Scar Reduction

There is no easy way to treat acne scars, and they can be a source of emotional distress for some people. Acne scars can be reduced using the following treatment options:

• Topical treatments : Topical creams containing Vitamin C, retinoids, or hydroquinone can help lighten pigmentation and increase collagen production to improve acne scars.
• Chemical peels : This procedure removes the top layer of skin and reduces the appearance of acne scars by using glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid.
• Microdermabrasion : Microdermabrasion involves the removal of the top layer of skin using tiny crystals, causing new skin cells to grow.
• Dermabrasion : Acne scars can be reduced by removing the skin's top layer with a rotating wire brush.
• Laser resurfacing : As a result of laser resurfacing, the top layer of skin is removed and acne scars can be improved.
• Fractional laser resurfacing : This procedure uses a laser beam to create tiny wounds in the skin, which trigger the body's natural healing process.
• Fillers : Fillers can be used to improve the appearance of acne scars that are depressed
• Subcision : In subcision, fibrous bands are released from the skin that are causing depressed acne scars.
