Complete Acne Cure

After the acne has healed, there will be major scars on the areas affected by acne. The areas will be red in color or will be hyper pigmented. Usually these scars will disappear within a year. If they are seen for a longer period of time, then acne scar treatment is to be performed.

Prevention Of Acne Scars

Scars left by the acne can be avoided by preventing acne. Causes for acne and treatment required are studied to prevent acne.

Treatment For Acne Scar

Acne scar treatment and other medications can aid skin in the healing process. Acne scar leaves out many lesions on the area that is to be removed.

• Healing process of the skin is delayed by the exposure to sunlight. Hence sunscreen lotions are to be applied around the areas affected by acne scar.
• Scabs are formed on the skin around the area, which needs acne scar removal. These scabs must never be pricked with the hands or be damaged. If they are pricked, the natural healing process will be blocked and the acne scars will be prominent.
• A mixture of AHA and BHA that has appropriate concentration and pH is to be used for acne scar removal.
• Tretinoin can be used to help speed up the process of healing the areas affected by acne.

Post Inflammatory Changes And Antioxidants

Skin damages are usually caused by the use of excessive amount of free radicals. Generally, antioxidants are involved in the process of healing the acne scars. But there is no scientific or medical result, which proves that antioxidants taken orally or topically can prevent the acne scars. Vitamin E if applied over the damaged area is harmful to the skin. Though use of antioxidants to cure acne scars is yet under research, there are assumptions that antioxidants can help prevent acne scars.

Accutane Use And Acne Scar Treatment

• Punch excision
• Dermal fillers
• Punch elevation
• Laser resurfacing

• Skin graft replacement

Each method has separate techniques that provide smooth look to the affected region. All acne scars such as boxcar, ice pick and rolling can be treated.
