Acne Scars occur when acne becomes infected and the skin heals itself so that it remains healthy but leaves discoloured and / or indented marks on the skin, can be] very difficult and [costly to remove.
There are [lots of ranging from creams to microneedling. commonly] used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) work but take a while for any results to begin to show as a large percentage of creams aren’t absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.
An alternative product that can be used for acne scar removal is the derma roller. This is a roller for skin needling; you roll the derma roller over the effected 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.
Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the top layer of skin (epidermis) remain open for up to an hour so this is the best time to use creams as they are significantly better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and heightens 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.
