I have deep acne scars that I want to have treated this year. It’s mostly on my cheeks, but also all over my face. It’s real bad so I’m looking for a medical procedure, not over the counter and topical stuff (I’ve already tried that with no results).

I’m just confused on which type of doctor to see; a Dermatologist? Cosmetic Dermatologist? Plastic Surgeon?
If anyone has knowledge of this area or has done this, I’d really appreciate any help
Thanks.

What would work 100% on my deep blackheads on my forehead. I tried some ripping tape and it didnt really remove ethe black heads because its too deep.

it looks like i have a dent on my face, it is circular and dark..help? I would prefer doing something that does not involve surgery, and I have already tried merderma scaring medication which did not work

I have a zit that i scratched of with my fingernail on accident and i looked in the mirror and it left a hole and it sometimes looks bigger at the end of the day but when i look in the mirror it doesn’t look that deep. Do you think threes any chance it would go away if my skin ever peeled from a sunburn? Or do you think it would go away by itself? I think its really noticeable and I hate looking at it because its my fault its there!

I was wondering I had severe acne years ago and now mild acne. Ive tried everything under then sun. I was wondering what would happen if I tried microdermabrasion, glycerol peel, or deep pore cleansing facial. However I can only do it once cause its so expensive so which would be most beneficial for my acne and scars?

I have old deep acne scars. My face is very pitted. I have had microdermabrasion many times, but it has only improved slightly and the scars are vey noticeable. What is the best treatment to smotth them down and make them less noticeable?

Practically everyone suffers from acne problems at some point in their lives. No matter what your sex, age or skin type is, acne will attack you. However some people suffer from minor acne attacks and others, from serious ones. It is in the case of severe, cystic and inflamed acne that a person suffers from deep acne scars.

There are basically two causes for acne scars. In the first case, a collagen build up in the skin leads to an increase in tissue formation, which in turn leads to keloid scars. These acne scars are generally genetical acne scars. The second cause for acne scars is more common, and results because of a loss in tissue formation.

Acne scars tend to make your skin look funny, and may also reduce your skin elasticity over time. These acne scars may exist as several types like atrophic macules, ice pick scars, superficial scars and deep, depressed fibrotic scars.

No matter what type of acne scars you may suffer from, here are some treatment options that are effective in treating deep acne scars.

Chemical peels are helpful in treating minor and small type scars. However they are not effective in treating ice pick scars and deep rooted ones.

Laser treatment is a comparatively new, but highly effective acne scar treatment option. It can be used to not only treat minor acne scars, but can also be used to treat complex types of scars. The defective skin cells that lead to acne scars are killed by passing light rays to your skin.

Deep rooted acne scars are effectively treated using dermabrasion. Here, skin is physically removed to remove the acne scars. This is why you need some rest after dermabrasion. When combined with punch excision, dermabrasion can also be used to treat minor acne scars.

Acne scars that form due to nodulocystic acne is best treated using autologous fat transfer. With this acne scar treatment option, fat from the other parts of the body is cut and injected into the holes formed by deep acne scars.

If you have deep acne scars left by superficial acne bouts, it is best treated using a collagen injection. This acne scar treatment option helps in leveling the skin surface to normal skin level.

As you can see, there are many treatment options for you to choose from for treating and eliminating your deep acne scars. However this does not mean that the choice of the treatment option to use on your acne scars lies in your hands.

It is a skin specialist who is the best person to help you choose and decide on the best treatment option to be used to treat your acne scars.
