How Do You Get Rid Of Icepick Acne Scars?

Getting rid of acne scars is a troublesome enough endeavor as it is, but at least acne scars that are less severe or closer to the surface of the skin can be treated with a variety of methods. For instance, laser treatments, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion treatments can all be used to help diminish or eliminate acne scars that are close to the surface or flush with the surface of the skin.

For deeper acne scars though, such as ice pick or “boxcar” scars, different methods must be used. A treatment method that merely smoothes out the surface of the skin or treats the top layer or two of skin will not be effective in treating ice pick scars. Instead, a punch excision treatment is recommended for those who have these severe types of scars, because they can effectively remove scars and even “fill in” the areas that have been left by such deep scars.

Afterwards, almost all dermatologists will recommend a laser treatment or two to finish the job and refine the skin’s surface, which will have the effect of really giving your skin an all-new appearance. This process is the best way of ridding your face of those ice pick acne scars.
