Acne is known to leave some very visible scars. Depending, on the intensity of the acne you suffered from these scars can either be slightly visible or very visible. Scaring is also often caused because you've picked at or forcibly scratched the area. However, the good news is that the majority of acne scars can be treated returning your skin back to its original texture. If you suffer from acne from time to time it is important to remember that prevention is better than treatment. This means that you should avoid picking or squeezing your pimples, plus keep your hands away from areas which have acne. By squeezing your acne you are not only causing scaring but also injecting a lot of the infected matter deeper which worsens the problem.
There are a number of different acne scarring treatment options out there which you can try, but after you have consulted with a doctor. The methods of treatment can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and the healing can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few months. Some side effects of these treatments may include flakiness of the skin, dryness, scabbing, swelling, redness, bruising, and an uneven skin tone.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is one of the best acne scar treatment methods but only works for scars which are closer to the surface of the skin. During this procedure the damaged skin is wiped away using a special tool with a spinning diamond edge wheels. There is a newer alternative to this method called laser resurfacing. With a laser it is easier to control the depth of the penetration as compared to Dermabrasion. This allows for doctors to remove scars located deep under the surface of the skin.
Mild acne scarring treatment
The best way to remove or treat milder scars is to use chemical peels. These peels are usually different types of acids. These acids help to remove the top layer of skin which tends to be the most affected. Once the top layer is removed it exposes the inner more smother layer.
In order to remove scars located deeper under the skin a punch type technique is used where by a scar is removed via minor surgery. Skin grafting and also suturing is required for this procedure.
Subcision
This is a surgical method that removes the scar from deep within the surface of the skin by breaking up the tissue. When the tissue under the skin is broken it results in a blood pool right under the scar. The blood clot then helps to form connective tissue under the scar and levels it with the surface.
Collagen fillers
Collagen fillers are used to fill in all the furrows and the fissures. The collagen makes the scars less visible. However, this form of treatment may only work for already less noticeable scars
