Acne vulgaris, which is localized on open areas of the skin (face, neck, upper body), negatively affects the psycho-emotional state of patients.
The latest report from the experts of the Global Acne Improvement Alliance emphasizes the importance of treating acne as a chronic disease that has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients and requires active therapeutic approaches.

Clinical manifestations of acne and post-acne
Observations of recent years show that acne is predominantly characterized by long chronic course with frequent exacerbations.
Severe deep forms of dermatosis cause the development of stable cicatricial changes in the skin (post-acne), which is the cause of psycho-emotional disorders in patients, a decrease in the quality of life, a deterioration in learning, working capacity and social activity.

Found that acne − is a chronic relapsing disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which is characterized by:
- hyperproduction of sebum (seborrhea);
- disturbances in the processes of follicular keratinization (keratinization of the follicular epithelium);
- colonization of Propionibacterium acnes;
- inflammation.
Clinically acne manifests itself:
- non-inflammatory elements of the rash (comedones);
- inflammatory elements: papules (nodules), pustules (pustules), cysts and nodes;
- consequences of acne in the form of scars (post-acne).
Depending on the nature of the skin rash distinguish between:
- comedonal forms of acne (acne comedonica);
- papulo-pustular forms of acne (acne papulopustullosa);
- nodular forms of acne (acne nodosa, acne conglobata).
If superficially located papulo-pustular acne disappears without a trace, then deep nodular forms of acne, after their regression, leave persistent cicatricial and atrophic skin changes (post-acne).
Mechanisms of post-acne formation
Post-Acne, otherwise called traces after acne, − these are persistent changes in the skin that appear after acne.
One or more precipitating factors contribute to the formation of scars or pigmentation.
Basic techniques for correcting superficial wrinkles
These include:
- Long-lasting acne.
Acne that lasts for several years is much more likely to leave marks behind.
In this case, inflammatory changes attack the delicate skin of the face for a long time and, thereby, disrupt regeneration processes and cause irreversible changes in the skin structure.
- Severe acne.
With moderate to severe acne, deep inflammatory elements form on the face − purulent nodes, cysts, boils.
They almost always cause scars as they affect the basal layers of the skin and disrupt the epidermal repair process.
Post-acne more often appear in people who neglect proper skin care and disinfection, in people with concomitant dermatological diseases, diabetes and other types of metabolic disordersstv.
Post-Acne Correction Techniques
1. Treatment of the dermal layer of the skin (invasive techniques):
- Redermalization (intralesional injections of unstabilized hyaluronic and succinic acids);
- Intradermal injection of collagen;
- PRP therapy.
2. Improvement of tissue trophism (hardware techniques):
- electrophoresis;
- phonophoresis;
- micro currents;
- ablative fractional thermolysis;
- PF therapy.
3. Removal of damaged skin:
- peelings (superficial, medium, deep);
- mechanical dermabrasion;
- skin resurfacing with microcrystals;
- photorejuvenationno.

Possibilities of redermalization for post-acne treatment
Redermalization – is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the quality of the skin by increasing its regenerative potential.
The company Hyalual has developed unique preparations for redermalization procedures to combat post-acne, the mechanism of action of which is based on technology Double Synergic Effect, which includes the synergistic action of molecules of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and succinic acid (sodium succinate).
Hyaluronic acid as part of the preparation directly has an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators, thereby improving the prognosis of acne treatment and reducing the severity of the inflammatory process.
At the same time, a slight volumizing effect of hyaluronic acid in the composition of products of the company Hyalual is used to correct hypotrophic scars and provides mechanical support to tissues.
Succinic acid is a natural cell metabolite because:
- participates in the Krebs cycle;
- prevents membrane damage;
- has antioxidant properties.
Its presence in company Hyalual preparations for post-acne treatment has a noticeable whitening effect in hyperpigmentation, and also stimulates the synthesis of major structural proteins, which plays a significant role in improve skin quality.
