How To Get Rid Of Acne Scars Quickly?

 Once you have fought against acne and secured a win, you might feel like you have won a battle. However, the blemishes that are left behind on the skin can make you feel cautious of your appearance. These scars and pigmentation patches can linger for months or even years. Thankfully, there are ways for you to get your smooth skin right back.

What are the acne scars?

Acne scars can refer to a plethora of marks left behind by a breakout. Some examples of different forms of acne scar are rolling, ice-pick, and boxcar scars. However, regardless of the severity of your acne scars, you can get rid of your blemishes. In fact, you can get an improved appearance and smoother skin texture by going through treatment for acne scars removal. Now, even though these treatments might involve some downtime, they are worth it because of the real-time results you will get in relation to your acne scars.

Why do you get acne scars?

Acne can result in infection and inflammation right under the skin. These severely inflamed lesions such as pustule, cyst, and papule can lead to the formation of acne scars. As the acne breakouts penetrate deep into the skin, they also damage the skin tissues lying underneath. Once the acne is cleared, the body will use collagen production for repairing this damage. If there is too much collagen production, the scars will be raised and if there is little, the scars will be depressed.

Also, when the lesions are clearing, the skin reacts with ‘post-acne hyperpigmentation; meaning that the inflammation under the skin, where the lesion was present, has turned the skin-colored or dark. These spots will give an appearance of scars.

In most cases, the acne scars will look like craters or blemishes on the surfaces of the skin. In other cases, acne will result in painful raised scars known as keloids or pink, red, or purple spots on the skin (these are not technically scars as they fade over time). And even though they will fade over time, it is recommended that you get treatment as the natural recourse can take years. At Wellbeing Medical Centre, we have a ton of options for you to get rid of acne scars.
