Removing Acne Scars

Acne Scar Removal

Acne Scars form when acne becomes infected and the skin repairs itself just enough to remain healthy but leaves pigmented and / or pock marks on the skin, they can be very difficult and expensive to get rid of.

Most treatments for acne scars can be purchased in the shops ranging from skin creams to micro-needling. Creams or skin masks are the most commonly used for treating acne scarring which can (but not always) be affective but take a long time for any results to start to show as a big percentage of these creams are not absorbed by the skin. Creams are, therefore, wasted and so are not economical.

An alternative treatment that can be bought to treat acne scars is the collagen roller. This is a tool for skin needling; you gently roll the skin roller over the scarred area of skin which opens the pores of your epidermis causing it to believe that it is damaged triggering the production of collagen and elastin which heals the skin over time.

Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the top layer of skin (epidermis) remain open for as long as making this the best time to use creams as they are significantly better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and heightens the effectiveness of the derma roller.

There are more extreme methods to get rid of acne scars however these are all expensive and have to be carried out by professionals and then they’re not even guaranteed to work! These include; Micro dermabrasion, laser treatments, chemical peals and also skin needling can be done by a professional more vigorously using a longer needle size and numbing cream.

In my experience in treating acne scars I have found that the most result effective and cost effective treatment is derma rolling at home as it is relatively cheap and as it works by inducing the healing process is the most natural way to heal acne scars.
