Scarring from acne in Dallas Ft Worth is a very challenging skin condition to treat. Acne scars occur during the healing of an active acne lesion. Skin is damaged as a result of compromised collagen production leaving topographic depressions.
There are also perpendicular bundles of collagen that anchor the skin of the scars. Treatment modalities capable of affecting dermal remodeling at least 1mm below skin surface are necessary to effectively treat acne scars.
Traditionally acne scar treatments include chemical peels, surgical excision, punch grafting, dermabrasion and dermal fillers. Each of these methods has varying success.
At The Paragon Med Spa in Mansfield, Texas we are exploring new and different approaches in treating acne scarring. We have seen great results when modalities are combined.
One combination that has been particularly effective at The Paragon Med Spa is Pixel laser resurfacing paired with chemical peels. Laser resurfacing is very good for stimulating new collagen production and will improve the texture of the scar. Chemical peels such as phenol and TCA can penetrate to the appropriate depth of 1mm, causing dermal remodeling at the base of the scar.
Combining modalities will always increase the efficacy of the results when compared to stand alone treatments.

Scientists have developed a new method for converting soybean oil in a highly effective biosunscreen active ingredient that could replace petroleum-derived ingredients. This new agent does not carry potential health concerns of ingredients in some existing sunscreens such as oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is a suspected hormone disruptor that could contribute to the disruption of aquatic species reproduction. The sales of sunscreens and protective skin care products have been booming and the need for a product with less adverse environmental effects is in demand. Sunscreens today constitute a relatively new family of water contaminants with adverse health effects on wildlife and people.
The sunscreen industry has focused on offering UV-B protection to prevent sunburn. Joseph Laszlo, PhD, The use of ferulic acid along with vegetable oil produces a water-resistant material capable of absorbing both UV-A and UVB light. It can also be used as an antiaging and antiwrinkle product. Laszlo says that skin ages from sun as well as air pollutants and other environmental effects.
He also believes that ferulic acid could prevent some of the damage cause by free-radical processes involved in environmental exposures. Laszlo made a presentation and his findings supported his hypothesis that ferulic acid can reduce impacts of skin sun exposure and demonstrates how agricultural materials can be used to craft safe and useful consumer products.

A recent report by Global Industry Analysts Inc reveals that the color cosmetics market will reach US $41.4 billion by 2015. The line between cosmetics and skin care is quickly fading. Products are now providing more than just color. They incorporate natural and organic ingredients such as plant extracts and vitamin E and in turn offer moisturization, UV protection, antiaging benefits and convenience. Lipstick for example offers intense color; no smudging; a wet look; and vitamins A, C and E.
