If you currently experience acne or have in the past, you may have noticed scarring from deep breakouts. Acne scars can often be unwanted reminders of the breakouts and are often hard to cover up. If you struggle with acne breakouts or scars, you are not alone. Millions of Americans experience acne scars and seek treatment for deep scars, current breakouts, and a more even skin texture. Let’s look at some of the topical and medical methods available to help remedy your acne scars, giving you a smoother look and improved confidence.
The first step to treating acne and acne scars is to apply topical treatments. Retinoids and exfoliants are two topical options that can help improve skin and boost collagen production that will heal acne scars. Removing dead skin cells and boosting the growth of new ones will help fill in the small gaps that breakouts left behind. There are many different topical treatments on the market, so it is important to consult with a dermatologist or medical provider about what would be best for your skin.
The first medical treatment that can be used for acne scars is microneedling and microdermabrasion. These procedures use small needles and crystals to help exfoliate the skin and give it a smoother appearance.
Microneedling uses small punctures in the skin to promote rejuvenation of scarred skin or wrinkles. Boosting collagen is the ultimate goal of microneedling and is a minimally invasive option that can help improve the look of the skin over time.
Microdermabrasion uses crystals to exfoliate and smooth the appearance of scars. This is also a mildly invasive procedure that can help even out uneven texture. Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types and is often used for those with acne scars. Most patients need one or two treatments before they start to see better results in their acne scarring.
A more invasive treatment is laser therapy, which will target the damaged collagen and skin cells that contribute to scars. Lasers will break up the skin tissue and stimulate the creation of new skin cells to help even out your skin. Other laser treatments may also resurface the skin, removing the top layer of skin down to the scarred level, to reduce the appearance of acne scars. These treatments have a high success rate and help improve the skin color, tone, and texture for patients.
Topical treatments can help you maintain the results of more invasive procedures. Facials and chemical peels can help remove bacteria, dead skin, and heal scarring from acne. Chemical peels help to remove that top layer of skin to even out your skin texture. Different acids are used during the treatments to help reduce breakouts in the future, remove pore-clogging debris, and reduce scars.
Soft tissue fillers can also be used to smooth out your skin and improve issues like acne scars. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected underneath your skin to lift the skin and reduce contours. Fillers can help to even out your skin, especially if your scars are severe. Your medical esthetician or dermatologist can customize fillers to your unique needs to help you achieve your specific goals.
