Acne comes in different forms like whiteheads, blackheads, papules (small red bumps), pustules (pimples; papules with pus at their tips), nodules (solid and painful lumps under the skin), and cystic lesions (pus-filled lumps underneath the skin). It typically appears on the chest, shoulders, forehead, face, and upper back.

Acne is mostly a cosmetic problem that’s usually treated and prevented at home with a good skin care routine. However, many individual patients with severe acne problems also suffer from acne scarring, low self-esteem, and depression.

4 Common Treatments for Acne and Acne Scars

Although most cases of acne breakouts eventually go away with the help of skincare products, the healing process takes a long while. There’s also a huge chance of active acne developing into a permanent scar if not treated properly.  If you’re looking for an effective treatment for both severe acne and acne scarring, here are some of the most common treatments to ask an aesthetic specialist about:

• Laser Therapy – Laser resurfacing treatments for acneic skin improves the appearance of skin tone and texture by breaking up the scar tissues on the outer skin layer. This treatment also boosts the body’s collagen formation for clearer, softer, younger-looking skin. However, patients with active acne and dark skin tones might not be a good candidate for this acne scar treatment plan. Make sure to consult with a board-certified physician before the procedure to find out if this is the best acne scar removal option for you.
• Chemical Peels – A chemical peel is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for acne and other common skin conditions. Patients utilize the correct peel treatment to achieve clearer skin free of common skin issues like wrinkles, uneven skin texture, acne scars, sun damage, and age spots. Unlike other laser treatments, chemical peels work well in different skin types and tones.
