Chemical peels
Mild scarring can be treated with chemical peels. To promote cell turnover and expose a smoother, less wavy complexion, the chemical solution dissolves the top layer of skin.
People with lighter skin types respond to this therapy better. Chemical peels are often performed by aestheticians.
A glycolic acid peel may be more efficient if your skin is darker.
Acne and skin pigmentation on the face can both be effectively treated with azelaic acid.
No matter what color your skin is, you should always use sunscreen and reapply after being in the sun since peels make the skin particularly susceptible to light and ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Subcision
Another popular cosmetic procedure for treating acne scars is subcision. It entails pricking your skin with a tiny needle to separate the acne scar from the underlying tissue.
This is particularly useful for scars that are depressed or indented.
This enables the skin to raise and lessen the prominence of the acne scar. It is done at a dermatology or aesthetics clinic.
Punch excision
In order to treat acne scars, a surgical instrument that is the same size as the scar is used.
The scar is removed using the instrument as the name suggests, and it is then sewed up. It’s one of the greatest methods for getting rid of these deep scars, such as ice pick or boxcar scars.
For further information, go to a dermatologist or aesthetics clinic.
Microneedling
Numerous different scar types can be treated with microneedling.
The procedure pricks the skin with tiny needles to form tiny channels, as the name suggests. This encourages the synthesis of collagen, which helps to reconstruct the skin and lessen the visibility of scars.
Microneedling is frequently provided in dermatological or aesthetic clinics.
Medicated creams
The sort of scar you have may allow a specialist to recommend a cream. Some creams available exclusively by prescription could work better than creams you can purchase over the counter.
To reduce irritation and swelling, these products frequently include a topical steroid or a high-strength retinoid.
