People get different types of scars from acne, and every person is left with different facial topography. Therefore, acne scar treatment must be addressed on a case by case basis. No single treatment is right for everyone.You and your dermatologist together should decide what is right for your type of acne scarring. Since getting rid of acne scars is a complex process, often several of the treatments mentioned here will have to be combined to produce the best results.

Some of the new options in treatment of acne scars include:

Pixel laser

This is a new and effective treatment available for darker skins.There is little or no downtime and one needs anything from 4-6 sittings for effective improvement in the scars.The results are noticeable over 2-3 months and there is gradual sustained improvement.
It is always advisable to undergo laser treatments with dermatologists familiar with them for the best results. In these procedures, there are areas of normal skin left behind to enhance and increase the healing process so that there are no complications from the laser treatments.

Dermaroller

This is an instrument which you roll over the skin. It creates pin point punctures in the dermis. This is perceived by the body as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin with a consequent improvement in scars.This treatment often needs to be used in combination rather than as a single treatment for effective results.

Microdermabrasion

This is the use of a diamond instrument or aluminium oxide crystals to remove the surface of the skin. A new layer of skin comes up to replace the surface of the skin that has been worn down. This is a simple and effective treatment. It is a mild treatment with no downtime. It removes scars by 80%-85%  and proves to be very effective for people who have less number of scars or marks.

Chemical peels

They can help improve superficial acne scars. This form of acne scar treatment is usually used when the acne is not very severe. Multiple sittings are required in order to see an improvement.
