Coming to a decision on how to go about acne scar removal isn't easy. Natural solutions regularly appear cheap, quick, and easy to administer, while chemical treatments regularly appear expensive and complex. Below are a list of treatments that will assist in determining which form of treatment is right for you.
TIP #1: SUPERFICIAL CHEMICAL PEELS
For people who posses a minimal degree of acne scarring superficial chemical peels may be of assistance. Such peels often contain a mix of alpha hydroxy acids such as those found in fruit, and glycolic acids which can be found in sugar cane.
TIP #2: DEEP CHEMICAL PEELS
For individuals with wide spread, profound acne scarring, a deeper chemical peel may be required. Typically this includes a combination of beta hydroxy acids that are oil soluble, and trichloroacetic acids that penetrate deeper into the skin.
Both forms of treatments require a series of chemical peeling sessions whereby acid is painted onto the skin, burning the top layers. After a period of over a week or so the burnt skin begins to peel off allowing for the re-growth of new skin. Chemical peels also require the application of prescribed creams for preparing the skin for the peel and for ongoing maintenance, which can last months.
All chemical treatments contain the risk of side effects and their occurrences are more prevalentthe deeper the chemical peel. These include:
- The flaring of acne or cold sores - An inflammation of the tissue around the mouth (peri-oral dermatitis) - Peeled skin may also inflame resulting in unsightly scarring - Increased pigmentation such as transient spots of hyper or hypopigmentation - Complete avoidance of direct UV rays - Lengthy recovery and maintenance procedures - All of which may last for months TIP #3: ROSE HIP OIL
Rose Hip Oil is the natural form an anti-acne ingredient Retinol and is far more friendly than chemical treatments. It's added advantage also lies in the fact it can be absorbed into the body, due to its compatibility with skin cell structure. The oil is extremely effective in improving the texture and quality of skin by increasing its elasticity and flattening out scarring, while improving the color of acne scars and surrounding skin. TIP #4: NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT CREAM AND EXFOLIATE
Perhaps the best of all approaches to reducing acne scaring involves the use of a natural microdermabrasion and a acne treatment cream that includes Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates, a biological compound found inside the cells of snails.
The natural microdermabrasion polishes the skin and gradually removes the unwanted scars in a much more subtle means than chemical treatments. Working side-by-side, the Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates speeds up the regeneration process by replacing the scar collagen with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers.
Bioskinexfol is a prime example of such a natural acne scars treatment cream and exfoliate. Its effectiveness lies in its mixture of 100% natural ingredients that are completely side-effect free, making it a much safer treatment for scars than chemical peels.
