Acne is a skin condition that affects many men and women and while some get pimples occasionally, some have more aggressive acne. Depending upon the type and intensity of acne people seek different solutions and remedies to treat acne. For most people, acne has its first onset in teenage and is associated with hormonal changes, excessive oil productions and pollutants getting trapped in open pores. Sometimes acne seems to settle down on its own once you grow out of your teenage, for others, it means a life long struggles.
Even if the acne goes away or the scars usually don’t. A pimple may last for a couple of weeks but a scar will not fade away for months.

Laser Resurfacing
Resurfacing means replacing the older surface with a new one. This is an excellent option because the laser can precisely target the problematic area, peel off the dead cells and scar tissues without disturbing the surrounding skin. The tiny spots from where the upper layer of skin is removed with the help of laser are later naturally healed and replaced with new healthy skin cells.
Fillers
Along with scars, acne sometimes leaves behind the tiny pits on the skin, which can only be treated by using fine needles to inject soft tissue fillers. The results are immediately visible and dramatic improvement is seen in the skin condition.
Subcision
This is a mildly invasive form of a minor surgery where a very fine needle is inserted underneath the outer skin layer through a tiny puncture to cut the fibrous tissue binding the scar with the inner layers. This effectively removes the scar which is then allowed to heal naturally in a healthy way. It is an in-office procedure with minimum downtime and immediate results which last for a very long period.
Cross treatment with TCA
This is one of the popular choices for chemical peels which works the same as resurfacing methods. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a chemical peeling agent and is applied topically to remove the scar tissues, which are then replaced with healthier new skin cells.
