distressing.

What Causes Acne and Acne Scars?
There are many factors that influence acne and acne scars. Here are some of them:
- Sebum Overproduction: Your sebaceous glands might overproduce sebum (oil production), leading to clogged pores that form acne.
- Clogged Pores: When your pores are clogged, it encourages dead skin cells, oil, bacteria and dirt to trap in the pores, leading to acne.
- Hormonal Changes: Changes in hormones during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or a stressful situation can trigger acne by increasing sebum production and inflammation.
- Diet: Though there is not much research available to prove that diet can trigger acne, some research does say carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, bagels and chips might cause breakouts and acne.
- Stress: Stress can affect our bodies in various ways, including hormone changes. While this can be temporary, hormonal changes can worsen the acne and acne scars.
- Certain Medication: Some medications containing corticosteroids, testosterone, or lithium can trigger and worsen acne.
- Inflammation: Deep and pus-filled acne are usually more prone to inflammation, which damages the skin’s collagen, leading to scars.
- Picking Pimples: The most common cause of acne scarring is the picking, poking, popping or squeezing of acne. It can push bacteria and debris deeper into the skin, sometimes causing severe scarring.
- Delayed Treatment: Most people think acne will go away on its own. However, the more you delay the treatment, the harder it is to treat, and the risk of hyperpigmentation also gets higher.
Top 5 Advanced Treatments for Acne and Acne Scars at Welona
Fractional CO2 Laser
The CO2 Laser is a breakthrough non-surgical option for skin rejuvenation. Using advanced technology, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser equipment resurfaces the skin, enhancing collagen production. When collagen is produced, the skin naturally heals itself by forming new skin cells. Your skin undergoes a complete regeneration that evens out imperfection caused by boxcar, rolling or ice-pick scars. Your dermatologist can adjust the treatment intensity according to your skin type and scar condition. Through this treatment, you will notice a significant improvement in acne scars.
Plasma-rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
PRP treatment treats many conditions, including acne, and acne scars and hair loss. In the process, your doctor will draw your, usually from the arms and process it in a centrifuge machine. The machine separates the white and red blood cells from the blood and leaves pure platelets. They will inject these platelets into scar sites to promote healing and stimulate collagen and elastin growth.
Micro-Needling Radio Frequency (MNRF) Treatment
Microneedling with radiofrequency is an advanced treatment that enhances skin texture. In this process, the needles are punctured into the skin with a preselected depth. Radiofrequency is then passed through these needles to heat the dermis and epidermis. It helps in the regeneration of collagen and the production of new elastin. You get refreshed, youthful, and visibly less-scarred skin after the treatment.
Microneedling

Q Switch Laser
It is a non-invasive procedure that breaks down the skin cells using powerful laser beam pulses.
