Treating Early Acne Scars
The post-inflammatory changes caused by acne are part of the skin’s natural healing process. There are certain practices and medications that can help facilitate this healing process.
* Unprotected exposure to the sun causes more skin damage and delays healing, therefore wearing a good sunscreen is important.
* Using tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Avita) speeds up the skin’s remodeling process and helps heal post-inflammatory changes.
* Appropriate formulations of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that contain the correct concentrations and are at the appropriate pH also help the skin’s remodeling process.
* Picking at scabs should be avoided at all costs. Scabs form to protect the healing process that is going on underneath them. Pulling a scab off before it is ready interferes with the healing and remodeling process, prolonging the time that post-inflammatory changes will be visible.
Antioxidants and Post-Inflammatory Changes
As we understand more about skin damage from free-radicals, it seems that using an antioxidant would help treat post-inflammatory changes or even permanent scars. Unfortunately no good scientific studies have shown that any oral or topical antioxidant prevents or heals skin damage. As a matter of fact, Vitamin E, when applied topically to healing wounds, has been shown to cause more harm than good. As antioxidant research continues, scientists may find a formulation that effectively reverses skin damage, but until then any claims of skin rejuvenation through the use of antioxidants are merely hype.
Acne Scars – Icepick
Icepick scars are narrow, sharp scars that make the skin appear it has been punctured with an icepick. They are usually narrower than 2 mm and extend into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. Icepick scars are usually too deep to correct with skin resurfacing treatments such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.
Acne Scars – Boxcar
Boxcar scars are round to oval depressions that have sharp vertical edges. Unlike icepick scars they do not taper to a point at the base. Shallow boxcar scars are 0.1-0.5 mm in depth and can usually be treated with conventional skin resurfacing techniques. Deep boxcar scars are >0.5 mm in depth and require full-thickness treatment techniques.
Acne Scars – Rolling
Rolling scars occur as a result of tethering of otherwise normal-appearing skin to the subcutaneous tissue below. This process gives the skin a rolling or undulating appearance. Conventional skin resurfacing techniques do not work on rolling scars. They must be corrected by breaking up the subcutaneous fibrous bands.
Acne Scar Treatment After Accutane
An important consideration in the treatment of acne
There are numerous procedures that can be used to correct acne scars. Each procedure has its own risks and benefits, and several procedures are normally combined to create the smoothest appearing skin. Here is a brief discussion of the more effective acne treatment procedures.
Dermal Fillers
There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected into acne scars to raise the surface of the skin and give a smoother look. Examples of dermal fillers are fat, bovine collagen, human collagen, hyaluronic acid derivatives, and polytheyl-methacrylate microspheres with collagen. The injection of these materials does not permanently correct acne scars, so further injections are necessary.
Punch Excision
This method of surgically correcting acne scars is used on deep scars such as icepick and deep boxcar scars. This procedure uses a punch biopsy tool which is basically a round, sharp "cookie-cutter" tool that comes in diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. The size of the tool is matched to the size of the scar to include the walls of the scar. Under local anesthesia the scar is excised with the punch tool and the skin edges are sutured together. The newly produced scar eventually fades and may not be noticeable. If it is noticeable, it is more amenable now to resurfacing techniques.
Punch Excision with Skin Graft Replacement
With this method the scar is excised with the punch tool as above. Instead of suturing the skin edges together, the defect is filled with a punch skin graft usually taken from behind the ear. With this procedure a color and texture difference may be noticeable, but a skin resurfacing technique can be used 4-6 weeks after the grafting to correct this difference.
Punch Elevation
This method of surgically correcting acne scars is used on deep boxcar scars that have sharp edges and normal appearing bases. The same punch tool as above is used to excise the base of the scar leaving the walls of the scar intact. The excised base is then elevated to the surface of the skin a
Acutane. It is simply the best acne treatment available. I tried several dozen skin products and treatments for acne and nothing worked until Acutane. I took the pills for 6 months and have not had any acne for over a year.
Make sure you take enzymes. Our digestion strength weakens with age Also High refined and white sugar have been proven causes of adult acne. Dairy as well. Eggs should be okay if not overcooked. Eat fish, lean meat and chicken all organic. Acne is a toxic sign of some internal conflict. Acne around the mouth is related to digestion issues. Enzymes and pro biotics will help.
skin id works well
hi….i tried aspirin mask and i saw result…search in internet about it.
i had the same problem when i turned 27 and until 29 i had bought more than $900 in products including origins where i worked at the time. you know what made it go away? a holistic chiropractor…… he told me i had trouble digesting sugars and i bought 2 bottles of enzymes to help with digesting food in general $40 for a 1 month supply ( and they were easy to take. eat you 3 meals a day like normal, take 2 pills right b4 you eat and 2 when your done) after only a week or 2 my face looked tons better and after a month completely clear. now im 30 and still sticking to it and my face looks great, sometimes i go on a sugar binge and my face breaks out a little bit but, it’s worth it.
oh yeah and no regular milk, i use oberweiss (thats what we have in chicago) but drink only organic milk with no added anything!
i saw someone suggested accutane but, it is only for severe acne , you have to get blood tests every month while on it & and mandatory birth control pills, it’s so dangerous a person can ony be given 2 treatment courses in their life, some of the side effects are liver damage, severe birth defects, mental disturbances (including suicide) & kidney damage.
the enzymes i take are by a company called chiro-zyme, for the 1st month i was taking 3 pills befoer and after my 3 main meals a day to get it moving along 2 different pills: T4 to T8 Bil 3 pills right before you eat and right when you finish eating take 3 of the T8 to T10 Lvr pills. A container of 180 pills is around $36 and a container of 90 is around $20. im sure you can call around to holistic chiropractors in your area to find them , i looked up a web site for you look under the catalog tab http://www.enzymeformulations.com
Are you sure you have tried everything?
