Exploring Acne Scars: Causes and Treatment Options

Introduction About Acne scars

 Aura Skin Care Today we’ll be talking about simple acne scar treatments. You can do it at home so the first thing is acne scars. What are they how do they form and how do we grade them Acme scars?

What Think About Acne scars?

If you think about it logically can be one of two types

Firstly

• You can have pigment changes so with the pigment changes you can have darker skin which is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation you have red acne scars it’s called post-inflammatory erythema or pie or macular erythema now these types of acne scars can be managed quite well at home right because they are flat to begin with so what we want to do is we want to normalize the skin texture and the skin tone in other words your pigment to decrease your redness to decrease to match that of your underlying skin tone
  
  
  
• How do we do this firstly post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and what we need to do is protect your skin from further stimulation of pigment and you could use a high-factor SPF sunscreen use that twice a day That’s essential and that’s the first step so

Secondly

• You can use simple ingredients and it can be as simple as something like a salicylic
  
  
  
• acid wash geology makes some good products but you can buy salicylic acid from for example La Roche per se and other brands what salicylic acid does is that it helps exfoliate the skin so if you have too much pigment buildup on the surface of the skin by reducing.
  
  

How To The Actual Amount of Buildup you can improve skin?

Hence decreased pigmentation and brighter skin thereafter you can use specific products. For example like isalic acid and kojic acid, you can also use skin-lightening products like arbutin in other pigment reduction creams now when we talk about pie or person inflammatory erythema

those are red acne scars these are a little bit more challenging to treat however using something like vitamin B in other words B3 which is niacinamide can reduce skin inflammation certainly with sunscreens that can reduce the incidence of pie so remember guys keep it simple and use sunscreens for both post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Brown spots Post-inflammatory erythema reduces red spots and then uses specific ingredients based on what you want to achieve both for pie and PIH, in other words, Brown and red retinol can sometimes help what I like doing is starting patients very low so something like the 0.1 percent retinol 

once again geology makes some good products you can increase that from 0.1 percent to 0.2 and then 0.3 many different brands out there start slow escalate as tolerated so guys this video is sponsored by geology makes awesome products because they’ve been formulated and invented by dermatologists so guys you can find a lot of these products in the description down below so now we talked about flat acne scars we talked about Brown we talked about red what about scars which are depressed so these are called atrophic acne scars.

Different Types Of Acme scars?

There are many types of acne scars Which as follows.

Ice pick-shallow your rolling acne scars but also your ice pick scars that are deeper in your deep atrophic scars which are basically fat loss now depending on the scar type you can use specific treatments for example with deep ice pick scars you can use

something as simple as a skincare acid or simple skin-based acid to treat the Deep scar so that’s called TCA now you can use laces and energy devices or you can use even simple things like microneedling that can help from a home-based treatment

the use of retinol simple vitamin A applied to the scar, especially in early scarring can help remodel the scar itself and decrease the amount of depression and improve your collagen production so once again I like trading most acne scars with retinol of some sort to help remodel collagen and you can use something as simple as a 0.1 percent

retinol-based serum thereafter increasing as tolerated your Healthcare professional might prescribe you something called a retinoid in retinoids they do work a little bit better than retinols however the downside is that number one they’re prescription based in number two most of them will have some kind of side effects for example redness

drying stinging or a little bit of skin irritation so you need to modulate your use according to how sensitive your skin type is what I like to tell patients is that even though we do office space procedures for example the fractional laser resurfacing or your subcision or your deep chemical peels using a simple adjunctive skincare routine at home can also amplify your results hence that’s why we always say start on the vitamin A whether it be a office-based retinoid or an at-home retinal the idea of vitamin C vitamin E in folic acid is to help protect your skin it’s a very powerful antioxidant it can also help with photo aging because it can help build up collagen and importantly it can treat pigmentation especially with the ascorbic acid or the vitamin C side of things so guys what about lasers in the context of acne scars.

Different types of lasers

Vascular–

you can use lasers in other words lasers that Target pigment right. For example redness you can have picker laces or Nano lasers that target Brown hyperpigmentation and then you can have lasers.

Fractional Laser–

including resurfacing that targets traffic scars now in the context of treating red scars vascular lasers don’t break your skin they have a cooling system which protects your skin and targets the hemoglobin that targets the blood vessels underneath your skin now when we talk about fractional laser resurfacing these lasers go into the deeper areas of skin called the dermis depending on the depth of the scar.

More Different Types of Fractional Lasers

We may use different types of fractional lasers

CO2 lasers in erbium lasers can penetrate deep into the skin and cause marked and profound remodeling of collagen the downside o erbium and CO2 lasers is that they are painful they are associated with a longer recovery time anywhere between four days up to two weeks the last thing.

I’ll tell you and it’s the most important thing is get on the routine if you do have active acne make sure you mitigate scarring, to begin with so start on the precise home-implemented acne skincare range that can reduce your acne and I hope you can take something out of this and at the end of the day have accurate treatments for your acne scars.
