Acne Scar Treatment in Noida

What are acne scars?

Acne can be really disappointing but the scars that acne leaves behind are even more frustrating. The good news is that it can be treated. Acne can be a chronic (long-term) condition and leave stubborn scars. Due to tissue loss, acne scars can become sunken (depressed). They might resemble ice pick pits. They might be wavy or boxlike in texture, providing a wavy texture on the skin. These acne scars, also known as boxcar acne scars, are most commonly found on the face. Acne scars can also be raised as a keloid or hypertrophic scar due to extra tissue. They are most commonly found on the back, face and chest. They can also lead to the formation of colourful patches. In lighter skin, these blotches might be purplish, red, or pink. In darker areas, they might range from tan to dark brown.
 

Acne scars are often products of papules, pustules or cysts. Acne scars occur when the hair follicles beneath the skin become clogged. Dead skin cells and oil block the pores, causing acne. Acne can appear anywhere on the body i.e. face, back, shoulders or chest. Most commonly it appears on the individual’s face. Once the acne goes away, the skin works to repair the damage which is caused due to deep blemish. Scarring occurs when the skin fails to repair the damage. Although collagen is created throughout the healing process, too much or too little collagen can cause acne scarring.
 

More often than not, acne scars can be really stubborn and no single acne marks treatment done at home can provide desired results. The doctor at first analyses the skin condition of the patient, skin type and the severity of scarring, to decide the combination of treatments that will work the best for the patient's skin.

Any treatment should be approached with realistic expectations. Laser treatment will not completely remove the acne scars. The scars will be significantly less noticeable in the best-case scenario, but in most cases acne scars do not go away completely.

For a few weeks after the treatment, one has to be extra careful regarding the skin’s maintenance because the skin will be more prone to UV damage, so using sunscreen before leaving the house is essential. For the next 6 to 8 weeks, avoid going out too frequently in the sun as that will cause tanning. To help maximize the effects of the treatment, the doctor might suggest some additional skin care products, such as using a specific toner or moisturizer that will help make the skin more radiant.

To avoid any infection, one needs to keep the treated area clean. The skin might turn red for a few days after the treatment. One may also need to refrain from wearing cosmetics for a week or more, depending on the severity of the issues.

The treatment's results will not be apparent right away. But one will surely observe how effectively the treatment worked to decrease the look of acne scars in 7 to 10 days. The effects of acne scar treatment are long-lasting.
