Acne Scar Removal - Painless Acne Removal


The more severe forms of acne can leave permanent scars in their wake. The two most common types of scars are "ice pick," or pitting scars and "depressed," or crater-like scars.

Acne breakouts are caused by a variety of environmental, gene, and age factors, even stress!

Acne (whiteheads and blackheads) are caused by an infection of the skin when p.acne bacteria and oil are trapped below the skin surface.

Acne treatment and acne scar removal include lasers, chemical peels and physician grade topical skin care products. Acne removal laser treatments are relatively painless, have no down time, and are should only be administered by experienced medical staff.

There are two broad classifications for laser treatment. One is ablative or resurfacing and another is nonablative. In the former method the impinged laser radiation is absorbed by the water molecules of the cells in the affected skin surface. This absorption process is instantly followed by immediate vaporization of water from the cells causing destruction of the cells and the associated scarred cutaneous layer. Thus the damaged skin layer gets peel off and the biological process of dermal collagen production rate gets faster to cover up the area with new healthy skin. Nonablative laser techniques are noninvasive and far more effective than the former one with less downtime. It does not cause any impairment to the epidermal skin layer. In this technique the affected area is initially made extremely cool with a blast of cryogenic spray and this cooling process is instantly followed by a ray of laser beam. This heats up the sebaceous glands and triggers natural collagen formation thereby softening and flattening the deep acne scars from within without harming your skin texture.

Treatment for acne scars:

Specific dermatological procedures to minimize acne scars will be determined by your physician based on:

* your age, overall health, and medical history
* severity of the scar
* type of scar
* your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
* your opinion or preference

Acne scars are generally treated using one or more of the following treatments; Dermabrasion, Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Punch Techniques, Subcision or Augmentation. These treatments vary in price and in effectiveness. A high price does not always mean the most success for you so weigh each option and its proven results carefully.
