Acne Scars form when acne becomes infected and the skin heals itself so that it remains healthy but unfortunately leaves discoloured and / or indented marks on the face, removing them is often both difficult and expensive to remove.

Many treatments for acne scars can be bought over the counter ranging from creams to microneedling. commonly] used treatments for acne scars are the creams or skin masks which can (but not always) be affective but take quite a while for any results to start to show as a large percentage of these creams aren’t absorbed by the skin. Creams are, therefore, wasted and so are not economical.

Another treatment that can be purchased for acne scar removal is the collagen roller. This is a device for micro-needling; you roll the collagen roller over the scarred area of skin opening the pores of your top layer of skin (epidermis) causing it to believe that it is damaged activating the production of collagen and elastin which resulting in the damaged skin healing itself.

Once the derma roller has been used the pores on the top layer of skin are enlarged for up to an hour which is the best time to use creams as they are much better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and boosts the effectiveness of the derma roller.

There are harsher ways to remove acne scars however these are all expensive and need to be carried out by professionals and then they’re not even guaranteed to work! These include; Micro dermabrasion, laser treatments, chemical peals and also skin needling can be done by a professional more vigorously using a longer needle size and numbing cream.

In my experience in acne scars treatment I have found that the most result effective and cost effective treatment is derma rolling at home as it is relatively cheap and as it works by inducing the healing process is the most natural way to heal acne scars.

Please consult your doctor before undertaking any medical treatment.
