Removing Acne Scars
Acne Scars form when acne becomes infected and the skin repairs itself so that it remains healthy however leaves pigmented and / or pock marks on the skin, they are often very difficult and costly to treat.
Many treatments for acne scars can be bought in the shops ranging from skin creams to skin needling. The most regularly used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take time for any results to begin to show as a large percentage of these creams are not absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.
An alternative treatment that can be used for acne scar removal is the derma-roller. This is a roller for micro needling; you gently roll the dermaroller over the scarred area of skin which opens the pores of your epidermis (top layer of skin) causing it to believe that it is damaged activating the production of collagen and elastin which eventually heals the damaged skin.
Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the epidermis (top layer of skin) stay enlarged for as long as making this the best time to put on creams as they are significantly better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and heightens the effectiveness of the derma roller.
There are more extreme methods to remove acne scars however these are all 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 treating acne scars 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.
