5 Best Treatment options for Acne Scar - Dr. Sankeerth Vijayakumar

Acne is one of the most common inflammatory conditions affecting the individual and the most common sequele of acne is scars. Acne scars occur a result of the damage to the skin caused by the inflammation of acne. Acne scars tend to affect the individual deeply, whereby he loses his self-esteem in terms of his appearance in public life. There are many type of acne scars morphologically they are the flat pigmented macular scars, the deep ice pick scars, the rolling scars, the boxcars, as well as these hypertrophic scars. The treatment of the acne scars depends on the types of scars. The most common procedures we perform are the chemical peels. Chemical peels are more useful for the macular pigmented acne scars. The most common compounds we use for treating acne scars are the glycolic acid, salicylic acid, tricholoroacetic acid, retinol as well as combination peels. Multiple sessions would be required to get the required results. Next we recommend microdermabrasion, which involves the use of aluminium hydroxide crystals along with the vacuum mechanism. Aluminium hydroxide crystals brings about superficial ablation of the skin, thereby providing for the rejuvenated look , as well as stimulates the production of collagen all these play a vital role in improving the appearance of the acne scars. Thirdly micro needling treatments or popularly known as dermaroller treatments. The basic principle of treatments is mechanical trauma when we induce mechanical trauma with the help of a dermaroller it stimulates collagen remodelling, thereby it helps to improve the appearance of the scars. Next is micro needling radiofrequency. It is a slight modification and improvements over the microneedle dermaroller treatments, apart from the mechanical trauma, it also has a thermal component. So a coblation of the mechanical trauma and a thermal component, acts as a potent stimulator for collagen synthesis. This gives much better results for the dermaroller treatment alone, the results are almost comparable as that lasers and the advantage of this procedure is there is no downtime, and patient can resume their work the same day or the next day as well. Lasers have been in the forefront for the treatment of acne scars, particularly carbon dioxide lasers and the erbium Yag lasers. Lasers provide excellent results but one must remember that there is a downtime of about 5 to 6 days associated with lasers, couple of other procedures we perform for acne scars are submission, punch
