Treatments and Remedies for Acne Scars

While acne and blemishes can come and go for a majority of people, some acne sufferers are left with permanent acne scars, even after the blemish disappears. Acne scars can be a source of embarrassment and insecurity, but there are treatment options available for dealing with acne scarring.

Acne scar remedies run the gamut from inexpensive, homemade lotions and salves, to more costly procedures performed by a dermatologist or other skincare professional in a sterile office setting.

Listed below are a few of the types of acne scar treatment that are available:

• Garlic: Some acne sufferers swear by garlic as a means to prevent and stop acne breakouts. Others suggest garlic as a natural treatment for acne scars.
• Scar treatment creams and lotions: There are a number of over-the-counter and prescription skin care products that indicate treatment of acne scars.
• Microdermabrasion: A mild abrasive is used to remove the outermost layer of skin, slowly removing the acne scarred skin.
• Surgery: Your dermatologist might recommend mild cosmetic surgery in the event of severe acne scarring.
