Acne Scar Removal
Tips
By: Kerwin Chang
While acne does affect about
90% of adolescents, only a small majority of those
affected are left with scars. However, those who are
left with scars often look for acne scar removal methods
that work to remove or diminish the scars. Fortunately,
there are many options available for acne scar
removal.
Acne scar removal can be by
dermabrasion. This is a process where the top layers of
the skin are removed with the use of a machine that
literally abrades the skin. While dermabrasion does give
your skin a smoother appearance, it is not 100%
effective for acne scar removal.
Chemical peels
are another option for acne scar removal. This works
much the same as dermabrasion, but instead of machinery,
chemicals are used to remove the top layer of skin.
Again, this is not 100% effective for acne scar removal,
but it does give the skin a smoother
appearance.
Another technique for acne scar
removal is collagen injections. Collagen injections are
often used to treat wrinkles, scars, and lines.
Injections can be expensive, and will need to be
repeated on a regular basis. This is another acne scar
removal technique that doesn't actually remove the
scars. It really just hides them.
A drastic acne
scar removal procedure is Autologous Fat Transfer. This
is a process where fat is removed from other parts of
your body, and injected back into your skin. It doesn't
remove scars. Instead, it fills up depressions, such as
those that are characteristic of acne scars. Again, this
is a drastic acne scar removal method, and the process
will need to be repeated as the fat is absorbed into the
body.
Another drastic acne scar removal technique
is punch grafts. This is a process where small skin
grafts are taken and used to replace scarred skin. This
acne scar removal technique is usually used to remove
deep acne scars.
The newest - and seemingly most
effective - acne scar removal technique is Laser Skin
Resurfacing. This is a process where the acne scarred
skin is gently vaporized, with the use of a laser. Once
the damaged skin is vaporized, the new - unscarred -
skin underneath is visible. Local anesthesia is given
for small areas, but for full face acne scar removal,
the person is usually sedated with anesthesia
administered through an I.V by an anesthesiologist.
