WHAT IS ACNE SCARRING
Stress,
a poor diet, environmental pollution, and hormonal fluctuations
can all cause the skin to break out. Most of us have
had the occasional pimple erupt before a big date or
experienced "problem" skin at that time of the month.
In the worst cases, some have dealt with a serious acne
condition that required medical attention.
Even a minor blemish, if squeezed too vigorously, can
leave behind a scar. But, in the case of acne, the residual
scarring can be severe. All scars are the result of
an excess of collagen at the site of a healed wound,
but unlike other types of scars, the wounds caused by
acne occur within the dermis. So the scar is within
the skin, rather than on its surface. Post-acne sufferers
may feel embarrassed by the appearance of their scars,
and this can lead to self-consciousness, lowered self-esteem,
and awkwardness in social situations—not a pleasant
way to live!
If you have acne scars and want to lessen their appearance,
there are treatment options available that don’t
require a visit to the doctor. A chemical peel is a
topical solution applied to the skin. The peel dissolves
the epidermis or top layer of skin cells, spurring the
growth of new tissue and improving the skin’s
look and texture. Alpha hydroxy (AHA) and glycolic acids
are commonly used for this purpose; various concentrations
are applied weekly or at longer intervals to obtain
the best results. AHA and glycolic acid can also be
mixed in lesser concentrations with a facial wash or
cream, as part of a daily skin-care regimen to improve
the texture of the complexion.
ACNE SCARRING TREATMENTS
.Microdermabrasion is a procedure in which
microscopic particles are used to "sand" or
"polish" the skin. Gradually, over several
treatments, the scarred epidermal tissue is literally
polished away. As the outermost surface of the skin
is partially or completely removed by gentle abrasion,
this helps to eliminate acne scars. The turnover of
surface cells is enhanced, and the skin becomes visibly
fresher. The procedure is not painful and usually requires
no anesthetic

The microdermabrasion crystals work to remove the dead surface layer of skin cells to uncover a healthier layer of skin underneath. Personal microdermabrasion treatments work to stimulate the [...]
