Dermatologist-recommended Treatment Options for Acne Scars

Here are some of the dermatologist-recommended treatment options for acne scars mentioned below: 

• Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is one of the most common yet effective aesthetic treatment options for addressing stubborn acne scars. The treatment works by removing the damaged skin layer to stimulate new skin growth. This makes an ideal treatment for deep acne scars such as boxcar and rolling acne scars. Now, the benefits of laser resurfacing typically include dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone. However, it often comes with some risk, such as redness, peeling, swelling and downtime of 1-2 weeks. 

• Microneedling 

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. During microneedling, fine needles are used to create micro-injuries, which further stimulate collagen and elastin production. The treatment works best for rolling and mild boxcar scars. The ultimate benefit of microneedling is minimal downtime, often combined with PRP. However, some of the common risks of microneedling include mild redness and potential for irritation. 

• Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a remarkable aesthetic tool used for exfoliating the skin. The exfoliation further helps in promoting regeneration. Common types of chemical peels include glycollic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid. Chemical peels are best recommended for pigmentation and superficial scarring. Now, the benefits of chemical peels include brighter, smoother skin with reduced pigmentation. However, the risks of chemical peels are peeling and temporary sensitivity to the sun.

• Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are aesthetic tools to address a wide range of skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, dark spots, etc. Dermal fillers are usually made up of hyaluronic acid and other substances. These fillers are injected to plump up depressed scars. Moreover, these fillers work best for boxcar and rolling scars. The results from dermal fillers show immediate improvement. Although there are no risks of using dermal fillers, these fillers offer a temporary solution and usually last for 6-18 months. However, sometimes using dermal fillers can cause mild bruising.
