Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2015 -- Many adults suffer not only from acne but from the scars caused by acne they had as a teenager, because they didn't have access to the range of acne treatments that are available to patients today. Having a face scarred by acne causes distress and embarrassment but many sufferers do not realize the range of treatments and options they have these days to reduce or remove their acne scars.

Acne scarring is the featured subject this week on Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today on webtalkradio.net, when show host, Edmonton Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka welcomes once again Dr Rebecca Baxt, board-certified dermatologist from Paramus, New Jersey, and also New York City, who specializes in acne treatment and treating acne scars.

In this in-depth interview, Dr Lycka & Dr Baxt begin their discussion with a brief summary of acne treatments available which can be used to quickly and effectively clear a patient's skin. Dr Baxt then talks through each type of acne scarring, and the treatment options that are available to deal with it. The two doctors discuss their preferred lasers and how they can deal with different aspects of acne scars. They introduce micro-needling as an alternative treatment and explain how that works on acne scars and then move onto how dermal fillers are also used. A key shift in treating acne scarring has been the use of combination treatments such as chemical peels and fillers, lasers and / or micro-needling and fillers in particular. They compare the options available to patients and conclude that there are many options that can be tailored to a patient's lifestyle, downtime requirements and budget to the extent that they can confidently change the appearance of all acne scars.
