Battling Acne Scars & Rejuvenating The Skin


A simple pimple can really ruin someones day, but thankfully they usually heal and we forget all about it until the next one pops up. However, there are several types of acne that leave scars that last for a few months, even years. Several treatments can be done to lower the visibility of the acne scars and improve your skins appearance but more often than not, rejuvenating your skin to the way it looked before the acne scar may be nearly impossible.

There are several different hoops to jump through in order to clear up existing acne. It is important to discuss with a dermatologist what the safest, most effective way is to conquer acne scars. As soon as the acne scars have been reduced, it's important to try a cream or gel to reduce the way the superficial scars and skin discoloration look. There are several products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, and glycolic acid that reduce the visibility of the scars and plump the skin!

Several dermatologists recommend a skin treatment such as a chemical peel or a microdermabrasion treatment. When a dermatologist does a laser resurfacing treatment, the doctor uses harmful lasers to cut away the top layer of the skin to reveal the new skin below. Microdermabrasion procedures use manual, less harmful techniques to wash away the damaged layer of skin.
