How to get rid of acne scars?

You can prevent acne scars from spreading by following these simple steps:

• Avoid popping pimples
• Keep your skin moisturised
• Stay hydrated
• Wear sunscreen when stepping out
• Have fresh fruits and greens in your diet with good water content. Oily food can aggravate acne.

Apart from laser scar removal therapy, here are some natural home remedies for acne scars:

• Mix apple cider vinegar with water (diluting it helps avoid irritation). Then using a cotton ball, gently dip it in and cleanse your skin.
• Mix honey and cinnamon bark extracts into a paste and apply it to your skin. It has antibiotic properties that will help reduce acne.
• Apply tree tea oil mixed with water on to a cotton swab and apply it to the affected areas. You can apply a moisturizer if needed. Make sure you do this twice a day.
• Make sure to drink a lot of green tea, as it is rich in antioxidants that help reduce bacteria and inflammation (the two main causes of acne scars).
• Apply the gel of aloe vera to your skin like a moisturizer at least thrice a day.
• Exercise every day for at least half an hour. It flushes out toxins and clears your skin pores while also reducing stress that speed up acne.
• Limit exposure to the sun which can dehydrate your skin and produce more oil and black pores.

Our celebrity plastic surgeons use the laser treatment for acne scars to deliver heat in columns and deep within the skin. This process makes the skin tight and promotes the production of collagen that take care of the lines and wrinkles on your face. Besides, the heat transferred allows you to break down oil and cells and reposition them, so you get a lift as well.

By and large, acne scars can’t be permanently removed as there will always be a faint trace of it, but research reveals that laser scar removal therapy can effectively minimize the thickness and appearance of a scar.

You can never get acne scars to go away entirely. Over time, depressed scars start becoming more visible as the skin loses its levels of collagen.

Most treatments from cryosurgery to laser therapy can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars if you have them. In many cases, the treated acne scars slowly begin to fade over time and eventually become barely noticeable.

There are three key factors that the outcome would largely depend on:

• The authority, proficiency and proven skill of the medical professional conducting the treatment.
