6 Tips to Remove Acne Scars Fast

In this article, we will look at 6 tips that you apply to remove acne scars fast.

But before I talk about those 6 tips, I would like to stress the importance of prevention. It's much easier to prevent it beforehand than treat it afterward. The key is to take care of acne as soon as they develop by applying creams onto the affected skin or eating antibiotics - consult your doctor if you are not sure. And never try to squeeze the acne blemishes - that will definitely worsen your scar problem.

Next I will share with you the 6 tips. Applying them will help you have a acne-free face and gain confidence as soon as possible.

Tip #1: Use Skin Lightening Creams

This is useful for shallow acne marks - for example, those red marks left behind after acne is gone. The ingredients include licorice extract, kojic acid and hydroquinone which help lighten the skin and fade away those acne marks instantly. These creams are available over-the-counter and not expensive. Sometimes the cream will exaggerate the effects and claim they can treat all acne scars. So please take a close look at their ingredients - if it's under skin lightening category, it's probably not going to help treat those sever scars.

Tip #2: Skin Exfoliation

Skin exfoliation refers to sloughing the damaged skin layers where acne scars are developed. The most commonly used chemical exfoliates are salicylic and glycolic acid, or a facial scrub with little exfoliating beads. Exfoliate your skin on a daily basis for a few weeks, the acne scars will be smaller or even fade away.

Tip #3: Skin Dermabrasion

Skin dermabrasion is effective for more server acne scars and has to be done in doctor's office. It is a process of removing the top layers of the skin using a machine and thus removes the scar tissues. As the skin heels, a new and smoother layer of skin will be developed.

Tip #4: Chemical Peel

This is similar to skin dermabrasion. But instead of using a machine removing a layer of skin, it used chemical ingredients, which can found in many over-the-counter creams, to remove the layer of skin. As you can imagine, this is a treatment that you can do by yourself at home. And it does help to give your skin a smoother look but may not be as effective as skin dermabrasion.

Tips #6: Laser Treatments

Laser treatments are newly developed technology. It use some special equipment to generate laser which can vaporize the scarring skin and make the new skin visible. It works the best for acne scars concentrated on one area of the skin - for example cheeks, chest or forehead. It is also the most costly treatment.

Tip #6: Collagen Injections

This is specially for the depressions caused by acne scars. Collagen is the ingredients that our body uses to regenerate tissues and skins. By injecting collagen into the depressions, the skin will be regenerated and restored.

If you want to remove acne scars fast, the above 6 tips are proven useful. However, depending on your personal situation, you should choose to apply tips that are suit your situation. Please also consult your doctor if you are not sure. Additionally, you need to pay attention to the costs of each treatment. Think twice before you make the final decision.
