These different treatments make it possible to blur the scars of "hollow" acne

Quand certaines personnes réussissent à accepter leurs cicatrices dites « en creux », d’autres peuvent ressentir un vrai complexe devant le miroir. Saviez-vous qu’il existe des traitements pour gommer ces stigmates de l’acné ?

There are many kinds of acne scars.Let us quote the hypertrophic scars (which are characterized by stockwalks), flat or white scars (the most common), the stretched scars (which form extensive traces on the skin), the cheloids (which create reddish swelling) ...

And then there are the atrophic scars that dig the epidermis.The latter are complicated to treat because they are often deep and wide.

If the specialists quickly tended to approach the issue of laser as soon as we showed traces of hollow scars, today we know other techniques that make it possible to blur this phenomenon.Here are a few !

Why is a scar atrophic?

When a button is cystic or very inflamed in nature, it can create deep damage in the dermis because of its inflammatory character and the loss of collagen that rages in the dermis.

To put it simply, it forms a kind of ditch within the skin, which heals as is and ends up damaging its structure.

There are 3 types of hollow scars: ice peak (small, narrow and deep), covered wagon scars (often linked to chickenpox buttons) and rolling scars (which form an unequal appearance on the surface ofthe skin and tend to be less deep).

How to absorb this type of scars?

By focusing on chemical exfoliation

AHA and BHA type acids are excellent to smooth the surface of the skin and boost cell regeneration, in particular thanks to salicylic acid and glycolic acid.If you do not have a sensitive epidermis, you can even use them every night in the form of a lotion to blur the scars!

Of course, good hydration is also to be expected because chemical exfoliation can dry up the skin and raise awareness.

By opting for retinoids

Derivatives of vitamin A, retinoids are excellent for fighting acne and scars that can form after the passage of pimples.

Their use makes it possible to reduce inflammation while stimulating cell regeneration and clarifying hyperpigmentation.Basically, it is a very good active to use on the skin when the scars are still young.And "we think that the long -term use of retinoids also helps the production of collagen," explains Brendan Camp, a doubly certified dermatologist in Byrdie!

Despite all their qualities, retinoids still have a defect: they are photosensitizing.So remember to use them in the evening before bedtime and avoid them if you go the next day at the beach ...

By asking your dermatologist a chemical peel

Even if there are peelings on the Cosmeto market, the one that works best on hollow scars remains that carried out by a dermatologist.

The principle ?Cause the skin exfoliation to boost its regeneration and thus obtain fresh tissues.

When the scars are shallow, dermatologists generally use glycolic acid, which they leave according to the needs of your skin.If on the other hand your scars are installed in depth, the practitioner will rather turn on the TCA (trichloroacetic acid) which designed the skin by chemical abrasion and offers very good results.

And of course ... by laser

We could not speak of hollow scars without approaching the laser issue, which is one of the most effective solutions to blur them.

At the moment, there is a lot of talk about the Fraxel laser which is a non -ablative and uses the dermabrasion system.Each laser beam creates intense heat on the affected area and activates the renewal of cells and collagen synthesis - all, without necessarily altering the surface of the skin.

Now that you know everything about the different treatments that can apply to blur the acne scars, remember an important thing: you are beautiful with or without scars.Your choice to blur them or not is entirely yours.The main thing is that you feel good about your skin Anyway!
