Acne Treatment - Doing It the Right Way
Mar 16, 2022Acne is a universal problem that has no gender bias. Although it is normally a skin condition that affects people post-puberty, in their teens, acne can affect anyone at almost any age. While it is not life-threatening, it can have a serious impact on both the appearance and the quality of life of a person. Everyone, irrespective of age or gender, wants to look their best. While acne is usually a condition that passes off naturally over time, this is not always the case. Additionally, even after it has gone, the marks and scars that it leaves behind on the face can, if not treated, last a lifetime. These scars and marks affect the appearance and can often make a person self-conscious about the way they look. This in turn affects the way they interact with the world around them and affects their official, social and personal relationships and performance. Acne is not a serious condition, but its effects are.
Acne Treatment Options
There are various acne treatment options available for the removal of acne scars and marks. These include:
- Soft tissue fillers
- Steroid injections
- Laser resurfacing
- Chemical peels
- Skin needling
- Botox
- Surgery - A minor procedure called punch excision.
- Dermabrasion
Of all these treatments, dermabrasion is one of the most popular, both among doctors and patients, for its effectiveness and the fact that it is an outpatient procedure with no downtime.

Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is an exfoliating technique that is gaining popularity globally because of its effectiveness in resurfacing the skin. A special rotating device is used to gently remove the outer layers of the skin to enable fresh, smooth and unblemished skin to grow back. Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic will be applied to the face to reduce any discomfort you may feel. The procedure has been proven successful in reducing the appearance of lines on the face and in improving the condition of various skin flaws including acne scars, age spots, wrinkles and surgical scars. Dermabrasion is a standalone procedure but if required and recommended by your doctor, it can be combined with other aesthetic procedures.
The procedure is an outpatient one and you will be able to return home after it is over. It can take from a few minutes to an hour or even more, depending on the amount of skin to be treated. If there is deep scarring, more than one sitting may be required. The doctor will give you instructions on the skincare routine you will have to follow for a few days after the treatment. The number of treatments required to produce the optimum results will depend on the size and depth of the scarring. Your doctor will be able to tell you more about this after conducting an examination.
If you have acne scars or other facial skin flaws you would like to have treated, contact a hospital with a specialized cosmetology department, which will have specialist doctors and cutting edge medical equipment to provide the best possible treatment to give you the best possible results.
