Is It Possible to Get Rid of Acne Scars?

By Julie M. Jackson

If you've had experiences with acne, then there is almost no doubt that you've also spent a lot of quality time with acne's distant cousin, the acne scar. As if being plagued by unsightly blemishes wasn't enough, when acne bumps fade away they often leave long lasting scars!

Acne scars cause many people to wonder whether or not they are permanent. Fortunately, the skin on your face sheds quite a few layers, so over time your acne scars will fade away. Unfortunately, this natural shedding process can take quite a while, leading many people to seek out their own cure for acne scars.

Most acne scarring is caused by white blood cells creating scar tissue after the acne blemish itself has faded away. Over the years, quite a few technologies have emerged to help fight the battle against acne scars, but for the most part these methods have been expensive, laborious, or ineffective.

For example, one way of dealing with acne scars over the years has been a process called "dermabrasion." Dermabrasion is a topic for a whole other article in itself, but let's just suffice to say that it is an expensive surgical procedure that is both extremely painful and expensive. What's worse is that after the ordeal is over, new acne can still form and result in future scarring.

If you don't want surgery, you may think that the best answer to deal with your acne scars are those overpriced little tubes of white stuff that many stores and brands promote as a "miracle cure" for your scarring. From my experience, these ointments just don't work for most people. They all tell you to apply their cream over a long period of time, at the end of which your body probably could have already healed the scars on its own.

There is a somewhat new solution for acne scars that is far more effective, affordable, and easy to use than any other scar fading method used in the past. This solution, called "skin peeling," works by speeding up your skin's natural shedding process. New skin forms daily, and by shedding faster your helping new scar free skin to forming faster as well. The best part about this skin peeling method is that is easy enough for home use.

Well now you know that those acne scars of yours can in fact fade away, and you have a good idea of something you can do now to help speed that process along. Now all there is to do is find a method you want to try, and make sure it's one you can afford to get started with sooner than later.
