subject: Acne Scar Remedies - Ways That You Can Use To Get Rid Of Acne Scars [print this page] The suffering associated with acne doesn't end when there are no more outbreaks.Acne leaves behind scars - both physical and psychological - that stay on long after the breakouts of acne have ceased.There are 2 main types of scars that are left behind by acne. Keloid scars are the first kind of scar. They consist of small buildups of tissue and look like little bumps on the skin.Another would be acne scars that seem to suffer from a loss of skin tissue which leads to dented appearance on our skin. This second type is the more prevalent. This article will discuss some of the ways of removing or reducing acne scarring.
Perfect restoration of the skin to its pre-acne appearance is an unreasonable expectation, unfortunately.For people who had deep scars on their skin, it is almost impossible to restore it to the way it is before. However it is possible to get it back to a condition where it can blends well with the skin, improves the general texture of skin and make it looks much better than before. Thus, desperation isn't justified - you can beat the scars that acne leaves behind!
One approach to removing acne scarring, of course, is the expensive chemical peels and laser therapies.While some people are comforted by the appearance of a rapid solution, these treatments, in addition to being expensive, can carry with them unwanted side effects.Chemical peels, for example, can be over-used to the point where the entire outer layer of skin has been removed, leading to loss or elimination of skin pigmentation.
Other acne scar remedies include using natural ways to accelerate your skin healing process. Unlike the high-tech approaches, these solutions aren't very costly and don't carry potentially harmful side effects.Aloe vera juice is a good example of such a natural remedy, as is lavender essential oil.
Essential fatty acids, which encourage skin healing, are found in high concentrations in lavender essential oil. When applied directly to acne scars, they'll help the skin heal rapidly.Aloe vera is another natural ingredient that is able to promote healing. You can either use the pulps and apply it directly on the scars or just drink it to aids your body to heal much faster.These are only two of the many different natural approaches to healing the scarring that acne can leave without the dangers of side effects.One important point that must be kept in mind - these natural remedies will work more effectively if the underlying acne has already been cured.
