If you have experienced acne in the past successfully, you may feel that
the battle has been won! Unfortunately, scars and red marks can persist
for months – even years. The good news is that there are treatments and
products that pave the way for a radiant, more even skin.

Here
we are revealing to you how to get rid of acne scars as well as stretch
marks or other scars as quickly and safely as possible.
What are Acne Scars?
We usually refer to acne scars in general, but there are many different types with names like box scarring, ice pick scarring, rolling scars depending on the depth, width and type of scar.
Acne scars or hyperpigmentation?
Acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur simultaneously as a result of acne or a wound on the skin, but they are actually very different cases and therefore require a different approach to treating them.
So how do you get rid of acne scars and dark spots?

1. MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT

There are many treatments out there to help fade various forms of acne scars – including lasers and microdermabrasion – but microneedling is probably best for scars and also helps reduce the signs of aging. The procedure involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-nodules on the skin, which initiates cell renewal, resulting in greater production of collagen and elastin.

The earlier it starts the better, as it is much harder to deal with old scars.

An advanced and favorite microneedling method is the FRACTIONAL RF

Combines radio frequency technology with microneedling: The machine transmits energy into the skin via radio frequencies. It is made with two different heads. We can choose the most invasive with insulated needles or the non-invasive head with no injuries. The needles will penetrate the skin at the depth we decide and will channel the RF energy. Comparing it with laser the downtime is minimum.

2. PEELINGS
If your scars are not very deep, a chemical peel is a good choice.

In addition, the peels that you can do at home have come a long way in recent years and there are many excellent options that work to rejuvenate the skin surface, reducing the depth and intensity of acne scars. Use a product that offers gentle chemical exfoliation, eg a PHA toner such as MEDIK8 Press & Glow


3. AHAs – ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS
As with scars, acid peels are also a great way to fade brown spots, as they will help exfoliate the skin quickly and fade discoloration. Alpha-hydroxy acids such as glycolic, lactic and Mandelic acid work by dissolving the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together, revealing a brighter, fresher skin!

Favorite choices in creams with AHAs are Innoaesthetics Age Rescue 24h Cream and Medik8 Balance Moisturizer which contains glycolic acid activator and probiotics to balance acne prone skin.


4. RETINOIDS
It is one of your best choices to fight aging and scars at the same time! Read everything you need to know as well as what Vitamin A product to choose HERE
