Laser treatments are a fairly new method for removing acne scars. There are several types of laser treatments, but one of the most effective is the kind that uses a Fractional CO2 laser. This is a new type of laser that's able to pinpoint the exact area that needs treatment, while not affecting the surrounding skin. Healing is a lot faster and the surrounding tissue isn't damaged. Many people have reported successful results after just receiving one laser treatment. Drawbacks exist, of course. Recovery will take a few days and the cost can be expensive. However, it's a treatment that can give you immediate results, and improvements continue for several months afterwards.
If you need a way to conceal your acne scars, do what a lot of people do - cover them with makeup. Makeup offers an effective, temporary, solution to conceal your acne scars but the application has to be repeated daily. However, it gives you an option until such time as you can find another solution. It's possible to successfully remove, or reduce, most acne scarring; however, there are cases where the scars are stubborn and not responsive to treatment.
Some folks with severe acne scars can't afford to have them surgically removed at this time and, unfortunately, their scarring is such that it doesn't go away using home remedies. High quality makeup can be used until you're able to get your scars removed. One of the best types of makeup for this purpose are the mineral based makeup lines. They have a natural appearance and treat your skin gently.
There are several different products on the market to help get rid of an acne outbreak, but there are also any number of products that are made to reduce or eliminate scars. The main ingredients in these scar-removal products are usually Vitamin E, aloe vera, a retinoid such as retinol, and Vitamin C.
However, don't expect these products to do any good on severe acne scarring. They are mainly beneficial for shallow, or slight, scars. If you can find some reviews of the products you are interested in, that have been written by actual users of the product, that will tell you which ones are the most effective. Be realistic in your expectations, however. Don't expect an OTC cream or lotion to be successful on severe scarring. You should carefully consider your options before deciding on any type of acne scar treatment. If you really want to learn the very best option for your combination of acne type and severity, it's a good idea to visit a dermatologist. Keep a positive outlook as you search for the right solution for removing, or reducing, your acne scarring. There is a solution.
