The first step in getting rid of acne scars and marks is to let the skin heal itself while new breakouts are prevented.
Acne marks and scars are a result of deep lesions and repeated breakouts and can be prevented if acne symptoms are eliminated.
Persistent cysts and lesions that effect adult acne sufferers often leave behind long lasting marks in the form of acne scars, which represent post-inflammatory changes in the skin that are not easily reversed.
Depending on the method you choose, acne scar treatment can be quite costly and occasionally even discomforting or painful. The most common "dermatological" procedures recognized for eliminating acne scars are:
At about $1,500 (or more) per treatment, the surgeons remove the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that abrades the skin. Repeated treatments are often necessary especially if new acne formation is not prevented.
For $750 (or more) per treatment, doctors remove the top layers of skin with a chemical application. Often, this treatment must be repeated several times for satisfactory results. Again, if new acne outbreaks are not prevented, peels may not only fail to bring satisfactory results, but may not be permitted during times of acne flare-ups.
Doctors make injections beneath the skin to replace the body's natural collagen that has been lost. This can be done with collagen or fat taken from another part of the body. The cost is $300-700 (or more) per cubic centimeter for collagen. Results are temporary, so it must be repeated. New acne scars will require new injections.
High-energy light burns away damaged skin at $3,000 (or more) per treatment. Repeated treatments are sometimes necessary. New acne may produce new scars requiring additional treatments.
Small skin grafts replace scarred skin. Doctors punch a hole in the skin to remove the scar, which is then replaced with unscarred skin. Each punch costs about $50 (or more) depending on the doctor. Multiple punches are usually necessary.
