If you've struggled with acne breakouts and emerged victorious, you may feel like you've won the battle. However, many pimples leave their mark on the skin long after the rash has cleared up. Darker marks and spots of red pigmentation can persist for months or even years, but there are some remedies you can use to bring back glowing, even-toned skin. Here we explain how to get rid of acne scars and pigmentation in the fastest and safest way.
Microneedling - There are many remedies to make different forms of acne scars disappear, including laser and microdermabrasion, but my favorite treatment is microneedling. Done by a professional, microneedling is probably best for scars and also helps reduce the signs of aging, he explains. The procedure involves using tiny needles to make micro-punctures in the skin, triggering cell turnover, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.
Peels - If your scars aren't severe, a chemical peel may be a smart option. For less obvious scars, clinical treatment with a low pH acid will make a big difference, Marshall says. In addition, homemade peels have come a long way in recent years and there are now many great options that rejuvenate the skin and reduce the depth and intensity of acne scars. To treat acne scars at home, use a product that offers a gentle chemical peel, Dr. for Gross. Choose a pre-soaked pad for ease of use, or try a resurfacing fluid like a toner.
Laser Resurfacing - Like a chemical peel and dermabrasion, laser resurfacing removes the top layer of skin. This treatment usually has a faster healing time than other rejuvenating treatments. But you should keep the area covered with a bandage until it is completely healed. This treatment also isn't a great option for people who still have breakouts, and it's not as effective on darker skin tones.
Chemical Peels - These are not the kind of face masks you wear on Netflix. A chemical peel is a strong acid used to remove the top layer of skin and reduce deep scars. Some chemical peels are gentle enough to use at home, but a stronger solution with more dramatic results can be provided by a healthcare professional. There are different types of chemical peels, so it's best to talk to a medical professional to find out which one is right for you.
Led Light Therapy - Light therapy has been shown to work on a number of skin conditions, from collagen loss to active breakouts, and recent research suggests that red LEDs, in particular, reduce inflammation and accelerate cell repair. bring. May help with acne, helping skin heal from rashes more effectively. I Where once such treatments were confined to the four walls of a dermatologist's office, now a handful of brands have embraced this advanced mask and device technology for home use. Find one with a red light setting (most do) and use it regularly for cumulative results.
Sunscreen - Yes indeed. It is necessary to protect the spots from the sun every day. Exposure to the sun can darken the scars and make them more visible. If home remedies don't make any difference, a skin care specialist or medical professional can help you with your treatment.
Boxcar - These are broad U-shaped marks with sharp edges. They can be superficial or deep. The more superficial they are, the better they respond to skin rejuvenation treatments. Microdermabrasion and gentle peels are good for almost all skin types. But laser resurfacing needs to be done with caution, as darker skin tends to have more blemishes and pigment changes, such as post-inflammatory pigmentation. It is best to pre-treat darker skin types with 4% hydroquinone for at least 4-6 weeks before starting these treatments.

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
