Removing Acne Scars
Acne Scars develop if an infection develops in acne and the skin heals itself just enough to remain healthy but leaves pigmented and / or pitted marks on the affected area, they can be very difficult and dear to treat.
Most treatments for acne scars can be bought over the counter ranging from skin creams to skin needling. The most regularly used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take a long time for the results to begin to show as a big percentage of these creams don’t get absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.
An alternative gadget that can be used for acne scar removal is the collagen roller. This is a roller for microneedling; you roll the derma-roller over the scarred area of skin opening the pores of your epidermis (top layer of skin) causing it to believe that it is injured triggering the production of collagen and elastin which heals the skin over time.
After using the derma roller the pores on the top layer of skin (epidermis) remain open for as long as making this the best time to put on creams as they are a lot better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and boosts 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.
