Is It Possible to Remove Acne Scars?


Acne Types


Acne scars might feel like a double punishment: you had to deal with the pimples first, and now you have marks to remind you of it. When the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, acne lesions (pimples) appear. A clogged follicle is an ideal environment for bacteria to flourish and produce pimples, which are red bumps with pus inside.


Acne comes in a variety of forms:


  • Mild Acne: This is what causes whiteheads and blackheads, which almost everyone gets at some point in their lives.

  • Moderate Acne: This might result in red, inflamed papules and red pimples with white cores (called pustules)

  • Severe Acne: This results in painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps under the skin (known as nodules).


The more severe kinds of acne are responsible for the majority of serious scarring, with nodules being more likely than other types of acne to leave deep scars. To avoid further severe acne and scarring, it is recommended to get acne treatment as soon as possible when it arises. Consult a doctor or visit a dermatology clinic in Abu Dhabi if you have nodules.


How To Get Rid of Acne Scars


Most of the time, the reddish or brownish acne scars that remain after pimples have healed will fade on their own without the need for therapy. Picking or squeezing acne, on the other hand, might increase the chance of scarring.


Acne scars might be one of two types:


  • scars that have a gradual dip or depression to them (sometimes called "rolling" scars).

  • Deep and narrow scars


Before scarring can be treated, a person's acne must be under control.


Scarring: Mild vs. Severe


The severity of the scars determines the treatment options. A chemical peel or microdermabrasion may be recommended by a doctor or dermatologist to help improve the appearance of scarred areas in some cases. These gentler procedures can be performed in the office.


Several methods of treatment can help with severe scarring from previous encounters with acne:


  • Laser resurfacing- This procedure can be performed in the clinic of a doctor or dermatologist. The laser smooths the skin by removing the damaged top layer and tightening the intermediate layer. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour to complete. The doctor will use a local anesthetic to numb the area and try to alleviate any pain. It normally takes 3 to 10 days for the skin to completely heal.

  • Dermabrasion- This procedure involves wearing down the skin's surface using a rotating wire brush or a spinning diamond device. The abraded skin is gradually replaced by a new, smoother layer as it heals. Dermabrasion may take a little longer to recover - anywhere from 10 to 3 weeks is typical.

  • Fractional Laser Therapy- Because fractional laser therapy does not injure the top layer of tissue, it acts at a deeper level than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion. As a result, the healing rate is shorter. For a few days, someone who has undergone this type of treatment may appear tanned.
