What is the best way to get rid of acne scars??


Answers: Various treatment options are available like corticosteroid injections, surgical removal of the scar, x-ray therapy and cryosurgery. However, most of these methods are expensive and also require expertise. Only a doctor can decide as to which treatment is the best for a scarred patient. In many cases, a combination therapy with a special scar ointment/gel will have a positive healing effect.

Effective Acne Scars Treatment:

The newest form of treatment is laser resurfacing, which can be done in the doctor or dermatologist's office. The laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving it smoother. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour and isn't painful because the doctor will first numb your skin with local anesthesia. It usually takes between 3 and 10 days for the skin to heal completely.

Another more traditional method for treating acne scarring is dermabrasion, which uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. It may take a bit longer for skin to heal using dermabrasion - usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.

Both of these types of treatments will cause skin to turn red, and this may last for several months. You can only have these treatments if you don't have an active case of acne at the time of treatment.

You may use this anti-marks cream which reduces dark spots left from pimples & lighten pigmentation marks.

We also suggest you to use a more mild chemical peel/ointment to help improve the appearance of scarred areas.
I dont suggest that this is the best one, but its better to go for Laser Resurfacing treatment. However, if you want to go natural way, go for an Ayurvedic medicine. But anyway, be cautious of your skin for its sensitivity.
