Regain beautiful skin by eliminating acne scars on black skin
You have finally succeeded in fighting your acne, but a new dilemma arises for you? Scars? What a chore ! However, do not despair. If you have succeeded in eradicating your acne, you can do the same with these unsightly marks. Focus on solutions to regain beautiful black skin.
Different types of acne
What do acne scars look like on black skin?
Getting rid of acne pimples is just the first step to beautiful skin. The real struggle consists in erasing its traces of passage. Acne scars are either sunken or raised on the skin. There are three common forms, namely:
-
In crater: shallow with a pockmarked appearance;
-
In ice pick: both deep and narrow;
-
Puffy: very deep, in the form of a mini-cyst.
It is important to be able to distinguish a scar from a pigment spot. On black, matte and mixed skin, discoloration of the complexion does not necessarily indicate a scar left by acne. To be sure, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.
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.
Needing
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.
How to regain beautiful skin with natural care ?
Prefer to use natural treatments? This option is possible, but requires a little more patience.
Use vegetable and essential oils
So far, vegetable and essential oils [15] have been highly prized for their healing, protective and regenerative properties. In addition to reducing scars, they moisturize the skin. You can opt for Jojoba, rosehip or nigella oil. Accompany the vegetable oil with an essential oil to better fight imperfections.
Opt for a recipe based on aloe vera
It's no longer a surprise, aloe vera has healing, regenerating and soothing properties. Simply apply to the scar, massage in, then rinse with warm or cold water. Repeat until stains disappear. If they are stubborn, let the aloe vera act for a few hours.
Brush the scar with honey
The best remedies are often found in our cupboards. To remove blemishes on your skin, apply honey on it and leave for 20 minutes. Thereafter, rinse until your skin is completely clean. If you have oily skin, stir an egg yolk into the honey and brush your skin with this mixture.
