Removing Acne Scars
Acne Scars form when acne becomes infected and the skin repairs itself so that it remains healthy but unfortunately leaves discoloured and / or indented marks on the skin, removing them is often both difficult and expensive to treat.
Many treatments for acne scars can be bought in the shops ranging from oils and creams to microneedling. Creams or skin masks are the most commonly used for treating acne scarring which can (but not always) work but take quite a while for any improvements to begin to show as a huge percentage of these creams are not absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.
Another treatment that can be purchased for acne scar removal is the collagen roller. This is a tool for micro needling; you carefully roll the dermaroller over the scarred area of skin opening the pores of your epidermis making it believe that it is damaged triggering the production of collagen and elastin which heals the skin over time.
Using the derma roller causes the pores on the skin are enlarged 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 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.
