Do have mild scars because of pimples or acne? Do you want to get them treated and reduce their appearance? Treatments will be most effective if you have macular acne scars, pigmented scars or mild atrophic scars. The dermatologist will first assess your skin photographically, in special lighting and a physical examination. After assessing, they will make a treatment plan that will treat your scars and give you satisfactory results.
Mild scarring is not even visible at a social distance of 50 centimeters. Macular scars are a type of mild scar. In these scars, the skin colour may change but there generally isn’t a lot of scarring, atrophic change or pitting on the skin. Lasers can be used to treat acne scars but there are some non-laser procedures as well that are used in combination for best results.
Non-laser treatments: Chemical peels and TCA Cross can be used to treat mild scarring. Traditional skin specialists use microdermabrasion or dermaroller. Nowadays, there is a procedure called dermapen which is replacing dermaroller as it is safer and more effective than dermaroller. Except for chemical peels and TCA cross, all the procedures can be combined with PRP. This gives better results.
* Chemical peels: Chemical peel is a useful treatment for erythematous scars, hyperpigmented macular scars, atrophic mild superficial scars, and grade I and II scars. Chemical peels exfoliate the epidermis or the skin’s superficial layer, removes the dead skin cell layers and stimulates collagen formation and skin rejuvenation. The peels improve the depth and contour of the scar, and soften them. They improve the overall texture, tone, and appearance of the skin. The peels use alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid like salicylic acid, mandelic acid, azelaic acid and mainly glycolic acid. Chemical peels are safe for hyperpigmented scars and darker skin types as well.
*Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure. During this procedure, a simple machine abrades the epidermis of the skin. In this procedure, the dead and dull skin layers are mechanically removed with a special applicator that has an abrasive surface.
*Microneedling/Dermaroller:- In this procedure, a handheld roller device that has multiple medical-grade microneedles attached to one side is used. The dermaroller is rolled on the scarred skin in a star-shaped direction. This causes micro-injuries on the superficial papillary dermis and skin surface. These micro-injuries help in stimulating collagen and rejuvenating skin.
*Dermapen:- as it is a more advanced, accurate, safer and effective technique. It also aids collagen induction and skin rejuvenation.
The dermapen is more effective than the dermaroller.
*TCA cross:- Which is specially done for icepick scars. TCA cross is generally used for deep scars and icepick scars in combination with other treatments. But in some cases, it may be used for mild scars as well ice pick scars are filled to a large extent.
*Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy (PRP): This treatment is carried out in combination with the above-mentioned procedures. PRP is not done with chemical peels or TCA cross. But PRP can be done in combination with microdermabrasion, dermaroller and dermapen.
Because your own blood is used in this procedure, this procedure is safe and does not have any side effects. If your scars are mild, treat them immediately or at the earliest.
Your treatment modality will be decided based on skin type, acne scar type, and existing acne and on your expectations.
The same treatments are not effective on all acne scar patients. In fact, the same treatments don’t give the same results in any two people because every individual has mixed scars. These mixed scars have different intensities, depths and different types and scar combinations. Each individuals skin may have a different response to each of the procedures.
The treatment for mild scars usually takes 3-6 months and treatments for patients with severe scars may take a year or year and a half. Unfortunately, acne scars are permanent.
