What are the best acne scarring treatments?
There are several types of acne scar treatments
each with its unique function and each aimed at treating
different types of acne scars. If you have multiple acne
scars and still experience acne breakouts, the best
approach is first to stop acne formation while
accelerating the healing of existing lesions and wounds
and thus reduce additional acne scarring.
Several of the best acne scarring treatments
available on the market are as follows: an antioxidant
face gel that is rich in herbal extracts and helps lift,
repair and tone the skin. For blemished acne scarred
skin you can use the Manuka face cream, which is a light
moisturizer with antiseptic manuka honey, balancing
cedarwood and soothing lavender. There is the neem oil,
which kills bacteria and contains high fatty acids that
are excellent at reducing acne scars. There is also the
famous Rosa mosqueta oil, a natural therapeutic oil,
rich in essential fatty acids that I have chosen as one
of the best acne scar treatments. Rosa Mosqueta has the
potency to reduce scar tissue even after the spots have
long gone. This oil also maintains the freshness and
texture of the skin and makes it even toned and
smooth.
Because most acne scars fade away in time (like Post
inflammatory pigmentations), the above acne scarring
treatments can certainly help. That said, some acne
scars are more resistant and the only way to treat them
is by using cosmetic professional acne scar treatment or
surgical intervention.
Collagen injection is an effective acne scaring
treatment where skin collagen is injected under the skin
and is suitable for soft scars, which are either shallow
or deep.
Microdermabrasion is another good acne scarring
treatment that works for mild scarring by scraping the
external top layer of the skin, thus stimulating and
enhancing new cell growth.
Laser resurfacing is a very effective acne scarring
treatment where laser is used to flatten and resurface
the skin layer. The problem with Laser resurfacing is
that it can cause increased redness, infection and even
aggravated scars.
MSM and Alpha lipoic acid have been used for reducing
red marks with great success. Ice pick scars are treated
by dermabrasion or laser resurfacing while flat or thin
scars usually require Collagen injections. Keloids acne
scars are usually treated with steroid injections,
pulsed laser treatment combined with carbon dioxide
laser vaporization.
Another effective approach to treat acne scarring is
by changing one?€™s diet to help accelerate wound
healing, to speed up the renewal of damaged skin tissue
and thus allowing scars to heal faster. It seems that
high fat diet, as recent experiments on rats show, can
cause higher rates of inflammation, slowed cell repair
and impaired blood synthesis as compared to the control
rats. Therefore, substituting high-fat foods with
reduced fat alternatives can have a significant positive
impact on the process of wound and scar healing. The
quality of the food that you eat also has its effect on
the wound repairing process of the skin. It seems that
daily intake of Vitamin A,E and zinc can also have
dramatic effect on cell repair.
However, the best and probably the cheapest way to
avoid all the costs and side effects of acne scarring
treatments is to stop the internal cause of acne first.
The holistic way has been proven to fix the internal
cause of acne by neutralizing the internal acne
environment that leads to acne formation. By preventing
future breakouts, you are also preventing any additional
scarring. This will enable you to focus on reducing the
existing acne scars you might have using the best acne
scarring treatments discussed in this
article.
