Acne scars are the marks left behind after an acne breakout has healed. They can take the form of deep pits, raised bumps, or discoloration of the skin. Acne scars occur when the skin is not able to heal properly after an acne breakout, and the body produces too much or too little collagen in the affected area.
There are several different treatment methods available for acne scars, including:
- Topical creams: These can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by
promoting collagen
production and improving the overall texture and tone of the skin.
- Chemical peels: A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes
the top layer of skin to
peel off, revealing smoother, clearer skin underneath. This can help to reduce
the appearance of acne scars.
- Microdermabrasion: This is a procedure that uses a diamond tip wand to
remove the top layer of dead
skin cells, which helps to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of scars.
- Laser therapy: This involves using a laser to target the affected area
and stimulate collagen
production, which can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars.
- Dermal fillers: Injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) or
collagen-stimulating fillers into the scarred
area, can help to fill in the indentations, smoothen them out and make them less
noticeable.
- Subcision: It is a procedure where a needle is inserted under the skin to
release the fibrous bands
that are pulling down the scar.
