Sometimes acne takes a scary shape on your face. If your whole face is affected by severe acne, they don't remain as pimples or blackheads but take the shape of scars. If patches of scars get all over your cheek, chin, trunk and back area; automatically someone facing you will feel uneasy and a slight creepy about it.

Your natural skin color will tend to fade and deep pits on your skin will come out in angular shapes. In a more adverse condition they can also take wavelike shape. Unfortunately all this happens when it's your blooming time that is the peak period of your teenage.

Acne as pimples is very common. Some of you even regard it as a beauty spot in your teens. But acne scars are really worse.

Forms of acne scars

Basically acne scars form pits if they appear on your face. But in your body the scars take a bigger shape. They form bumpy scars and spread around your chest, back area and trunk.

Though they will appear scary but don't get panic about them. There are different treatments to remove acne scars from your face and body.

Dermabrasion: Surgical way of removing acne scars

Dermabrasion is referred by the dermatologist when medicines and other skin care techniques fail to cure the acne scars. It is a surgical method where technically the scars are peeled of from the skin.

How is the surgery conducted?

?The sensation of the skin is first made inert. This is done by getting the skin frozen.

?A special type of tool is used to remove the scar from the skin. It is sort of sanding the skin. Those who don't have acne scars can imagine the process somewhat relevant to cold waxing and threading of the whole face.

?Dermabrasion actually removes the scarring layer of the skin. Once this layer is peeled off, a fresh new layer grows and that carries the natural glow and smoothness. You get an all new look without a single spot on it.

Laser technology

Nowadays the laser technology is in wide use to remove the scars. The treatment through this process has been proved to be quite effective and the hassles are also less than the conventional surgical method.

The laser rays burn the scars and replaces the skin layer without giving you any pain. The only painful area regarding this treatment method is that it is very expensive.

Medicinal injection

Though there are no such doses of simple pills that can sure acne scars, but for the bumpy scars injections are given. The medicine used to inject in the body is a special kind of steroid.

Before things really take a scary shape treat your acne with the prescribed guideline of a doctor. It is always better to follow the preventive measures to be on the safe side.
