Home and Doctor Assisted Acne Scar Treatments

The best acne scar treatments that you can use in the comfort of your own home include ones that contain ingredients such as Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) or lastly, tretinoin (otherwise known as Avita, Renova or Retin-A).

These scar treatments are as follows- dermasponge, which helps erase acne scars and bring back a glow to skin, and Elicina Healing Cream, which helps with the removal of damaged skin cells, and the healing of acne scars. It is available in the form of an exfoliant cream.

Some other best acne scar treatments that must be done by a doctor include chemical peeling, dermabrasion, excision and punch replacement graft, laser therapy, microdermabrasion and soft tissue fillers.

A chemical peel is a solution that is applied to the acne scars to begin new growth of skin.

Dermabrasion is when the damaged skin is taken off with a rotary like instrument.

Excision and punch replacement grafting is exactly how it sounds. An acne scar is removed from the skin and then skin from another part of the acne sufferer's body is grafted onto the spot of removal.

Laser therapy is when laser pulses are used to smooth out the acne scars.

Microdermabrasion is a method whereby a vacuum tube has small particles traveling through it and as gently and as painlessly as possible they scrape away the very top layer of the acne scarred skin to encourage the beginning of healthy, new cells.

The last acne scar treatment is soft tissue fillers.

This is a form of plastic surgery when either polymer implants, bovine collagen or another collagen related type of filler is injected into the skin.
