The most common cause of acne scars is an inflammed nodular acne or nodulocyctic acne. This is when lesions go deep into the skin and the infection affects the surrounding tissue. When it finally heals it leaves a scar.

When the top skin cells peel away you are left with new, fresh skin underneath. As the skin cells peel away some of the scarring will also be peeled away. For mild cases of acne scarring, creams and lotions can often successfully reduce the visibility of scars. Improvement won’t happen immediately but with continued use you will begin to see a difference.

The new layer of skin underneath is then visible although it will be new and tender and will need to heal. When healed you will notice a big difference, but this procedure will also need to be repeated until you have the results you are looking for. Laser Resurfacing With laser resurfacing the acne scars are removed by a laser. Acne scars can be reduced quite dramatically after one treatment, although further treatments are usually required. This is a fairly safe treatment, although more invasive and more expensive than the above treatments. Surgery Surgery should be a last resort for treating acne scars and really should only be used on very severe scarring. Deep acne scars can be removed by excising the skin and removing the scarring and then joining the skin back, this then needs to heal and although it may leave a fine scar it will be a much less visible scar than the acne scars.
