Pixigenus Laser Treatment in Delhi for Acne Scar

Between the ages of 11-30, acne is considered to be a common skin condition affecting approximately 80% of individuals.

The latest and very effective treatment for removing acne scars is DMC-Pixigenus^® Treatment. The treatment is effective in treating acne scars and improves the texture of the skin as well. It has gained popularity as a way to revive skin and increase the production of collagen and elastin that help fill in the scars, textured skin and make the skin smooth and clear. Instead of removing the complete skin layer, this treatment creates selective small perforations in the skin leaving the surrounding tissue intact which reduces the downtime of treatment and helps in skin healing faster as the epidermis regenerates.

This procedure works with the help of a beam of laser light by exfoliating the upper layer of the skin. This method also boosts collagen build-up by inflicting micro-injuries in the skin that triggers the body’s healing system.

After this, the application of growth factors is applied to the skin, which is extracted from the patient’s blood and filled with skin repair proteins. This procedure is completely safe and provides wonderful results. It is a multiple session procedure, as collagen buildup may take a few weeks. The next session will be repeated after 4 weeks. 

Ideal candidate for DMC-Pixigenus^® laser treatment

• Candidates who have deeper acne scars.
• This treatment is appropriate for any skin type ranging from light to dark skin tone.
• Age must be above 18 years.
• Candidate must be in a good state of health and mind.
• Person who’s exempted from any viral skin inflammation and platelets disorder.

Pre-operative care

• Hydration: The patient must stay hydrated which helps in promoting elasticity in the skin.
• Don’t scratch: Scratching the areas that are affected can cause more damage to the skin.
• Stop using topical skincare actives: Discontinuing the usage of topical exfoliants such as AHAs, BHAs, PHAs, and skin lightening creams 5-7 days before treatment reduces the risk of irritation to the skin during the healing process, thus reducing the risk of complications.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure: Apply sunscreen regularly. Sunscreen should be an integral part of everyone’s skincare regime. Regular application of sunscreen reduces collagen breakdown in the skin and sun-induced photodamage.

Post-operative care

• Keep the skin clean and moisturized, especially the treated areas.
• After the treatment skin may look like red or sunburn. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
• Because of cell renewing and rejuvenation, the skin may look or feel tighter than before, which is absolutely fine.
• Make sure to use a mild cleanser without acids and exfoliating particles twice a day.
• The skin may appear dry, once the redness has resolved. Apply moisturizer on dry skin.
• After the treatment, there may be shedding or scabbing of dead skin cells. Don’t pick or scratch them.
• Sun avoidance is vitally important to reduce the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
• Avoid make-up for at least 24 hours following treatment.
