TREATMENT FOR DEEP ACNE SCAR
OTC Products - The choice of over-the-counter products should depend on the type and severity of your acne. If you are not sure which one to select, talk with your dermatologist. Mild acne scars take up to six weeks to vanish. If the over-the-counter products don’t work, talk to your doctor again and he or she will recommend a stronger treatment for scars, possibly even creams based on retinoids. These type of product are used to prevent acne flare-ups and to promote the shedding of skin cells in and around the scars. Chemical Peels - The next level in acne scar treatment is the chemical peeling of your skin. Glycolic, salicylic or lactic acid is used to peel away the damaged top layer of the skin and trigger the formation of a new and smoother layer. This procedure can be beneficial even for active acne. Peels are usually performed over a period of weeks or months and are most effective against pigmented scars. Dermabrasion/Laser - The second type of acne scars is more commonly treated with dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. Dermabrasion means that the top layer of the skin is removed with the help of a high-speed rotary wire brush or diamond-coated stone. This procedure requires more than one session for each scar and has the downside of not removing the scar at all. It simply makes it less visible. A better treatment for scars is the laser resurfacing of the skin. Similar to the effect of sun exposure, doctors use the concentrated light of the laser beam to burn off a smaller or bigger part of the top layer of the skin. Many dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons recommend this procedure over dermabrasion. Zenmed Scar Treatment Kit - This product works on not only acne scars and hyperpigmentation, but also fine lines and wrinkles. The triple-acid helps to gradually diminish imperfections on the surface of the skin and the dead skin cells are sloughed off.
