>> 80% of young Brazilians suffer from the problem and desire a more beautiful and harmonious skin.

The winter has arrived and is undoubtedly the best time to treat scars and spots caused by acne, as the weaker sun allows for deeper treatments that require less exposure to sunlight.

The Ministry of Health (MS) reported that acne is present on the skin of 80% of Brazilians between 15 and 25 years old. More common in adolescence, the problem can, however, manifest from childhood to adulthood.

According to dermatologist Thaiz Rigoni, the problem should be treated throughout the year, but winter is a crucial time as it allows us to perform more invasive treatments.

"It is the best time to carry out various treatments to improve the appearance of skin affected by acne. Treatments with medications and basic care should not be overlooked, such as maintaining a good and balanced diet, using specific soaps to remove facial oiliness, and using drying products," she said.

The aesthetic pharmacist from Clínica Copelli, Luciana Costa, stated that it is in winter that some treatments should be performed to make acne-affected skin more beautiful, harmonious, and silky. One example is chemical peeling, which helps to eliminate or lessen, depending on the case, acne scars, open pores, oiliness, and different types of spots, as depending on the type of acne, the skin develops spots known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leaving darker spots on the skin.

"Stimulating the appearance of collagen and elastin associated with other lightening and rejuvenating substances helps improve the appearance of skin affected by acne. Microneedling is a good solution and is also highly recommended to be performed in winter," said aesthetician and cosmetologist Dyeniffer Macedo, also from Copelli.

Microneedling is performed using a pen or roller that causes micro-ruptures in the skin, stimulating an inflammatory and reparative response that consequently acts on the formation of new skin tissues, improving scars, spots, and stimulating collagen.

Regarding scars, Dr. Thaiz Rigoni mentioned that ablative laser is also a good option. It removes part of the epidermis and precisely and safely controls the depth of dermabrasion.

Luciana from Copelli said that to improve the appearance of scars, a treatment that has been very helpful and bringing positive effects is collagen biostimulators.

"Acne scars can be improved with the use of collagen biostimulators, as they help increase collagen production in the skin and thus improve the appearance of scars, and on top of that, they create a collagen bank preventing aging," she said.

There are many solutions. The important thing is to take advantage of the season, seek a qualified professional, and carry out the treatments at the right time. This way, it is possible to ensure not only good results in controlling the problem but also a good recovery and beautiful skin.
