Options for Acne Scar Removal: How Drastic Should Your Method Be?

By: Trevor Mulholland

Acne scar removal techniques can range from as simple as applying an ointment to something as advanced as a surgical procedure. The type of method would depend on the scar’s level of severity. Scars are caused by severe acne. It could also be caused by a simple pimple that has been rubbed, picked and abused in so many ways by the patient’s hands. Or it could have been due to using solutions that have not been recommended by a skin expert and had resulted in adverse reactions.

Acne scar removal decisions should not be made by the patient alone. A consultation with a doctor or a skin expert must be part of the procedure. To give patients an idea what their doctors would likely recommend, here is a brief breakdown.

Topical treatments
These are for scars that are mild and have no depth or height. Faint scars, in other words. Topical creams like Retinoids and those that contain AHA can be enough to erase the marks. Take note, though, that these formulas are still stronger than your typical acne remedies, so a consultation with a doctor is still in order.

Chemicals
The procedure that commonly uses chemical formulas is skin peeling. As hinted by the term, the skin is allowed to peel by using chemicals designed to remove the damaged part of the skin. The skin is then allowed to produce a new layer to replace the removed part. However, the mark left by the peeled layer might not easily regenerate if the patient is older. This method is more appropriate for young patients whose skin has a better chance of regenerating.

Wrinkles are basically caused by a loss of moisture in the skin. When you’re born and through to your mid thirties, collagen and elastin in your skin keep it smooth and radiant. Later in life the skin’s natural renewal process slows down and these elements exist in lower quantities. Smoking cigarettes and staying in the sun for extended periods of time can speed up the process so that your skin experiences premature aging.
