Acne scars can be a frustrating and persistent reminder of past skin issues, often affecting your confidence long after breakouts have healed. Fortunately, advanced medical aesthetic treatments are available to target even the most stubborn acne scars. At Tulua, we specialize in combining Virtue RF Microneedling with Tetra CO2 CoolPeel to effectively treat acne scars and improve overall skin texture, offering safe and lasting results for all skin types.

Virtue RF Microneedling: Collagen Stimulation at its Best

Virtue RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the added power of radiofrequency (RF) energy. This treatment works by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen production. The RF energy enhances this process by delivering heat deeper into the skin, further promoting skin tightening and scar reduction.

How it Treats Acne Scars: Virtue RF Microneedling is highly effective for treating acne scars by breaking down scar tissue and encouraging the formation of new, healthy skin. As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes smoother, and the appearance of acne scars is dramatically reduced. This treatment is also beneficial for improving overall skin tone, reducing fine lines, and tightening sagging skin.

Tetra CO2 CoolPeel: Advanced Resurfacing for Smoother Skin

The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel laser is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that specifically targets the outer layers of damaged skin. By using fractional CO2 technology, CoolPeel removes dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, leading to a reduction in the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation.

How CoolPeel Enhances Acne Scar Treatment: CoolPeel works synergistically with RF microneedling by refining the surface of the skin, smoothing texture, and reducing scar visibility. The laser treatment provides the finishing touch after microneedling by exfoliating damaged skin and promoting the growth of fresh, healthy tissue. Together, these treatments address both the deeper layers and the surface of the skin for comprehensive acne scar reduction.

Why Virtue RF and CoolPeel Are a Winning Combination

At Tulua, we recommend combining Virtue RF Microneedling with Tetra CO2 CoolPeel for the best possible results when treating stubborn acne scars. By pairing these two treatments, we address scarring on multiple levels: microneedling targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and break down scar tissue, while CoolPeel resurfaces the top layer of skin for smoother, more even texture.

Key Benefits of Combining These Treatments:

Dual Action for Scar Reduction: While microneedling works deep within the skin to repair scars, CoolPeel exfoliates the surface, resulting in smoother skin.

Increased Collagen Production: Both treatments stimulate collagen, which helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of acne scars over time.

Safe for All Skin Types: Both Virtue RF and CoolPeel are safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which may be more prone to hyperpigmentation with traditional treatments.

Minimal Downtime: While traditional CO2 lasers can require significant downtime, CoolPeel delivers results with far less recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily routine quickly.

Safety and Efficacy for All Skin Types

One of the standout features of both Virtue RF Microneedling and Tetra CO2 CoolPeel is their safety and efficacy for all skin types. Many laser and resurfacing treatments are limited to lighter skin tones due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin. However, both Virtue RF and CoolPeel offer safe, effective treatment options for Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI.

Virtue RF Microneedling delivers RF energy in a controlled manner, making it safe for treating deeper skin tones without causing excess heat or damage.

Tetra CO2 CoolPeel uses fractional CO2 technology that delivers less heat to the skin, reducing the risk of pigmentation issues and making it an excellent option for darker skin tones as well.

What to Expect from Your Treatment

Both Virtue RF Microneedling and CoolPeel treatments are non-invasive with minimal discomfort. You can expect some redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. Most patients notice a visible improvement in the texture of their skin after just one session, though a series of treatments are typically recommended for the best results.

After your treatments, you’ll notice:

Improved skin texture and smoother skin

Reduction in the appearance of acne scars

Evened-out skin tone and reduced pigmentation

Increased firmness due to enhanced collagen production

I am a very low-maintenance person and am usually taking care of my kids’ needs before my own. But! I received a Hydrafacial at Tulua and it was AMAZING! My skin felt buttery soft afterward and had a natural, dewy glow. Since the facial, my skin looks plumper (I think that’s how you describe it 🤪). I will be getting another Hydrafacial in the near future. This is going to be one thing that I’m going to make into a routine for me!
