ACNE SCARS AND SCAR TREATMENT PRODUCTS

ACNE SCARS AND SCAR TREATMENT PRODUCTS

Injections

People with keloid or hypertrophic scars can treat acne using the corticosteroids injection. It involves several injections at intervals as your dermatologist monitors your skin’s progress.

Chemical peels

I usually recommend peels depending on the individual’s acne severity, skin type, and scarring. While all peels may not be effective, I advise clients to use trichloroacetic peel, which offers almost 70% improvement in scarring. People may require various trials to realize what works best for them.

Treatment products

Tretinoin

Tretinoin is made from vitamin A and fastens skin cells’ life cycle. This way, the cells divide and die quickly, making new and healthier cells grow. It helps enhance the skin’s appearance.

Altreno

I highly recommend this product because it contains tretinoin that eliminates acne. It is a light lotion that tackles breakouts and moisturizes the skin. It clears pores and hinders cells from being compacted to block these pores by removing the oil in them.
