Dermabrasion is the method to remove the top and superficial layer of the skin. Along with this, acne scars are also taken off. This procedure is performed by an electrical machine, which can abrade the skin. Generally Dermabrasion is used to get rid of the scars which are small in size. This is also used sometimes for minor skin surface irregularities and surgical scars.
Another method to get rid of acne scars is the treatment performed by collagen injections. In this, a type of collagen derived from the purified bovine collagen. This collagen is then injected into the skin with extreme caution. The collagen inserted into the skin will replace the natural collagen of the body that is lost during the acne attack. Injections of collagen are normally used to treat acne scars, wrinkles and facial lines.
The latest technology offers you another treatment for getting rid of acne scars. This is something called Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT). In simple wordings, this is nothing but grafting the skins. The fat is taken from another site of your own body and then it is injected into the skin. The body will welcome it and will not treat as a foreign body. This fat will elevate the depressed scars by replacing the bad material under the skin. This is used to get rid of nodulocystic acne scars. Fat gets absorbed by your body and so, you need to repeat this procedure as and when required.
There are some other techniques like; chemical peels and punch grafts. A special type of chemical is applied on the top of the skin that removes the superficial layer of the skin and so the superficial acne scars. Once, the superficial layer is removed, it is regenerated by the body. Punch grafts are something those are also used to replace the scarred skin. In this, the hole is made to remove the scars. The procedure resembles to punch and so it is named. The scar, when removed, is replaced by unscarred skin. The method is useful to get rid of deep seated scars.
