Acne scars are scars that are left behind after a person has had acne. There are two types of acne scars. Pitted scars happen when the underlying skin tissue has been damaged. Pigmented scars (either red or brown) are marks left behind after the acne has cleared up. It is best to use an acne scar treatment as soon as possible after the scars appear.

Acne scars and acne pores are the marks of acne even after the acne is cured. These scars are often prominently visible on the face and therefore women get concerned. Given below is the home treatment for acne scars.

How to get rid of acne scars ?

This is an excellent and wonderful remedy to get rid of acne scars. Make a sandalwood paste with rose water and apply on the scars. Keep it overnight and wash it with cold water the next day. If you find that your skin becomes dry in the morning, you leave it only adding some milk while making paste.

Chemical peels for acne deep scars in which mild organic acids like glycolic or salicylic or lactic acid are used to peel off skin from the scar. This is the best acne scar treatment method as it is painless and requires no anesthesia. All the above mentioned methods are done by dermatologists or cosmetologists. The removal of scars takes 2 to 3 months.

Try applying vitamin E to the scarred area three to four times daily to help reduce its visibility. If you keep at it, you should see some results after one to two weeks. It takes a long time before you get really noticeable effects.

Get Dermabrasion. This is not to be confused with micro-dermabrasion which removes the very top layer of dead surface skin cells from the face. Dermabrasion is a coarser method, which removes further layers. Almost as if you were to rub sandpaper on your face (which you shouldn’t!) But the sandpaper imagery is the general idea of what this process entails. The dermatologist will numb your face first and then begin removing layers through the “sanding” process. Recovery time is usually a couple weeks.

Apply a dab of toothpaste on your pimple before bed. This is useful for new pimples, especially big ones. Whenever I spot a new pimple, I try this. Usually the next morning, it will be dried out enough to pop on its own.

With modern dermatological medicine, there is no need to suffer from severe acne nodules and cysts that can permanently damage your skin. However, if you had severe acne in the past and have permanent scarring on your skin, the good news is that there are a variety of methods to help reduce or remove those acne scars. Acne scar treatment is handled by skin doctor specialists called dermatologists. You’ll have to have a consultation with your dermatologist before any procedures are done.
