Acne Scars occur if an infection develops in acne and the skin heals itself so that it remains healthy however leaves pigmented and / or indented marks on the face, they can be very difficult and costly to remove.

There are a lot of over the counter ‘cures’ for acne scars ranging from skin creams to skin needling. The most commonly used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take quite a while for any results to start to show as a huge percentage of creams are not absorbed by the skin. Creams are, therefore, wasted and so are not economical.

Another product that can be used for acne scar removal is the skin roller. This is a roller for micro needling; you simply roll the derma-roller over the scarred area of skin to open the pores of your epidermis (top layer of skin) making it believe that it is injured inducing the production of collagen and elastin which eventually heals the damaged skin.

After using the derma roller the pores on the epidermis are enlarged for up to an hour so this is the best time to use creams as they are much better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and boosts the effectiveness of the derma roller.

There are more extreme methods to remove acne scars however these are all expensive and have to be carried out by professionals and then they’re not even guaranteed to work! These include; Micro dermabrasion, laser treatments, chemical peals and also skin needling can be done by a professional more vigorously using a longer needle size and numbing cream.

In my experience in treating acne scars I have found that the most result effective and cost effective treatment is derma rolling at home as it is relatively cheap and as it works by inducing the healing process is the most natural way to heal acne scars.

All of us go through our teenage years knowing that somehow this seems as if it is the most difficult time of our lives. At the same time your body is changing and the skin is often going through quite a horrid time as well. That is where you can get the dreaded acne scars.

As if being able to get through your teenage years was not difficult enough, there are many people that have to then deal with the fact that they are going to have scars for the rest of their lives. It is like someone looking in the mirror every single day and being reminded of the awful time that they went through when they were a teenager. These acne scars are the result of people picking their pimples.

One does not think about this too much if you perhaps have just a couple of spots, but you are likely to see that hindsight is twenty twenty and no doubt you will realise that you should have left the blemishes alone. This is already an issue if one has spotty skin but for those with acne, the impacts are likely to be much longer lasting and they can often lead to insecurities later on in life as well.

The acne scars then become a real reminder of what were essentially emotional scars and they  are something that the person will associate with difficult moments in their youth. As a result of this, people are often terribly insecure and they try to find any way possible to hide their scars. It doesn’t often work in the way that they might hope.

Make up is usually what a person would use and often people go to the extreme of putting too much make up on because they think that is what is needed to hide the blemish. There is a way that make up can work but one would need to ensure that they apply make up properly in such a way that they rather enhance their natural beauty and not put on layers and layers. This will lead to a bad effect.

What one would find then is that they typically wear a lot of make up and this can work to an extent, but it is very important that people know how to apply make up properly in order to not appear as if they are actually wearing too much make up.

There is hope for people with acne scars and they can go out in the knowledge that they will find something to take care of their problems.  Investigate what’s out there on the market and you will soon find something for your situation.

Acne Scars develop if an infection develops in acne and the skin repairs itself enough to remain healthy but unfortunately leaves discoloured and / or indented marks on the affected area, removing them can be both difficult and costly to remove.

There are a lot of over the counter ‘cures’ for acne scars ranging from oils and creams to microneedling. The most regularly used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take a long time for improvements to start to show as a big percentage of these creams don’t get absorbed by the skin.

An alternative product that can be purchased for acne scar removal is the skin roller. This is a roller for micro-needling; you roll the collagen roller over the scarred area of skin opening the pores of your top layer of skin (epidermis) making it believe that it is damaged activating the production of collagen and elastin which eventually heals the damaged skin.

Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the top layer of skin (epidermis) stay enlarged for as long as so this is the best time to apply creams as they are much better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and increases the effectiveness of the derma roller.
