[S135]Scar Removal Laser Treatment

Acne is a common problem of skin that affects almost 80% of the youth population. Acne itself disappears after few days or weeks but leaves behind scar that causes the face to look ugly. If not treated on time they remain for years and can disappear only when a new layer of skin grows. To give a fresh and new glow to the skin, acne scar removal is an important process. Acne scar removal is the technique, through which the scar is removed that has been caused by acne. Scars that are caused by acne vary from one person to another. Some people have deep scar while other have only superficial scarring. The removal of scar will depend mainly on how deep scars are and there are many methods by which scars can be removed.

One of the methods of removing these scars is by filling scars with the help of collagen injections so that the skin is stretched and smoothened out. This method can be used for soft scars and another problem with collagen injection is that it should be repeated after few months. Autogous fat transfer is a method for the treatment of deeper scars. In this method the fat is taken from another part of one's body and injected into the scarred tissue. This procedure should also be repeated after few years since the fat gets absorbed into the skin.

The most effective method of treating scars is dermabrasion. In this process, the skin is removed with a high speed brush under localized anesthetic in the area. However this method cannot be used for ice pick scars and for the dark skin person as they will show changes in the pigmentation area. Microdermabrasion is another process of scar removal, which again removes the skin on the surface with aluminium oxide crystal. This method is effective in removing very shallow scars. An invasive method of removing scars is skin surgery. In this method, scars are removed individually and the skin sutured or grafted to heal the holes that are caused when the scar is removed. Skin grafting and surgical removal of keloids is the most extensive method of treatment for scars caused by acne.

However, the best option is to start immediate treatment and stop scars to be deepen and disfiguring. The more effective method of healing is through simple home remedies. If scars have already very deep then one should seek the help of a dermatologist instead of treating it with home remedies. One should immediately start the treatment and avoid the chronicle condition of the skin.
