Most Effective Procedures for Acne Scar Reduction 

Acne scar reduction is possible with one or a combination of approaches. The treatment of acne scars depends upon the patient’s skin type, scar type, and extent of scarring. The first line of acne scar treatment is home skin care which involves sun-protecting the skin with sunscreens and the application of some topical products containing azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or other hydroxyl acids.

1. Chemical peels acne scar treatment

These are acidic solutions used for chemical skin abrasion. There are three types of chemical peels- light, medium, and deep; based on the strength of the acid and the skin's penetrating ability. They work to remove the superficial skin layers and reveal new skin from beneath that is smoother and have few scars.

To reduce the acne scar appearance, the doctor applies chemical peels directly to the scar tissues. If light or medium peels are used, then repeated treatments are required to get optimal results while for deep peels only one treatment is usually enough to get the desired result. This treatment is effective for all acne scars but mostly it is performed to treat atrophic scars.

2. Laser resurfacing - Laser resurfacing involves the use of ablative or non-ablative lasers. Ablative laser resurfacing is done to remove the top skin layers and thereby reduce acne scar appearance. Non-ablative laser resurfacing is done to heat the scarred collagen under the skin without affecting the top skin. 

The heating of the skin dermis stimulates the fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen to naturally heal the wounded site. This encourages the replacement of the scarred tissues with new, clear skin. Laser acne scar treatment in South Delhi at DermoRita Skin Clinics is effective for all kinds of acne scars in people with light complexion.

3. Microdermabrasion 

It is one of the best acne scar removal treatments offered at DermoRita Skin Clinic.  In this treatment, a special machine is used to mechanically exfoliate the skin. The removal of top skin layers even stimulates fresh collagen production that leaves behind younger, healthy skin. It can help fade away superficial pitted acne scars like boxcars.

4. Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers can be used to plump and even out the skin. These are injected into the skin dermis to treat atrophic acne scars, specifically rolling or boxcar scars. The injectable fillers can contain collagen, autologous fat, or a commercial filler. The most widely used filler for acne scar reduction is a hyaluronic acid filler which can last for anywhere between 6 to 12 months.   

5. Microneedling

This technique involves the use of a handheld micro pen or a needle-studded roller to create multiple micro-punctures on the surface of the acne scars. The puncturing of the skin triggers the natural wound-healing response of the body wherein fresh collagen is produced. Therefore, micro-needling is only used for the treatment of depressed acne scars. To improve skin texture after acne scarring, micro-needling may be combined with radiofrequency therapy.

6. Subcision

In this treatment, the doctor uses a fine needle to break apart the bands of collagen fibres that pull down the scar tissue deeper into the skin. After the skin is released, it returns to the surface and naturally lays smooth.

7. Excision

This is an invasive technique wherein the doctor cuts into the scarred skin and excises the acne scar. Once done, the wounded site is closed with stitches.

8. Punch grafting

In this treatment, firstly the acne scar is removed using a micro-punch tool and then the area is filled with a skin graft. The skin graft is taken from any site of the body, typically behind the ear.

9. Cryosurgery

This treatment makes use of liquid nitrogen to freeze the scarred skin. Freezing and thawing cause the cells of the scarred tissues to die and wither off. It is performed for the treatment of raised acne scars.

10. Medicated Injections

This treatment is best for raised acne scars. It involves injecting corticosteroids and chemotherapy drugs- interferon and 5 fluorouracil into hypertrophic or keloid scars to flatten or soften them. One injection every few weeks is usually required to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

11. Other energy-based procedures

There are light-based technologies and even radiofrequency devices that can be used to heat the skin dermis and boost collagen synthesis to treat depressed acne scars. The pulsed light and radiofrequency produce thermal energy that can penetrate deeper into the skin and encourage skin rejuvenation. The results are subtle and the patients would need repeated treatments to get the desired reduction in their acne scar appearance.
