Health Tip: Treating Acne Scars

Health Tip: Treating Acne ScarsWhile there is no perfect treatment to eliminate all acne scars, there are remedies that can significantly reduce their appearance. The Nemours Foundations offers this list of potential options :

  • Laser resurfacing, which removes the top layer of damaged skin.
  • Dermabrasion, which wears down the skin, fostering a new, smoother layer of skin as it heals.
  • Fractional laser therapy, which affects deeper layers of skin without damaging the top layer.
  • A chemical peel.
  • Injections or surgery.