Take heart. Help is here. I personally faced terrible acne condition for 9 years so I know the feeling you are feeling now. My face was so severely covered by acne that a couple of years ago, if I had to guess, I had over hundreds of zits.
I dared not go out. Embarrassed to talk to people especially girls. I definitely hated it when some friends of mine talked about my acne condition.
I researched for the best methods to cure acne and have taken notes on the treatments that I’ve used…. So if your condition is like what you have described, hopefully the tips that I will be giving out are going to help you.
1. Use tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is one of the best solution for acne. It kills the bacterias that cause zits to rise on your skin. Cheap and effective. It’s better than most products on sale based on my personal experience.
2. I know they told you to wash your face 239 times a day if you want to get rid of acne.
The whole point of washing your face is to remove dirt and bacterias from your skin as well as remove dead skin cells. Don’t over-wash your face. Over washing will make your skin’s texture damaged. Dryness is another issue.
3. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
Vegetables and fruits contain high amounts of vitamins, minerals and most importantly fibers.
- Vitamins sourced from the fruits and vegetables you eat are EXTREMELY ESSENTIAL TO PROMOTE THE GENERAL HEALTH OF YOUR SKIN and PREVENT ACNE BREAKOUTS.
- Minerals boost the immune system and regulate the hormone secretion. Required for other bodily functions too.
- FIBERS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE! Did you know that on average our body contains about 5 kgs of toxins? These toxins will make your hormone secretion go chaotic and immune system to deteriorate. Eating more fruits and vegetables helps to deal with this.
*************FRUITS AND VEGETABLES CONTAIN NATURAL ENZYMES TOO!!!************************
3. Stress – I know you have a lot of stress
Emotional health does play a role in acne. As 29 year old, I am sure you have quite a lot of stress in the workplace, and possibly in your personal life. Everyone has stress!
Excessive Stress causes the following:
- Deteriorated immune system. Bacterias that cause acne cannot be dealt with by the immune system thus causes more acne breakouts.
- Unregulated hormone secretion. When we are talking about acne, the hormone responsible for it is "Androgen". What androgen does is it stimulates the oil glands under your skin to release oil to your skin to moisturize the skin. When you are stressed, the secretion of androgen increases, then more oil will be released to your skin. This causes your pores to get clogged, and poof here comes acne.
Getting rid of your stress is quite important if you are serious about getting rid of acne. I know it’s already stressful and frustrating when you have acne. And the more you stress on it, the worse your acne will get. I’ve personally experienced this so I know. Try not looking to the mirror so frequently. Forget about the zits. Play more, relax more and life’s going to be great!
I know I’ve been talking about many things now… But if you want to learn more about how to deal with acne, please read the article linked below.

I hope your acne will get cured soon. Best of luck.
Also, think properly before spending your hard earned money on products. The way they describe the products almost make us feel like buying. But are they really that good? Think carefully before spending! That’s good for our economy.
Most acne products only treat the symptoms and not the source. They even make your skin dry, sensitive. Prolonged use can even lead to premature aging and other health issues.
The main causes of acne is toxins build up in the body and clogged pores caused by excessive oil and deadskin cells. THese provide a fertile ground for acne to spread and thrive.
To effectively fight acne and prevent acne from coming back, you have to attack acne from inside the body as well as outside on the skin. So, look for an acne product that fights acne internally as well as externally. They should also contains natural ingredients since they’re more safer to use and has less side effects.
There are also things you can do at home to get rid of acne. Take actions to detoxify your body and take care of your skin and soon, you will permanently end your acne and have clear, radiant, beautiful skin!
For the next couple of weeks, stick to the regimen below:
-Drink a glass of warm water with lemon and honey in the morning and evening
-Drink lots of water throughout the day to flush out the toxins
-Drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day – green tea contains antibacterial properties to kill the bacteria
-Try to do some exercise so you can sweat out all the toxins. Also, try to do meditation
-Eat as many apples as you can. You should buy organic apples at Wholefood. Dont buy apples at local supermarket. Supermarket apples contain pesticides that can toxify your body
-Eat oatmeal for breakfast
-Eat 2 cups of yogurt a day – yogurt boost ur immune system and contain microbiotic organisms that help your digestive system and control the acid/yeast
-Eat lots of green veggies (organic if possible)
-Stay away from coffee, sugar, carbohydrates, fatty and fried food
-Eat salmon and cantaloupe as much as possible
-Wash your face in morning and evening with gentle cleanser, use natural toner, and follow up with oil-free moisturizer

There are many treatments available, some of which may come as a surprise to you. Consulting your doctor about it, so that you can fully understand the cause of the problem and get proper prescriptions and treatments. Anti-biotic treatments are warranted by those people that have severe blemishes caused by pimples that are clustered together. This is a long term approach. The types of antibiotics include; but are not limited to: Tetracycline, Minocycline, Doxycycline, Erythromycin, and Bactrim. Benzoyl Peroxide is a tried and true way of treating acne. It has extreme bacteria killing abilities. A prescription medication that contains Azelaic Acid works very well for acne treatment. Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains like wheat and rye. Acne treatment results may vary depending on each person, so it is best to ask your doctor about these treatment options first.
