Chemical peels: To treat deeper scars, remove the outermost layer of skin with a chemical solution. For those with sensitive skin, mild acne and acne scars can be treated with lactic acid peels, which are kinder. Using a laser to remove damaged skin layers and promote the formation of new collagen is known as laser resurfacing. Dermabrasion: To remove damaged skin, spin a wheel quickly. Darker skin may not be a good candidate for dermabrasion since it might cause discolouration and scarring. Microdermabrasion: To smooth the skin, mist it with microscopic crystals. This may enhance the outcomes of additional therapies. Microneedling: To promote the formation of collagen, tiny needles are used to make tiny punctures in the skin. Radiofrequency microneedling can help reduce acne scars and stop new breakouts. Subcision: To break up fibrous tissue bands that are preventing the skin from lying in its natural position, use a needle. Soft-tissue fillers: To raise the skin above a depressed scar, inject a material beneath it. Oral retinoids: To shrink the size of the skin’s oil glands, use oral isotretinoin (Accutane or Roaccutane) tablet. Aloe vera: To lessen scar tissue size and irritation, use aloe vera straight to the skin. Vitamin C: To help heal scars and clean up acne, apply vitamin C topically or consume it. Sunscreen: To reduce the contrast between scarred and unscarred skin, apply sunscreen.
