Taking Care Of Your Skin - Dealing With Acne Scars - Articles Surfing

Although acne does not always cause scarring, there are cases when acne has a disastrous effect on your face's skin; Most of the times this will happen because you have forcibly picked or squeezed the *pimples*.

While we are at the causes of scarring, let's remember the ancient Greek saying *The best cure is prevention*. If you don't mess up with your skin in the first place then, later, you will have no reason to seek for methods that deal with scarring caused by acne. Having this thing in mind, the first rule that you should follow is not hard to figure: never put your hands on your skin and mess with your acne, it will only worsen things!

Okay, that was on the prevention part; what we really need here are some effective methods so we can battle with the scarring that is already existent.

The first thing that you can do is use a technique called *Dermabrasion*. This technique is achieved by *removing* the old skin using modern, diamond edged medical machinery. After the old, scared skin has been removed, your body will naturally replace it with fresh, new skin. Dermabrasion will work best for cases where there are shallow acne scars.

An alternative to Dermabrasion is laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing uses the same principles as Dermabrasion but the whole process is achieved using a strong, accurate laser beam. Laser resurfacing is considered to be a more accurate method than Dermabrasion.

If your case is not *serious*, you can try using chemical substances. In this case, what you have to do is to apply various types of acid on your face's skin; naturally, those acids will remove the top layer of your skin and a new, smoother layer will surface.

Finally, contrary to the previous case, if you are having some deep scaring then your last resort are dermal filling techniques. Material which is acceptable by the organism (in most cases collagen or fat) is injected below the scar so that the scar will elevate and come to a natural level. This technique is very effective but it has a disadvantage; it will only last as long as 6 months!
