Acne Scar Solutions
Acne is a problem that afflicts people the world over. In many cases acne can leave behind scars on the body, which can be quite embarrassing, particularly if on the face. Fortunately though, there are many acne scar treatment options available nowadays. These treatments are available in many different forms, most often creams, pills and gels. With advances in medical science, even laser treatment and surgery are options to get rid of such ugly scars.
The most widely used of all acne scar treatment products are perhaps the numerous creams and gels that are available. The reason for this is that they are very easy to use, and can be extremely effective. In addition to this, often scars will heal themselves naturally, with no treatment needed. Such instances are very rare though. You should not sit around and wait for acne scars to take care of themselves!
Another acne scar treatment that many people adopt is to bleach the area where the scar is present with hydroquinone. For best results, bleaching is usually done in conjunction with an effective scar removal cream. This combination of bleaching and creams has been known to give astounding results. The acne scar removal cream that you choose should be based on your skin type. For instance, people with oily skin may need a different type of cream, while someone with dry skin may need a different type. You can always consult your dermatologist to find out your skin type and then decide on an acne scar removal cream.
In these times, surgery is often a good option. However surgery is considered extreme, and is usually only used when scarring is very severe. There are two different types of acne scar removal surgery methods. The first method is known as ‘dermabrasion’, in which layers of skin present on top are gradually removed with a specialized machine. This type of surgery is known to produce smoother skin.
The second option is a chemical peel. As the name suggests, in this type of surgery the top layers of the skin, which contain the acne scar are removed using chemicals. The skin which regenerates after this surgical procedure is smooth. Your doctor will consider certain aspects such as your overall health, the severity of scars and your age, before deciding on the type of surgery that you may need. One thing not to forget is to let your doctor know of any medication you are taking prior to surgery. The final modern treatment available is resurfacing using a laser. In this procedure, laser rays are used to get rid of acne scars. The final decision regarding which acne scar removal treatment to take will be made by you and your doctor.
