Proven Acne Scarring Treatment

There are several procedures that can be utilized to clear acne scars and each procedure has its own risks and benefits, and some procedures are normally combined to create the smooth appearance to the skin. Dermal fillers are one of the common procedures, which can be injected into acne scars to elevate the surface of the skin to give a smoother look. The examples of dermal fillers are fat, bovine collagen, human collagen, hyaluronic acid derivatives, and polytheyl-methacrylate microspheres with collagen; however, the injection of these materials does not permanently correct acne scars, so you must go with further injections.

Punch excision method of surgically correcting acne scars is normally used on deep scars like ice pick and deep boxcar scars. This procedure carried out by a punch of biopsy tool which is round and sharp "cookie-cutter" tool, comes in diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. The size of the tool is depends up on the size of the scar to include the walls of the scar. Under local anesthesia the scar becomes removed with the punch tool and the skin edges are sutured together and the newly produced scar ultimately fades and may not be visible. Punch Excision with Skin Graft Replacement is the another method, in this method the scar is removed with the punch tool as above but instead of suturing the skin edges together, the defect is filled with a punch skin graft taken from other part of our body. A color and texture difference may be noticeable, after the treatment but it can be corrected by skin resurfacing technique.
