Acne scars were once very difficult to reduce the appearance of, but now with recent advances in medical technology, we have alternative acne scars treatments.
The most common is ablative and non-ablative laser therapy.
Ablative therapy damages the top layer of the skin with a laser, and the body is forced to create a new layer.
Non-ablative laser therapy penetrates the skin and encourages the production of your body's Collagen and Elastin levels, but do not target the pigmentation.
Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion are braising techniques that damage the top layer of skin via a course material such as crystals or tiny metal wires, and also forces the skin to grow back a new layer.
Chemical peels do the same thing through a topical treatment of either a strong base or acid, and often leaves the skin irritated for up to ten days, making the target area a bright red.
Injections of saline are still offered, but this treatment isn't always successful, as it really just flushes the melanin concentration of the area, thus reducing the discolored pigmentation of a precise area, but not restoring the skin.
Take home products can achieve the same as a chemical peel or Dermabrasion, but since they are not done by a professional, if a complication arises from excessive application or allergic reaction, your only option is to rush to medical help.
Some natural acne scars treatments offer success through different means.
Specialist natural scar kits help treat current acne and prevent further cases by a topical treatment.
These products also can reduce the appearance and erase scars from your skin and provide a real alternative to expensive medical solutions.
