Acne Scarring
ODE Dermatology takes a distinctive approach to addressing acne scarring. Frequently, clients may only recognise the presence of acne scarring without a full understanding of its severity, the underlying redness that accentuates pitting, and the most suitable laser treatment.
Founded on the principles of embracing cutting-edge technology and having access to expert dermal clinicians with expertise in all aspects of skin health, ODE Dermatology ensures a comprehensive approach.
The three protocols offered by ODE are meticulously tailored to address acne scarring based on its varying severity levels. Should the clinician determine a need for a different approach during your appointment, we will adjust the settings or even the equipment used to guarantee optimal results.

OVERVIEW:
This protocol is most fitting for individuals dealing with acne scarring of a Mild-Medium extent. It integrates three essential modalities with meticulously configured settings designed to address both the pitting, colloquially referred to as scarring or “holes”.
The Clearsilk Laser, a pivotal component, is employed to diminish the redness in the skin. This redness results from inflammation visible in areas where a previous blemish existed. This lingering redness, often persistent, significantly contributes to the distortion of the skin's background appearance.
The second modality is BBL (Broad Band Light) which utilises advanced light wavelengths, BBL heats the skin to effectively address acne scars. This controlled application of heat induces a beneficial form of trauma, prompting increased collagen production and simultaneously calming overactive oil glands. The outcome is a reduction in acne scarring, as the skin undergoes a rejuvenating process.
Conclusively, the third modality (machine) utilised is the Picocare 450, equipped with specific settings and handpieces tailored to target the pitting or scarring of the skin. With professional use, Picocare 450 yields impressive results by addressing scarring and restoring the skin's canvas to a more even texture. The laser delivers focused energy to break down pigmentation and scar tissue, effectively addressing the multifaceted issues intrinsic to acne scarring.

OVERVIEW:
If you've experienced a more pronounced history of acne, it has likely left a more intricate mark. The Medium-High Acne Scarring protocol acknowledges this complexity, influencing the choice of modalities (the machine) and the settings the clinician will use to treat you.
This protocol combines two modalities or machines: the Moxi 1927 laser and Clearsilk Laser.
The Moxi 1927 laser encourages collagen formation and skin renewal, reducing the appearance of acne scars over time. The controlled skin injury prompts a healing response, enhancing the texture of scarred areas by promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Paired with the second modality, the Clearsilk Laser is employed to reduce redness in the skin. This redness, stemming from inflammation in areas where previous blemishes existed, can persist, and significantly affect the overall appearance of the skin background.
KEY OUTCOMES:
• Acne scar correction
• Reduction in pigmentation
• Pore correction
DOWNTIME:
In 3-5 days, you might notice redness, swelling, and a warm feeling. It's normal for your skin to develop small, grainy-looking brown bumps during this time, but they will fade away in the following days.

OVERVIEW:
In the rare event of experiencing severe acne, there's a heightened likelihood that the resulting scarring could be equally challenging. This situation often necessitates the expertise of professionals in the science of skin, combined with advanced technology typically not found in conventional beauty clinics, to effectively address the lasting cosmetic impacts.
ODE Dermatology takes a comprehensive approach to severe acne scarring, employing two key modalities to facilitate the corrective process.
The first modality, BBL (Broad Band Light), utilizes precise wavelengths to target specific skin structures without affecting surrounding tissues. This advanced device emits controlled pulses of light energy, heating targeted areas to stimulate skin cells, kickstart the body's natural healing process, and promote collagen production. BBL's versatility and customizability ensure practitioners can tailor settings to individual needs.
The second modality employed is the HALO Laser, which uniquely blends two laser wavelengths in a single pulse, harnessing the benefits of ablative lasers for significant skin enhancement. Designed for individuals seeking profound rejuvenation and willing to undergo extended downtime, the HALO Laser's Hybrid Fractional Technology enables tailored treatments specifically addressing deep acne scarring.
Overall, the HALO Laser stands out as a customisable and versatile solution for scarring, making it an ideal choice for those prioritizing profound results and willing to accommodate a higher downtime.
KEY OUTCOMES:
•Precision in addressing acute acne scars
• Elevating the canvas through resurfacing for a renewed and fresher aesthetic
• Diminishing redness, leading to a reduction in inflammatory response
• Minimising sun damage, unveiling a consistently clear canvas
DOWNTIME:
•Expect a healing period of 5-10 days, during which your skin should return to its normal appearance. You may experience a temporary mild burning sensation, similar to sunburn. Your therapist will provide guidance on post-treatment care for the following days. It is highly recommended to avoid immediate sun exposure during this recovery period.
