|
Completely getting rid of acne is a long and tedious process. Scarring is an important aspect of acne. Long after you have successfully dealt with the problem of acne, the scars remain. Getting rid of the scars is not that easy. However, there is no need to lose heart. There are many ways to remove scars on account of acne.
The course of action depends substantially on the extent of the scars on your body. If the nature of your scars is mild to moderate, then home remedies are sufficient. There are many lotions based on alpha hydroxyl acid and retinol. These lotions are very effective for the treatment of the acne scars.
, it also depends on the type of your skin. If you have a sensitive skin type, it will be better not to use lotions based on the above ingredients. They can harm sensitive skin. There is a specific range of medications to treat people who can not undergo retinol and alpha acid treatments. The most effective among them are lavender oil, aloe vera juice and rosehip seed oil. They can heal scars without harming the skin in the long run.
Laser resurfacing is a process used to treat scars. The scar is removed by laser and new skin replaces it. This process is effective, but it can bring about unevenness of the skin color. Also, you may experience redness and swelling for some days after undergoing the treatment.
Collagen injection is another method. Collagen is injected beneath the skin which makes the scar surface up. This is a temporary solution. Dermabrasion and subcision are two of the more popular methods. The first one involves removal of the damaged skin after which new skin emerges. Subcision process requires the detachment of the scar from the deeper tissues of the dermis. The blood underneath clots and as a result the scarred area becomes even with the rest of the skin.
