Treatments Of Acne Scars








Acne scars leave their mark not only on the skin but also on the persons%26#039; psyche. With rapid developments in dermatology, treating acne scars is becoming easier. Consult your dermatologist about the best treatment for your acne scars. The choice will depend upon your medical history, the type of scar and the treatments available for that type of scarring. Some treatments are cheaper but may not give the best results. The choice therefore also depends on your budget and the kind of results you desire. Read below for the kinds of treatments available for acne scars.





Dermabrasion:


This is considered one of the most effective treatments for acne scars. In this procedure, the doctor uses a local anesthetic or freezes the skin and then uses a high-speed rotary abrader to remove unwanted surface skin. As the skin heals, it shows a brighter appearance. This procedure may remove superficial scars totally and reduce deeper scars.





Chemical Peeling:


Depending on the scar, the doctor applies a mild chemical peel on the affected skin. This slowly peels away the old skin and fresh skin surfaces. Mild scars can be treated with chemical peels.





Laser Therapy:


Different lasers are used by the doctors to give a new shape to the scarred skin by recontouring the scars. The high burst of laser may make the skin red for some time.





Soft Tissue Filling:


Collagen, which may be bovine in source or the patients%26#039; own, may be injected below the scar to lift the skin and give it a smooth appearance. As the injected collagen gets absorbed in the body over a period, further treatments may be needed after about six months. Similarly fat may be injected below deep scars for giving a skin lift. Similar to collagen filling, fat injections may need to be repeated after some months. Your doctor will advise you about that.





Skin Surgery:


Skin may have to be surgically corrected with grafting or other procedures to remove some scars.





Microdermabrasion:


In this procedure. very tiny aluminum oxide crystals are passed through a vacuum tube to scrape the surface of the skin. This procedure may have to be repeated many times. It gives a fresh look to the skin by scraping. Very mild scarring can be treated with microdermabrasion.|||chemical peels will take a long time to remove acne scars. i have been doing this for years and they%26#039;re still there. there are various types pf dermabrasion - the use of rough objects to peel the outer layer can cause bleeding. will try fraxel soon. tried obagi too but it%26#039;s better for dark spots, not pits.|||See a good dermatologist. He%26#039;ll advise you of what procedure you need to remove the scars. I%26#039;ve heard that both you mentioned are used. Good Luck to clearer skin!|||This stuff is good!
