Laser Treatment: Lasers of various wavelength and intensity may be used to recontour scar tissue and reduce the redness of
skin around healed acne lesions. The type of laser used is determined by the results that the laser treatment aims to accomplish. Tissue may actually be removed with more powerful instruments such as the carbon dioxide [...]

Atrophic macules are usually fairly small when they occur on the face, but may be a centimeter or larger on the body. They are soft, often with a slightly wrinkled base, and may be bluish in appearance due to blood vessels lying just under the scar. Over time, these scars change from bluish to ivory [...]

Prevention of Acne Scars: It is difficult to predict who will scar, how extensive or deep scars will be, and how long scars will persist. It is also difficult to predict how successfully scars can be prevented by effective acne treatment.
Nevertheless, the only sure method of preventing or limiting the extent of scars is to [...]

Life cycle and the impacts of scarring: Some people bear their acne scars for a lifetime with little change in the scars,
but in other people the skin undergoes some degree of remodeling and acne scars diminish in size.
People also have differing feelings about acne scars. Scars of more or less the same size that may [...]

Treatment of keloids: Surgical removal is seldom if ever used to treat keloids. A person whose skin has a tendency to form keloids from acne damage may also form keloids in response to skin surgery. Sometimes keloids are treated by injecting steroid drugs into the skin around the keloid. Topical retinoic acid may be applied [...]

Acne Scars Causes:
Acne scarring is caused by a variety of factors. When acne is produced on the skin as a response to sebum, the body may attempt to target the
inflammation with white blood cells. Once the inflammation has subsided, however, the tissue may have yet to be fully repaired, and as such,
scar tissue will show. [...]

Microdermabrasion: This new technique is a surface form of dermabrasion. Rather than a high-speed brush, microdermabrasion
uses aluminum oxide crystals passing through a vacuum tube to remove surface skin. Only the very surface cells of the skin are removed, so no additional wound is created. Multiple procedures are often required but scars may not be significantly [...]

Autologous fat transfer: Fat is taken from another site on your own body and prepared for injection into your skin. The fat is injected beneath the surface of the skin to elevate depressed scars. This method of autologous (from your own body) fat transfer is usually used to correct deep contour defects caused by scarring [...]
