Is the Venus Viva or Acnexel machine more effective for acne scar treatment?

Doctor's Answers 2

Hi,

As pointed out, individual scars may require different treatments, so it is really wrong to say that TCA cross is the best treatment for acne scars. TCA Cross is really effective for ice pick scars but may not be worth the risk for rolling type scars.

Both the Venus Viva and Acnexel treatments use good technology for acne scar treatments, and are able to get some of the best results without the downtime of ablative fractional lasers like the CO2. I still use both fractional CO2 and RF/heat in my practice, but interchangeably depending on my patients' needs and demands.

I would recommend you give it a try if you are tempted, since the treatment is safely administered by doctors. The downtime should be quite minimal in comparison to some other acne scar treatments!

Hope this helps!

You can refer to this guide for the most effective acne scar treatments in Singapore.

As explained in the post, the treatment which produces the best results really depends on the type of acne scar, as well as your skin type. It also often requires a combination approach with different treatment modalities.

Can acne scar treatments be combined in the same session?

Subcision can be combined safely with any of the more superficial treatments, be it Co2 fractional laser, Intracel/microneedling rF and TCA Cross. However I would be concerned if you do too many treatments on the surface (TCA + Intracel) as healing may potentially be impaired. Further more, TCA Cross downtime (socially) can be as long as 2 weeks or more. you may find that unacceptable as well.
