• Treating Acne Scars
– If you have mild acne scarring then you can use over the counter medications. Lotions that contain vitamin C, glycolic acid, or retinol are most beneficial in reducing the scarring. These sort of lotionsincrease collagen and can help improve skin that has deep acne scars.
– A microdermabrasion treatment smooths out your skin and reduces scarring. You can buy a microdermabrasion kit for home use as well, but this should be done after consultation with your doctor. Opting for a professional treatment is always recommended.
– Chemical peels are acid based solutions that are applied to the areas affected by scarring. This removes the outer layer of the skin and stimulates the collagen repair. Several sessions would be required to notice optimal results. A series of these sessions would leave the skin looking smoother and less scarred.
– Dermal fillers are injectable hyluronic acid. This is a sort of natural sugar molecule that absorbs water and acts similar to a moisturizer. These can be injected into the skin to help smooth out the skin texture. They are, however, temporary and need multiple sessions to maximize scar repair.
