There are a number of things you
can do to get rid of acne
scars
The first
method is called Dermabrasion. This process is where a
dermatologist scrubs your face in a sanding process in order to
remove a few layers of skin. Your face will be numbed at first
before the scrubbing begins. Your face will start to scab, and
once it falls off, new skin will emerge. This method is a very
popular way to get rid of acne
scars.
Laser resurfacing is the
next method to get rid of acne scars. Laser resurfacing works
almost the same way as the dermabrasion method. A laser is used
in order to remove a few layers of damaged skin so that new
layers of skin can grow. This method is a fairly new one, and
long term effects have been studied. If you want to get rid of
acne scars, laser resurfacing is something you should look
into.
Our next method to get rid of acne scars
is called a chemical peel. This method involves acid
being applied to the top layer of skin and then removed
approximately 15 minutes later. You will encounter a
little bit of redness after this procedure, and a
recovery time of a few weeks is common.
Do you have deep pitted acne scars? If
so, this next method to get rid of acne scars is probably
the best one for you. It is called the Punch technique.
This is how the method works: A skin graft is taken from
behind the ears and placed where the scarred skin was
removed. Recovery time for this method is usually longer
than a couple weeks.
Augmentation is a common procedure to get
rid of acne scars. This method works like this: Your
dermatologist will inject 'fillers' beneath your skin to
smooth out the scarred area on your face. Instead of
collagen, your dermatologist may take fat from other
places on your body and inject it. It must be noted that
this is only a temporary solution to get rid of acne
scars. That being said, recovery time is very short,
lasting only about a day.
Another option you might want to
consider, is to use natural remedies to get rid of acne
scars.
Here are a couple options that are
recommended:
Use a cream containing cocoa butter and
vitamin E. These will help the skin repair itself over
time and help diminish you acne scars.
Lemon juice is another natural ingredient
that you can use to get rid of acne scars. Wash the scars
with warm water prior to applying the lemon juice. For
best results, wait approximately 15 minutes and then wash
off.
The last home remedy you can try in order
to get rid of acne scars, is to use olive oil. Dab 100%
olive oil onto your acne scars 4 times a day. Give this
method a try. It might not completely remove the scar,
but it will help diminish it.
Another method is to use topical
medications. These over the counter creams contain
hydroquinone, which will bleach the scar. These topical
medications have proven effective when used properly. You
should discuss medication risks with your physician
before use.
