THE SOLUTIONS
How to fade acne scars?
Rest assured, scars can be faded if treated properly. Mild scars fade naturally over time. However, more obvious marks require specific care. To regain beautiful dark skin, here are some effective treatments from modern technology:
The laser
Several types of laser are used depending on the severity of the lesions to be treated, in particular the vascular laser (for simple red pigment spots), the fractional laser (for hollow scars) and the ablative laser (for raised scars). The latter involves burning the skin under anesthesia to renovate and smooth it.
Peeling
This is an exfoliation method based on fruit acid (with or without salicylic acid) that eliminates brown spots on Nubian skin (black, dark and mixed skin). Repeated frequently, the peeling tightens the pores in addition to helping to regain a uniform and radiant complexion.
Needling
Healing is done by puncturing the injured area with an electric pen fitted with micro-needles.
Dermabrasion
It consists of sanding the superficial layer of the skin in order to stimulate the regeneration of the epidermis. The session is done under anesthesia (local or general) and requires non-exposure to the sun for at least two months.
Injections
To quickly fill light scars in the form of hollows, the injection of hyaluronic acid is recommended. It restores a smooth and even appearance to the skin. For raised scars, a corticosteroid injection reduces the size of the scars before passing them to the laser.
Surgery
In case of deep scars, opt for surgery, but only with the agreement of your dermatologist. A few laser sessions will allow you to refine the rendering afterwards. All these solutions are given as an indication. Only a dermatologist can assess the severity of your scars and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Remember that you have to wait for the acne to heal completely before moving on to reducing the scars. It is also recommended to follow these treatments in winter to protect yourself from the sun.
