Coming to a decision on how to go about acne scar removal isn't easy. Natural solutions can be cheap, quick, and easy to administer, while chemical treatments can be expensive and complex. Below are a list of treatments that will assist in determining which form of treatment is right for you.

TIP #1: SUPERFICIAL CHEMICAL PEELS

For individuals whose acne scarring is not too deep or prominent superficial chemical peels may be of assistance. Such courses often contain a mix of alpha hydroxy acids such as those found in fruit, and glycolic acids which can be found in sugar cane.

TIP #2: DEEP CHEMICAL PEELS

For those who posses much more severe forms of scarring, deeper chemical peels may be necessary. These commonly consist of a combination of beta hydroxy acids that are oil soluble, and trichloroacetic acids that penetrate deeper into the skin.

Superficial and deep treatments require a series of chemical peeling sessions whereby acid is painted onto the skin, burning the top layers. After a period of over a week or so the burnt skin begins to peel off allowing for the re-growth of new skin. Chemical peels also require the application of prescribed creams for preparing the skin for the peel and for ongoing maintenance, which can last months.

All chemical treatments contain the risk of side effects and their occurrences are more prevalentthe deeper the chemical peel. These include:

- The flaring of acne or cold sores - An inflammation of the tissue around the mouth (peri-oral dermatitis) - Peeled skin may also inflame resulting in unsightly scarring - Increased pigmentation such as transient spots of hyper or hypopigmentation - Complete avoidance of direct UV rays - Lengthy recovery and maintenance procedures - All of which may last for months

TIP #3: ROSE HIP OIL

Rose Hip Oil is the natural form an anti-acne ingredient Retinol and is far more friendly than chemical treatments. It also has the benefit of being able to be absorbed by the body, due to its compatibility with skin cell structure. The oil is extremely effective in improving the texture and quality of skin by increasing its elasticity and flattening out scarring, while improving the color of acne scars and surrounding skin.

TIP #4: NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT CREAM AND EXFOLIATE

One of the most effective treatment methods of involves the use of a natural microdermabrasion and a acne treatment cream that includes Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates, a biological compound found inside the cells of snails.

The natural microdermabrasion polishes the skin and gradually removes the unwanted scars in a much more subtle means than chemical treatments. Working side-by-side, the Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates speeds up the regeneration process by replacing the scar collagen with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers.
