Acne scarring is an unfortunate reality for many people who have had acne for a while and have finally been able to get rid of it, but found out that some nasty, permanent scars are left in place of the acne!

This is quite an unfortunate occurrence, and can be caused by a number of things, such as picking at acne scabs consistently or having a severe outbreak of acne that went horribly wrong, or just due to prolonged acne suffering. Fortunately however, treatment methods do exist to alleviate acne scarring and make the skin smooth like it was before.

 Treatment of Acne Scars

There are a number of treatments out there to battle acne scars. While none of them really give instant results, they can significantly decrease scarring or eliminate them over time, depending on the severity. The idea behind acne scar treatments is that new cells will replace old damaged cells. There are some topical scar treatments that start this process through the creation of healthy skin cells. There are many over the treatements, but it is best to consult a doctor if you are looking for a deep acne scar product. Determining the best acne scar treatment varies from person to person depending on a lot of factors, including the severity of the scar, allergic reactions to treatment, availability of funds and their own body’s response to the treatment.

I am suffering from acne scars more than two years. I have tried several treatments but it not works.

I’ve read of the Fraxel Laser Treatment offered by the Belo Medical Group. Can anyone give me a price range? I have mild to moderate acne scarring.

We’ve all probably had it at one time or another acne. Unfortunately, even after the breakouts stop the remnants remain. Thanks to research and technology, there are quite a few acne scar treatment options available to diminish and even erase acne scars away. Treating acne scars can be quite pricey depending on what type of acne scar treatment is recommended for you by your dermatologist. For old acne scars that resulted from a more severe case of acne, several acne scar treatments or a combination thereof, may be required to get the desired results. A professional dermatologist is the most knowledgeable about what types of acne scar treatments are best, and can make recommendations on how to get rid of those acne scars forever!

Most acne scar treatments require clear skin before treatment begins, so this is the first issue that must be addressed. If you haven’t done it already, make an appointment with your dermatologist to get started. Every person must be evaluated individually and treated on a case by case basis, and what works for one may not work for another. Antibiotics and acne cremes are most commonly prescribed first to clear the skin and prevent further breakouts. Once skin has healed acne scar treatment can begin. Some common acne scar treatments are lazar removal and dermabrasion, which are quite effective for removal of shallow scars. For mild cases a chemical peel may be all that is needed. Deeper acne scars may require punch techniques first, and then laser treatments. Most cases will require one or more treatments, or a combination of treatments to achieve the desired results. Most acne scar treatments can be performed quickly and with minimal discomfort right in the office.

Until now I have had mild acne but nothing that left any permanent scars. About 3 months ago, I started having really bad breakouts on my forehead and it left a few scars. Normally, I would just apply cocoa butter to the scars and they would eventually go away but I have had these scars for two months and I have seen little to no improvement. Does anyone know of a good acne treatment for African Americans? Preferably something that shows quick signs of improvement.

My face is fairly clear and because of that the couple of acne scars I have are very noticeable. I’d like to know of a treatment that can make these ugly marks go away. Do you guys know of where I could get ahold of a good treatment? Maybe at Sephora?

I was wondering if Zenmed’s Acne Scar Treatment works for ice pick scars or works in general? Thanks.
