Ways To Cure Acne Scars


Acne is as such a bitter phase of life and can turn really sour if it leaves behind the scars that may not be ready to leave your face, all through your life. However, there are numerous procedures that can help you get rid of them. They have their own benefits and side-effects, and are often combined to give you the smoothest of skins. These are:

Punch Excision:
Punch Excision is a surgical method used to treat acne scars. It is used for ice-pick and deep boxcar scars. A punch biopsy tool is used in this procedure. It comes in diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. It has to be of the size of the scar, including the walls of the scar. Local anesthesia is given and the scar is excised with the punch tool. The skin edges are then sutured together. The new scar that takes shape, fades away with time. Further, resurfacing techniques can be used to make it disappear completely.

Punch Excision with Skin Graft Replacement:
In Punch Excision with Skin Graft Replacement, the scar is excised as above. The difference is that instead of suturing the skin edges together, the dent is filled with the help of a punch skin graft, usually taken from behind the ear. After the procedure, a color and texture difference may be visible. But a skin resurfacing therapy can be used after 4-6 weeks, to fix this problem.

A whole array of treatments is available to treat acne as well as acne scars but still it is always advisable to consult your dermatologist in the initial stages of acne itself, so that the situation of scars may not occur.
