5 Methods To Treat Deep Acne Scars |
|
Before knowing various
types of treatment methods to cure acne scars, you should first have
a fairly good idea about the origin, causes and types of acne scars.
Acne is a serious skin condition which appears irrespective
of any skin type, age or sex of a person. In many cases it heals
without leaving any scars, but in cases of severe, cystic and
inflamed acne permanent scars are often left out. Such scarring can
give a very old look to your skin and the skin may also lose its
elasticity over the time.
That is, the scars can also alter
your mental as well as over all personality. Generally there are two
causes of acne scars. The first is the increase in tissue formation
due to collagen build up in the skin. They are also known as keloids
scars. It is believe that keloid scars are generally genetical. The
second cause is loss in tissue formation. Such scars are more common.
Further there are several types of acne scars: ice pick scars,
atrophic macules, superficial and deep soft scars and depressed
fibrotic scars.
There are many popular methods to cure
acne scars. 5 successful methods to cure acne scars are:
CHEMICAL PEELS: These
peels are helpful for treating only the minor and small type of
scars. They are neither helpful in treating icepick scars nor the
deep rooted ones.
DERMABRASION: Dermabrasion is a
highly developed method to treat the deep rooted acne scars and when
combined with punch excision it can also treat the minor type of acne
scars. In this method the skin is physically removed, so after the
method you require appropriate rest.
LASER TREATMENT: This is a relatively
newer method to treat acne scars but is very effective. Here light
rays are passed on to your skin to kill the defective skin cells. The
method is quite successful to treat even the complex type of scars.
COLLAGEN INJECTION: This treatment is
basically meant for leveling the surface of the skin and bringing it
to the normal level. It injects protein in the human body and thus
fills the area left deep by a superficial type of acne.
AUTOLOGOUS FAT TRANSFER: Scars caused
due to nodulocystic acne are treated by this method. Here fat from
the other parts of the body are cut out and injected into those areas
where deep wholes are left due to acne.
But before going for any of these acne
scar treatments you should first consult a dermatologist. As, it is
very important to use the treatment that is best suitable for your
type of acne scars. And the skin specialist is the only person who
can offer you the best advice on this.
