Methods for removing acne scars:
1. Medication treatment: Such as Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate Cream and Asiaticoside Cream. These medications can soften scar tissue and inhibit scar proliferation. During treatment, using skincare products with reparative functions, such as those containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid, can help accelerate skin recovery and reduce scar formation.
2. Laser therapy: Such as pulsed dye laser and intense pulsed light. These treatments use laser energy to break down subcutaneous melanin, which is then metabolized and removed from the body, thereby reducing scars.
3. Physical therapies: Chemical peeling and microcrystal dermabrasion are also effective options. The former uses chemical action to exfoliate the skin's surface layer, while the latter uses special crystals to abrade the skin and reduce scars.
4. Surgical treatment: For patients with extensive scarring, surgical options such as dermabrasion and scar excision with free skin grafting may be considered.
Medication should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician. Sun protection is essential after treatment to prevent ultraviolet radiation from worsening scar pigmentation.
