Acne Laser Treatment
Thrive Skin + Wellness is located in Holly Springs.
Forever Clear Acne Laser Treatment
We use Sciton’s Forever Clear as our acne laser treatment. Blue light kills the acne-causing bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P acnes, which can cause inflammation. Using Forever Clear eliminates the bacteria found in the oil glands in the skin. The result is less oil in the skin and less bacteria, leading to the resolution of acne in the treated areas. Thrive Skin + Wellness specializes in treating active acne (blemishes, blackheads, pimple and cystic lesions), but did you know we also provide treatment for acne scars? Customized plans can lead to drastic improvements in these areas.book a consultation

Types Of Acne Scars
There are four common types of acne scarring. Many people have multiple types of acne scars. Picking at acne lesions can cause more scarring than the acne itself, so we encourage you to avoid picking at your skin as much as possible. Ice Pick – This type of scarring is characterized by deep pits that are usually less than 2 mm across. They extend into the skin, giving the surface the appearance of having been punctured by an ice pick. Boxcar – Boxcar scars are angular scars with sharp vertical edges, and resemble Chicken Pox scars. Boxcar scars are often found on the cheeks or temples and may be shallow or deep. Rolling – Rolling scars are usually caused by damage under the surface of the skin, and will often cause the outer skin surface to look wave-like. Rolling scars often appear wide and shallow. Hypertrophic – Hypertrophic scars are raised and lumpy. They’re commonly on the back and chest, but can also appear on the neck and face. They are often the result of more severe active lesions, such as cysts and nodules.Acne Scar Correction
For the embarrassing pitted scarring and discolorations often left once active acne is under control we offer: Pixel™ Resurfacing is designed for anyone who would like to benefit from skin resurfacing without significant downtime. This treatment helps to resurface fine lines and moderate to deep wrinkles, reduce hyperpigmentation, minimize large pores. It can also reduce the appearance of acne scarring.
