Modern technology has certainly made our lives easier, hasn’t it?  Technology has made advances in skin care possible, including acne scar removal.

New acne scar removal technology has made it possible to see visible results as quickly as two to three weeks.  The downside of this is that each treatment will cost several hundred dollars, sometimes more, but you will be assured of safe, effective and fast treatment.

One of the popular ways to get rid of acne scars fast is with Laser Resurfacing.  This is a medical treatment, which is recommended for people who had a serious bout with acne which left deep pockmarks and dark spots on the their skin.

Laser Resurfacing is only done by professional, licensed dermatologists in an office or clinic setting.  Laser Resurfacing involves removing the top layer of the skin, which has been damaged. As the skin heals, the middle layer tightens up, resulting in smoother skin.  The skin will heal within about three days.

Another way to approach acne scar removal is through dermabrasion.  Dermabrasion uses either spinning diamonds (I like the sound of that!) or a wire brush to wear down the first layer of skin.  The skin will take longer to heal than with laser resurfacing.  After about ten days, the skin will heal into a much smoother surface.

The newest treatment to get rid of acne scars is called Fractional Laser Therapy.  While this treatment uses lasers, it’s not the same as laser resurfacing; this works at a different level than either dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.  The face usually heals from fractional laser therapy within a few hours.  It’s also a less expensive treatment option to remove acne scars.

Keep in mind that any time you undergo any type of laser treatment, you should not have any existing acne; there should be no inflamed pimples or blackheads.
