Red acne marks

When acne gets better, some red acne marks will be left behind. These acne marks are not as easy to remove as the original acne. Many patients will leave acne marks on their skin for a long time, and they will become more and more obvious, thus affecting the aesthetics. If you want to lighten the acne marks, you can only use surgery, such as fat injection, which is a good method.

Before using this method to treat acne scars, do a simple test to see if this method is suitable for you. Pull the skin next to the scar with your hand. If the scar disappears, this method should be suitable for you. The collagen used in protein injections is produced from the dermis of the skin, and because the body dissolves collagen, it may be necessary to return for another round of treatment after 3 to 9 months. In addition, it is important to note that it is not currently very safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women to use collagen injections to treat scars.

Fat injection

Fat injection is mainly used to treat deep scars caused by fat loss. When using this method, fat is obtained from other parts of the body, then cleaned and injected into the scar to treat the scar. The effect usually lasts for six months to a year.

Chemical peels

The main treatment for pit-like scars is usually a mild or superficial peel using trichloroacetic acid or alpha-hydroxy acid. For severe acne scars, phenol peeling is required under general anesthesia.

Punch chisel excision

This acne scar treatment is particularly effective for narrow, deep, ice pick-like scars, and involves using a round, shaped chisel to cut the scar away and then suturing the edges together.

Plant liquid method

[Ingredients] 3-5 grams of roasted licorice, about 150 ml of edible vinegar (black vinegar), 2 spoons of honey, 20-25 slices of Bashan lean yam

[Steps] Put licorice into 100 ml of water and simmer on low heat until about 60 ml is left, then turn off the heat. Filter out the licorice, pour the yellow juice into a glass bottle, add, and let it soak for a few minutes. When the water reaches normal temperature, add honey and vinegar, tighten the bottle cap, and place it in a dry and cool place for about 15-20 days before opening and using.

[Note] It is usually recommended to apply this recipe evenly on the acne scars after removing makeup and washing your face before going to bed at night. If the acne scars are severe, you should increase the amount of slimming potato and the number of applications. Be sure to wash your face before each application.

Laser skin resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is different from dermabrasion in that it uses a carbon dioxide laser to polish the skin, which is relatively bleeding-free, but can create new scars or pigmentation if used improperly.
