Scars appear to varying degrees for people after a period with acne.
For some, scars appear on the face because of a long period with the destruction of the deep tissue in your skin, very often because of severe cystic acne.
It can be tempting to press your blemishes, which is basically okay (see the guide: (see the guide: How to squeeze a pimple and solve acne). Still, you should always press on your skin carefully, so you will not cause more scarring.
The methods for treating scars on your face are very different, since it is all dependent on size and how recent the scars are.
Daily use of creams containing Vitamin A (see Danish Skin Care Moisturizers), will improve the top layer and structure of your skin, so smaller scars can be improved a little.
In just one hour a dermatologist can treat scars on your face (which is numbed or frozen) by using a rotating diamond wheel.
Although laser treatment may sound severe, it is a very safe way of treating scars on your skin, since you can easily control the penetration depth on the skin.
A laser treatment removes the skin, so that new skin can be created. Laser treatment of scars can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the scars.
A peeling with a dermatologist takes about 15 to 30 minutes, removes the top layer of your skin, and diminishes the appearance of scars.
Since a scar on the skin is like a recess (a dimple), it can be filled with a variety of injections –for example, collagen.
The effect of collagen injections is instant, does not take very long, but is only temporary.
Injections with salt water is also possible, since that will make the skin produce more collagen. But it takes between four and eight injections to have any effect.
Finally, there is the daily peeling/exfoliation. It will not have an instant effect, but it will gradually improve the appearance of your skin. Furthermore, daily exfoliation is not as severe as the treatments mentioned above, which can be very expensive before you see a positive result.
