The most serious scarring is often caused by the more severe forms of acne and will have nodules which are more likely to leave a permanent acne scar than most other typesof acne. The best way to deal with acne is to get treatment as soon after the acne has appeared in order to prevent severe acne and acne scarring. So if you find you have nodules then visit your doctor or dermatologist and they will prescribe a course of treatment for you.
But if you happen to have serious acne scarring from previous bouts then there are some things that you can do.
One such form of treatment is laser resurfacing which can either be carried out at your doctor or dermatologist's clinic. This form of treatment removes the damaged top layer of skin and then tightens the middle layer which leaves the skin smoother. Such treatment can take anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour to complete. Prior to the treatment the doctor will numb your skin first with a local anesthesia in order to lessen any pain you may feel. Normally it takes between 3 to 10 days for the skin to heal completely after this treatment.
Another way for treating acne scarring is by dermabrasion which uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument that wears down the surface of the person's skin. Then as the skin heals after this treatment a new smoother layer of skin replaces the abraded one. However you may find that it takes longer for your skin to heal after this type of treatment and can take from 10 days to 3 weeks for it to heal completely.
It is important to remember that both these forms of treatment for dealing with an acne scar will turn the skin red and this redness may last for several months. Also these types can only be given to a person when there acne is not active.
However some doctors or dermatologists may suggest a more mild chemical peel or microdermabrasion instead (it all depends on the severity of your scars) and these can be done right away in their offices and will help to improve the appearance of any acne scar that you have. But some doctors may suggest surgery where the scars are deeply indented.
