Acne Scar Treatments
Friday, February 15th, 2008
There are several treatments available to treat scars brought about by acne. Two types of acne scar treatment lead the way: the surgical and the non-surgical treatment.
Surgical Acne Scar Treatment
These treatments are expensive, but they can certainly do a good job in improving your skin by removing those ugly acne scars. Several surgical treatments include:
Microdermabrasion. This treatment uses fine aluminum crystals to produce a dermabrasion effect leading the skin to peel. It improves the skin tone and helps mild acne scars.
Photorejuvenation. This treatment will produce new collagen to form.
Scar revision. This treatment is recommended for those with severe acne scars.
Laser Treatments. This is considered as the most expensive of all surgical acne treatments but is definitely the most guaranteed way of removing scars for those suffering severe acne scars.
Non-Surgical Acne Scar Treatment
If you don’t have enough money, like most of us, there are still ways of removing our scars effectively, and listed below are some of them:
Topical Creams. They smooth out minimal acne scarring by encouraging collagen production.
Chemical Peels. These can improve skin tone while peeling the skin to reveal fresh, new skin underneath.
Skin Fillers. This is injected into depressed scars to elevate it to normal surrounding skin level.
Camouflage / Make-up. The least expensive option, you can always use make-up to hide your skin’s flaws. A good concealer usually does the trick, for those with mild scarring.
