• 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 .
