Best Treatment to Eliminate Acne Scarring

If you have ever had acne, whether it was during your teenage years or well into adulthood, you have probably developed scarring from those acne lesions. Acne scarring is a common problem and can be difficult to treat. If you’re looking for ways to eliminate acne scars, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we’ll talk about what causes acne scars and how to get rid of them for good.

Causes of Acne Scarring

Let’s talk about acne first! A variety of different factors cause acne.

These include:

  • Overproduction of sebum, which is the oily substance that lubricates and protects your skin from drying out.
  • Hormone imbalances can cause excess production of sebum and hormones that cause acne
  • Genetics and ethnicity. Certain races are more prone to developing acne than others.
  • Bacteria can come from dirty makeup brushes or unwashed pillowcases.

Wherever the acne comes from, it frequently can lead to scarring depending on how large the lesion is, what it was treated with, and if it leaves behind pigmentation. Scarring occurs when inflammation and trauma lead to healing of the area and collagen is produced. Collagen can continue to replicate and it causes the newly healed skin to become lumpy or a “scar”. Picking of the acne lesion can lead to an increase in inflammation and an increase in the size of the scar.

The 6 Best Ways of Acne Treatment

Let’s talk about the good stuff, how to get rid of acne scars!

1. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion involves removing the top epidermal layers of skin using an abrasive device such as the DiamondGlow machine. The DiamondGlow machine exfoliates the very top layer of the skin and then infuses serums into the skin to heal and balance the skin. This method is usually used for mild-to-moderate acne scarring. Microdermabrasion takes 30–40 minutes to complete, and the patient’s skin will be slightly red to pink for several hours following the treatment.

2. Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is another popular treatment for acne scars and other blemishes. It uses high-intensity light pulses to destroy small areas of damaged skin cells without damaging surrounding healthy cells. Broad Band Laser therapy or Moxi laser treatment effectively treats scarring through light therapy and improvement of scar texture and pigmentation. This treatment can be used alongside other treatments such as dermabrasion or chemical peels to provide better results.

3. Microneedling

The microneedling procedure involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin that trigger the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis layer of your skin. The result is a more even skin tone and softer texture while treating active acne lesions simultaneously.

4. Radio Frequency (RF) + Micro-needling

RF technology uses heat from radio waves to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, killing bacteria and reducing inflammation. RF therapy also helps improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and stimulate collagen production. It’s a combination of RF plus microneedling that gives you better results than either method alone.

5. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers treat acne scars using hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections. Dermal fillers help in softening deep acne scars, which are caused due to healing of acne lesions. The hyaluronic acid dermal filler helps fill up these deep holes or depressions left behind by acne lesions to produce a smoother skin surface after healing acne spots.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used in treating acne scars as they have been found effective in reducing the depth and size of pits and also help in smoothing out roughness on your skin surface caused due to inflammation associated with your acne eruptions.

6. Chemical peeling

Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure that uses a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of the skin. The most common form used in acne treatment is glycolic acid.

The process involves applying a chemical solution to the skin and letting it penetrate for about 20 minutes. Then the layer of dead skin cells that have been removed is washed away using water or an alcohol solution.
