Finding the right acne scar treatment can take some time and patience, as not everyone responds to the same methods. It depends on how severe your acne scars are, and what category they fall into. Regardless of which type of treatment you decide to use, it's a good idea to talk to a professional and see what they recommend. This is doubly important if your acne scars are significant. What follows is a survey of some of the best treatments currently available for acne scars.
Implementing lasers is one of the newer treatment options for eliminating acne scars. There are several types of laser treatments, but one of the most effective is the kind that uses a Fractional CO2 laser. It works by targeting the exact areas where treatment is needed and doesn't disturb the areas around the acne scars. Needless to say, this avoids any harm to the areas around the acne scars. As a result, healing is a lot faster. A majority of those who opt for this type of relief only need one treatment. There are, however, drawbacks. This type of treatment is not cheap and your recovery time may be a few days. Nonetheless, the benefits will last for several months and you will usually get positive results immediately. You can now purchase microdermabrasion kits that can be used at home to help remove acne scars. The microdermabrasion technique is basically the same method that plastic surgeons use. However, the home version is gentler and you can do it yourself. Obviously, the expense is a lot less and it's easier to do it yourself than to go to a plastic surgeon. Anyway, it's definitely something you may want to try. You simply use the machine to get rid of the surface layer of your skin - and your scars - and, as a result, new and healthy skin is exposed. When you've finished, your skin will be healthy and younger looking, and you will be rid of your surface scarring. Microdermabrasion sounds harsh, or drastic but, in reality, it's a gentle procedure and there is no pain involved. However, it may not work on deeper acne scars, as it's aimed at the outer layer of your skin.
A lot of natural remedies exist that are known to help heal acne scars and are easy to find. One of the best of these is aloe vera, a plant that has many healing properties. If you don't buy an actual plant, buy the pure gel or juice that has no other additives. Don't simply use another product that has a little bit of Aloe Vera in its ingredient list. Believe it or not, fresh lemon juice is also effective at treating acne scars. Twice a day - morning and night - rub fresh lemon juice on your acne scars. Leave it there for about 15 minutes and then rinse it off. Tea Tree Oil (melaleuca alternifolia) is famous for its healing properties. A fresh outbreak of acne, as well as scarring, can both be helped to heal by applying Tea Tree Oil.
If you have acne scarring, the above information is presented to help you be aware of your options. Small or shallow scarring will usually respond successfully to home remedies of products you can purchase on the internet or at your local pharmacy. Your dermatologist will be the best source of help to eliminate, or reduce, your acne scars if you have severe scarring. Whatever method you must use to rid yourself of this problem, be assured that, if you are diligent, you will find a solution.
