Is it breaking open pimples? What cuases acne pit scars?

The term ‘scarring’ means a fibrous process in which new collagen is laid down to cure an injury. It is basically common in acne conglobata and acne fulminans. It can also be a long term result of infantile acne. Acne breakouts are caused by a various environmental, gene, and age factors, even stress. Acne or pimples affects almost everybody.

Acne scars can be desolating to their self esteem and outward appearance. In the easiest terms, scars form at the site of an injury to tissue. They are the discernible reminders of injury and tissue repair. In the case of acne, the injury is caused by the body’s inflammatory retroaction to sebum, bacteria and dead cells in the plugged sebaceous follicle. Many individuals will deal with aplomb issues due to their scars.

I have had several consultations with various doctors over a procedure to remove acne scars from teen-age acne. The facial resurfacing was not something I wanted to do. The next was a face-lift, which I suppose at my age might be advantageous. But, I suppose I am still looking for something that would fill out the scars so they are less noticeable. I have also done microdermabrasion treatments. Any suggestions?

 Treatment of Acne Scars

There are a number of treatments out there to battle acne scars. While none of them really give instant results, they can significantly decrease scarring or eliminate them over time, depending on the severity. The idea behind acne scar treatments is that new cells will replace old damaged cells. There are some topical scar treatments that start this process through the creation of healthy skin cells. There are many over the treatements, but it is best to consult a doctor if you are looking for a deep acne scar product. Determining the best acne scar treatment varies from person to person depending on a lot of factors, including the severity of the scar, allergic reactions to treatment, availability of funds and their own body’s response to the treatment.

The physical as well as the psychological effects of acne scarring are a difficult condition to deal with for adults as well as for teenagers alike. Perhaps it is more so for teenagers than adults. The medical fraternity are finding it very difficult to understand, more so treat, acne scarring. Why does it have such a long lasting effect? And why is it so difficult to treat? Perhaps we will never know – however doctors have turned to technology to remove acne scars rather than treat it with medications.

Various kinds of acne leave different kinds of acne scars. There is good news though; acne scars can be effectively and permanently treated. Doctors also advise a proper acne treatment that needs to be carried out on a daily basis by the affected individual to prevent the return of the scourge.

i have a few acne scars that i want to get rid of fast because its almost christmas and i want clear skin for family pictures. i dont use makeup to cover it up because makeup causes me to break out. is there anything i can apply?

I’m 23 and I’ve had body acne on my back since I hit puberty. It’s pretty bad and I absolutly hate it!!! I can’t wear shirts with open back, unless I cover it with make-up and keep my hair down. Most of the scars are on my lower back. Recently, I’ve been using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub and it helps a bit, but it won’t take away the scars. I also use cocoa butter sometimes on my back, but I know that it won’t solve the major scars.
I’ve been doing some research and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to solve this problem is to get laser treatment for scar removal. I know it’s expensive, but I’m gonna have to charge it and make payments for a while. But this is soooooo important to me, that it will be worth it…I hope! This is the onle thing I wish I could change about myself!

So, what do you know about laser scar removal treatments? How well does it work? What is the price range? How often do you think I will have to go? Does it cause any pain? Side effects?
