My General Interests :)

Acne Scars develop if acne becomes infected and the skin heals itself just enough to remain healthy however leaves discoloured and / or indented marks on the affected area, removing them [is often to get rid of.

There are [lots of ranging from skin creams to micro-needling. Creams or skin masks are the most commonly used for treating acne scarring which can (but not always) work but take quite a while for any improvements to start to show as a large percentage of these creams don’t get absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.

Another product that can be bought for treating acne scars is the derma-roller. This is a roller for micro-needling; you gently roll the skin needling roller over the scarred area of skin to open the pores of your epidermis causing it to believe that it is injured activating the production of collagen and elastin which heals the skin over time.

Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the top layer of skin remain enlarged for up to an hour which is the best time to use creams as they are a lot 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 reduce 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.
