Best Treatments for Acne Dents

OTC Creams: They hydrate the skin and help in improving the appearance of acne scars. These creams also reduce the itching or other discomfort caused to the skin. Acne scar treatment creams can be bought OTC but mostly, prolonged use is required to achieve results and there is a risk of side effects like skin rash. Skin products containing ingredients like salicylic acid (which helps reduces the appearance of acne dents), retinoids, and alpha hydroxy acids (which help in speeding up the regeneration of cells), are effective in getting rid of acne dents in the face.

Chemical Peels: They remove the upper layer of the skin and help in the regeneration of cells, thus achieving exfoliation of the skin.

Dermabrasion: It is a skin resurfacing treatment, in which the upper layer of the skin is removed. This treatment is not very effective for deeper scars only for skin rejuvenation.

Microdermabrasion: Certain abrasive ingredients are used to remove the upper layer of the skin, thus helping in exfoliating the skin. This procedure works well to improve skin appearance.

Microneedling: Needles are used to puncture the skin, whereby the generation of collagen is accelerated, which helps in improving the skin’s appearance by reducing the visibility of the acne dents. It takes more than 6 months to 1 year and multiple sessions to get the desired results.

Injections: Corticosteroids are injected into the skin, which helps in softening and flattening raised acne scar tissue.

Fillers: Collagen or fat-based ingredients are injected into the affected skin area. They plump up the skin and improve its overall appearance. Thus, fillers serve as a good way to get rid of acne dents on the face.

Fillers

Laser Resurfacing: In ablative laser resurfacing, thin layers of the skin are removed. In non-ablative laser resurfacing, the generation of collagen is accelerated. In CO2 laser treatment, the affected skin is exposed to microscopically small microbeams which treat the scar tissue and promote the generation of collagen which plays a major role in the healing process. Erbium laser treatment treats the scar tissue without major injury to the surrounding tissue and has lesser side effects as compared to CO2 lasers.

Punch Excision: In this procedure, a tool known as a punch is used to remove the acne dents.

Taylor Liberator: It is a long, blunt instrument which is used to break the fibrous bands that tether acne scars.

Nano fat grafting: This treatment procedure helps in softening the scars and reducing the visibility of discoloration. In this procedure, liquified, filtered fat rich in stem cells from one’s own body is injected into the region affected by acne dents or scars.
