Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly. But if there is a deep break in the wall of the pore, infected material can spill out into surrounding tissue, creating deeper lesions. The skin attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibers. These repairs usually aren’t as smooth and flawless as the original skin.

Why treat acne scarring?

Physical, emotional and social reasons for treating acne scars include: Improved appearance, Enhanced self-esteem, Promotion of better skin health

Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as remove excess fat.

Michel Pistor, a doctor in France, developed the technique in 1952. It was originally used to relieve pain. In the years since, it has gained popularity in the United States and other parts of the world.

• fade wrinkles and lines
• tighten loose skin
• recontour the body
• lighten pigmented skin

There isn’t a standard formula for the substances injected in mesotherapy. Doctors use many different solutions, including:

• prescription medicines like vasodilators and antibiotics
• hormones such as calcitonin and thyroxin
