To get rid of acne scars, one should understand what causes acne, the categories in which the severity of scarring can be classified, and the treatment methods for the various types of severe acne. Getting rid of acne scars requires a number of treatments which can be broken down into six categories: Dermabrasion, Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Punch Techniques, Succision, and Augmentation. Which treatment options chosen is determined by the type of scarring diagnosed and the most probable cause of blemish origination. In addition, each person has a different physical makeup and skin type. Meaning one procedure or treatment may have different results for different people. Therefore, treatment should be attempted on a case by case basis.
Treatments range in cost from $750 to $3,000 depending on the technique used. Using the dermabrasion techniques to get rid of acne scars costs about $1,500 per treatment. This procedure is used for scarring that shows shallow imperfections rather than "ice pick" scarring. Laser resurfacing is best when used to treat shallow imperfections. Laser resurfacing can cost as much as $3,000 per session. Using a chemical peel will cost about $750 per treatment and should be used when a person experiences very mild scarring. Punch techniques are used for "ice pick" scars which are similar to deep chicken pox scars. The cost for the punch techniques is typically around $50 per punch. Succision is the fifth technique used for getting rid of acne scars. Most scarring can be reduced with the use of succision, and pricing varies considerably between physicians. For the deepest kind of scarring, augmentation is recommended. This will cover different size areas of skin depending on the patient. Results are typically temporary so multiple augmentations must be done.
These procedures usually require several complicated treatments before a person can get rid of acne scars. An example of multiple treatments would include laser treatments after using punch techniques or augmentation after dermabrasion. It is also not uncommon to see two or more procedures being done simultaneously. There is limited research to prove why some people scar with severe cases, and some don't. It is advised that people considering any treatments for getting rid of acne scars first review the before and after pictures of their physician's previous patients. Important to the patient is a confident yet practical expectation that expects realistic results, not miracles. These methods are not guaranteed and are simply techniques to be tried in order to remove scarring. There is still no medical miracle that can completely remove all scars, although there are many medical scientists consistently developing what they hope will finally be the cure.
Any delayed healing process or chronic wound will cause some type of scarring in the skin. Over 17 million people in the United States suffer from such skin problems. Common breakout areas include the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Certain external or internal problems can actually cause the skin blemishes. For example: changing hormones (typical in girls and women anywhere from two to seven days before their menstruation cycle, most teenagers, or pregnant women), all of which create irregular changing hormones. Stress is also a leading causation factor according to some research statisticians. Some dermatologists also prescribe certain medications that have been proven to get rid of acne scars. There are also topical medications that can help improve symptoms. In addition to these over the counter medications and pharmacy medications, certain antibiotics can also help remove the effects of blemishes.
If skin blemishes persist for several weeks and show up as an infected area that cannot heal, it usually means that fluid is trapped underneath the skin, and the possibility of scarring exists. Getting rid of acne scars can become troublesome if the person struggling with skin breakouts does not completely heal. Even if the treatments were effective, the treatment itself may cause new blemishes. If this were the case, different treatments to get rid of acne scars would need to be used. Obviously, prevention is the best method for dealing with the possibility of permanent scarring. Since skin blemishes indicate an imbalance of two or more factors in the skin, generally hormonal, the chances of scarring diminishes whenever the imbalance is corrected. No matter what, the patient should exhibit hope in Christ that He can and will find a way to cure or otherwise make their life better in some way.' Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou is quieted within me? Hope thou in God:for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." (Psalm 42:11)
