And even when you\u2019ve finally gotten past the breakouts, the stubborn scars left behind can continue to impact your confidence and skin health. These acne scars can be shallow or deep, dark or raised, but what they all have in common is how difficult they can be to treat without the right guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"1094\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/doralhw.org\/specialties\/dermatology\/\">Dermatology &#8211; Doral Health &amp; Wellness NY<\/a>\u00a0in <strong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"778\">East New York<\/strong>, our expert dermatologists specialize in advanced, dermatologist-approved treatments designed specifically to reduce and eliminate acne scars.

Each person\u2019s skin is unique \u2014 and so are their scars. That\u2019s why an individualized approach is essential.<\/p>\n<h2>Treatments for Acne Scars<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some of the treatments that you can try to improve your acne scars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Home skin care \u2013 there are home remedies that you can try to treat your acne scars like using black seed oil, rosehip oil, honey, or aloe vera. Although there is no clear scientific basis for these remedies, some may cause further irritation to your skin.<\/li>\n<li>Over-the-counter creams and lotions \u2013 the use of sunscreen can help in limiting the contrast between your scar and your skin. There are also some medicated creams that can help, such as azelaic acid or hydroxyl acid, and salicylic acid.<\/li>\n<li>Laser resurfacing \u2013 this method is used on depressed acne scars by removing the layers of skin and allowing the body to produce new skin cells.<\/li>\n<li>Soft tissue fillers \u2013 your dermatologist will fill your acne scars with collagen or with your own fat to plump your depressed acne scars.<\/li>\n<li>Injection \u2013 injection of corticosteroids can help flatten your raised acne scar if you have keloid scars. Although this method might need several visits to your dermatologist for several sessions of injection.<\/li>\n<li>Dermabrasion \u2013 this treatment uses a rotating wire brush to remove the top layer of your skin resulting in the removal of your surface acne scars.<\/li>\n<li>Chemical peel \u2013 there are different types of peeling treatments that your dermatologist can suggest depending on your skin type and the type of your acne scar<\/li>\n<li>Skin needling \u2013 this is the process of inserting tiny needles into your skin to stimulate your body in making more collagen that can help reduce your scars by smoothing out your skin<\/li>\n<li>Surgery \u2013 if all other methods cannot reduce the appearance of your scar, your dermatologist can suggest surgery to remove your raised acne scars<\/li>\n<li>Skin tightening \u2013 this type of treatment tends to be more affordable than the other treatments. Your dermatologist will use radiofrequency to tighten your skin, and as your skin tightens, your depressed acne scar will become less noticeable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the treatments mentioned can reduce the size and visibility of your acne scars. However the results may still depend on the severity of your scar and your skin type. You may need several visits to your dermatologist to achieve clearer skin and for your acne scars to fade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <strong>Doral Health and Wellness Dermatology Center<\/strong>, we have the <strong>best dermatologists<\/strong> who can help you take care of your skin.
