Acne scarring is a reaction to the inflammation in the skin caused by acne. During the inflammatory process, tissue is destroyed and in an attempt to heal the skin, a reaction called fibrosis occurs. Fibrosis leads to changes in the texture of the skin that can be thinner (called atrophic) or thicker (called hypertrophic) than normal skin. Scarring is permanent.

First of all in order to prevent scars you must treat Acne properly. If you already have scars then you should ask the dermatologists for an individualized treatment. You can try a chemical peeling, dermal-abrasion or laser abrasion but only id the doctor recommends that procedure to you.

Dermabrasion is primarily used for the treatment of acne scarring. Superficial and deep techniques are available.

It depends on the scars. Sometimes dermabrasion by itself is not enough. Preparatory surgery such as scar excision or fillers such as fat injections prior to dermabrasion may be needed to achieve an optimal result. Excision of multiple deep pitted acne scars may be performed over several sessions. Acne scars must be evaluated on an individual basis.

Large or widespread acne scars are best handled by a dermatologist but there are some mildly effective over the counter products such as Mederma. Reducing your acne can cause existing scars to become less pronounced and less red and time of course causes scars to fade. Keep in mind that you need to be acne free to start getting rid of acne scars.

This depends on the incision choice by you and your surgeon. It is quite possible to have either one of these implants inserted with no visible scars whatsoever. Ask your doctor if he is familiar with the intraoral incision locations and what he thinks about them. Ask him if he is aware of the inner lower eyelid incision for cheek implants which results in NO visible scars and any infection is a rarity. Although ectropion is at risk here.

Some scarring will occur with a face lift, but it is usually hidden in the hairline, behind the ears or under the jaw line. Your doctor should talk with you about rhytidectomy techniques used to minimize scarring.

There are skin treatments that can help acne scars look better and feel smoother. Ask your doctor about them. The best treatment for you depends on how severe the scarring is. You can have scar tissue removed or have a shot of collagen. Collagen smoothes a pitted scar by plumping up the skin underneath. You may get the best results with a combination of treatments.

First, treating and controlling acne will help prevent scarring. But if you already have scars, some dermatologists may use chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser abrasion to lessen their appearance. You should discuss what's best for you with your dermatologist.

The incisions are so tiny, that any scarring is not seen. Most patients can barely see their incisions four to six weeks following surgery. Compared to the “railroad tracks” associated with traditional vein stripping, the scars are practically non-existent.

Scarring is defined as fibrosis of the collagen in the dermis (the deep layer of the skin). The color changes seen with acne are usually more superficial and gradually fade with time.
