Scars are No Longer Permanent and Acne Can Be Taken Care Of



Have you ever felt dissatisfied with your appearance, embarrassed or self-conscious in public due to those stubborn acne scars? Well, you are not alone. Researchers have confirmed that for some teens as well as adults, acne can fuel anxiety, depression, and other emotional and psychological problems, affecting their self-esteem and quality of life. Removal of the stubborn acne marks becomes the only ambition of their lives.

What is Acne?

Your skin has small holes called pores which connect to the oil glands under the skin through a canal called a follicle. The oil glands make an oily substance called sebum, which is carried to the surface through the follicle. When the follicle of a gland clogs up due to dirt and dead skin cells, a pimple grows. So, acne is basically an ailment affecting the skin’s oil glands. Pimples are found mainly on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Acne is not a serious health threat, but what's even more threatening about acne is that it can lead to stubborn scars.

How to Treat Stubborn Acne Scars

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel treatment uses the application of mild solutions containing glycolic acid for skin refinement and regeneration. They promote cell turnover, facilitating the formation of new skin cells and can help even out your skin tone as well. Chemical peels work by removing the build up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. They provide even exfoliation, which results in a smooth and even complexion.

Skin Lightening
Although the basic skin lightening ingredients don't work well for pink or red acne marks, they have a remarkable effect on marks that are more brownish in colour. Natural ingredients that you can find in your kitchen, including lemon, tomatoes, yogurt and honey, when applied on the skin can work wonders. These inexpensive products are easy to find and can be as effective as a cosmetic product.

Applying Vitamin C
Vitamin C is well known to help build collagen and promote the healing of the skin. Vitamin C serums are absorbed well into the skin and continue working even long after they appear to have dried. Lemon juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, and has natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that dramatically reduces the scars.


However, the above mentioned methods can only lighten the colour of those unseemly spots. For complete removal of acne marks, your dermatologist might want to use more intensive procedures than these over-the-counter options.
