Acne scar removal, are techniques which most people who have had acne are very interested to know about and to see how affective the methods are. Though prevention would have been better than cure, if there is a positive method of acne scar removal, it would be very encouraging for most people who have scars left from acne.
The scars that are caused by acne vary from one to the other and some are deep while others have only superficial scarring. Acne scar removal will depend mainly on how deep they are. There are many different ways of removing the scars caused by acne. Some of the methods are discussed here;
The scars are usually deep pits that are formed in the region of the pimples and collagen injections help to fill these pits out so that the skin is stretched and smoothened out. This method can only be used for soft and superficial scars as a acne scar removal and not for the deeper ones. Another problem with collagen treatment is that it has to be repeated after a few months.
For deeper scars autogous fat transfer is a method where the fat is taken from another part of one's own body and injected into the scarred tissue. Here again as the fat will get absorbed into the skin after a year or so the procedure has to be repeated.
One of the most effective ways of treating scars is dermabrasion. The skin is removed with a high speed brush under localized anesthetic in the area. However this cannot be used for ice pick scars and for persons with a dark skin as they will show changes in the pigmentation of the area. Something similar to dermabrasion is microdermabrasion which again removes the skin on the surface but not with high speed brushes but with aluminum oxide crystals. This is not very effective in removing scars unless they are very shallow.
Recon-touring the scar with laser treatment is another method for removing acne scars. An invasive method of removing scars is skin surgery. In this method the scars are removed individually and the skin sutured or grafted to heal the holes that are caused when the scar is removed. Skin grafting and surgical removal of keloids is the most extensive method of treatment for scars caused by acne.
However, once a person realizes that they are suffering with acne they should start immediate treatment and preventive methods instead of allowing the scars to be deep and disfiguring. This way there are more chances of healing the scars completely with much simpler methods. If however, the scars have become very deep then it is always better to seek the help of a dermatologist instead of treating it with home remedies. The sooner the treatment is started the more effective will it be. So the moment you suspect that you might have acne get started on getting it cleared and do not wait for it to become a chronic condition of the skin. This way it will be much easier to deal with acne scar removal.
