Smooth out your skin from post-inflammatory scars.
There is a wide range of treatment plans available for acne scars. Before diving deep into the treatment methods, you must know the type of scars on your skin to choose the right plan for clearing up the pimple marks.
A scar forms if a pimple damages dermal tissue by penetrating deeply into the skin. The two major types of scars are atrophic scars and hypertrophic scars. The atrophic scars are depressed, whereas the hypertrophic scars appear raised. Atrophic scars result from a decline in collagen level. Contrarily, raised acne scars form due to an increase in collagen level. Let’s move towards the complete guide to treating acne scars.
Laser skin resurfacing vs. Micro-needling
Two renowned ways of diminishing acne scars include micro-needling and laser skin resurfacing. Comparing the two will aid you in selecting one process according to your scar type and skin sensitivity.
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive process, whereas micro-needling is slightly invasive. The former works for the top layer of skin and helps treat hypertrophic scars. Contrastingly, the later technology is effective till the deeper dermal layers. It is applicable for the treatment of both depressed and raised scars. The laser skin resurfacing technique plays no role in treating active acne. Micro-needling minimizes active pimples and manages their re-appearance.
Micro-needling works better for the treatment of acne scars. How?
The top dermatologists opine that micro-needling is a proven treatment method for deleting acne scars. The micro-needling process operates with a needle studded roller or pen to produce invisible micro-punctures in the skin.
As a consequence, the healing power of the skin fabricates new fibrous tissue along with balancing the levels of collagen. Skin becomes smooth with the aid of collagen-building platelets and growth factors. Furthermore, micro-needling elevates blood circulation to the fresh-forming skin. Hence, it revitalizes the skin.
