Acne Scar Removal

Posted September 24th, 2009 by Spike

Acne Scars occur if acne becomes infected and the skin repairs itself so that it remains healthy however leaves pigmented and / or indented marks on the affected area, they can be very difficult and expensive to get rid of.

There are many over the counter ‘cures’ for acne scars ranging from skin creams to skin needling. commonly] used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take time for any improvements to start to show as a large percentage of these creams aren’t absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.

Another treatment that can be purchased for acne scar removal is the derma-roller. This is a roller for skin needling; you carefully roll the collagen roller over the scarred area of skin opening the pores of your skin making it believe that it is injured inducing the production of collagen and elastin which resulting in the damaged skin healing itself.

Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the skin remain enlarged for up to an hour making this the best time to apply creams as they are much better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and boosts the effectiveness of the derma roller.

There are other ways to get rid of acne scars however many are very expensive and have to be carried out by professionals and then they’re not even guaranteed to work! These include; Micro dermabrasion, laser treatments, chemical peals and also skin needling can be done by a professional more vigorously using a longer needle size and numbing cream.

In my experience in acne scars removal I have found that the most result effective and cost effective treatment is derma rolling at home as it is relatively cheap and as it works by inducing the healing process is the most natural way to heal acne scars.

Please consult your doctor before undertaking any medical treatment.
