CO2 Laser vs. Chemical Peels Which is Best for Acne Scars-Irvine CA- Kyle Song MD_Plastic-Surgery When it comes to achieving smooth, flawless-looking skin, you’re desperate for help. As a past acne sufferer, you wanted nothing more than to clear up your breakouts so you could stop feeling self-conscious about your skin. But now that the breakouts are gone, you’re still left with angry red marks on your skin. In fact, the acne scars still make it look like you have acne, leaving you feeling as though you’ll never have clear skin.

Fortunately, there are a number of acne scarring treatments that can help you achieve a smooth, clear, and beautiful complexion – and they’re all available at Song Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California.

CO2 Laser vs. Chemical Peels

Owned and operated by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kyle Song, Song Plastic Surgery specializes in treating the scars left behind by past acne breakouts. Dr. Song offers a number of treatments to minimize the appearance of scarring, including:

CO2 laser treatments
Chemical peels
Microneedling with PRP
High intensity focused Radio Frequency

Each procedure comes with its own particular advantages; however, when it comes down to it, which treatment is best for eliminating the appearance of acne scars?

The answer is that it depends on the age and severity of your acne scars. If you’ve recently cleared up your acne breakouts and your scars are still fresh, you may benefit more from CO2 laser treatments combined with gentle microdermabrasions. Since your scars haven’t aged for a significant length of time, the fractional CO2 laser can remove the top layers of skin tissue, thus reducing the appearance of recent acne scars. This effect can be heightened by adding microdermabrasions into your skincare regimen (this procedure needs to be performed at a separate date).

Chemical peels are also a viable option for acne scars, especially those that may be older. Chemical peels work by removing the top layers of skin, allowing newer skin to come to the surface. Chemical peels do involve some recovery, as your skin will peel and scab over from the strong treatment. However, once the scabs fall off, you’ll see a glowing, fresh complexion take their place.

Envious of the perfect complexions you see in magazines and on the red carpet? Frustrated you can’t replicate these same results with over-the-counter skincare products? We’re about to reveal a big secret: Those starlets and models have all had a little bit of help.

That’s right. Most A-listers are able to achieve their flawless complexions due to the help of chemical peels, which essentially remove dead and dull skin to reveal glowing, youthful-looking skin underneath.

And now you can get the same treatment.

Introducing Song Plastic Surgery Chemical Peels

You don’t have to be an A-lister to enjoy the same flawless results. If you’re looking for that youthful glow and spotless complexion, you can find it right at Song Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California (also serving the greater Orange County area). Owned and operated by Kyle Song, MD, Song Plastic Surgery specializes in providing highly effective, youth-enhancing chemical peels.

The most powerful of these peels is the TCA chemical peel, which can improve damaged skin and minimize the appearance of your biggest complexion concerns, including:

Acne scars
Hyperpigmentation
Sun spots
Age spots
Fine lines
Wrinkles
And more!

The chemical peel is relatively straightforward: During your session, a chemical solution will be applied to the top layer of your skin. This solution causes a blistering effect, which eventually removes any dead and dull skin from your face. After two weeks, you’ll be left with glowing and flawless-looking skin.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

If you’re opting for a chemical peel, it’s important to take care of your skin immediately after the treatment. You’ll need to wear sunscreen with a high SPF, as your complexion will be extremely sensitive to the sun.

If you opt for a gentle chemical peel, you may need a peel once every month to maintain your results. For stronger peels, you’ll only need a couple of sessions each year to maintain results; however, clients should expect that downtime will be much longer.
