Treatments For Acne Scarring
Acne scarring is a common result of the inflammation that goes with acne. The inflammation occurs as a natural reaction of your body’s immune system. The scars can be either shallow or deep, and can take several different shapes and colours.
Many treatments are available to improve the appearance of acne scarring including injections of collagen, stitching, skin grafting, and resurfacing procedures. Injections work by raising the scars to near the level of the surrounding skin. Injections are usually temporary, and last around 6 months.
Ice-pick scars can be treated by cutting and re-stitching them or by replacing them with small skin grafts. Another technique for acne scarring is dermabrasion or resurfacing with a laser. This works by removing outer layers of skin to give a smoother appearance.
