First we need to understand what acne scars are.

What are acne scars?

Acne scars are caused by the inflammatory response, and endocrine disruption of the hair follicles, sebaceous gland units and their surrounding tissues during the onset of acne vulgaris, resulting in blockage and inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and scarring during the recovery process. Studies have shown that male patients, patients with a family history of scarring, and patients with more severe acne inflammation are more likely to develop scars.

2 Classification of acne scars?

Clinically, we can categorize acne scars according to their presentation: depressed scars, hyperplastic scars, polymerized acne, necrotic acne, cornified necrotic acne, and tropical acne.

Among them, depressed scars are the most common, which can be categorized into pointed cone type, carriage type and rolling type. Clinically, a clear diagnosis and accurate typing is needed to accurately choose the treatment method.

How to treat acne scars instead.

In the early stages of acne scar formation, many people do not have enough knowledge about it and still treat the scars the same way they treat acne, which, if not treated properly, can easily cause irritation, triggering the proliferation and enlargement of the scars.

If the scars are not large and numerous, they can be treated with drug injections plus superficial radiotherapy. The injections serve to flatten the scars and the superficial radiotherapy serves to further repair the tissue and inhibit proliferation and recurrence.

If improper or untimely treatment results in the enlargement of the scar growths, some of which may be contiguous, treatment becomes more difficult. That's when a combination of surgical treatments is needed.

Nowadays, the treatment methods for acne scars include image-beam laser, laser resurfacing, and complex skin rejuvenation.

1. Through the focused micro-image beam laser technology, it produces nearly one hundred uniformly arranged micro-laser light columns, each of which is only micrometer in size. When acne scars are treated with image beam laser, only the acne scarred part of the skin's surface is affected by the laser, while other normal tissues are not affected in any way. The preserved portion of the skin that is not affected by the laser accumulates more collagen and active enzymes, which speeds up the healing process by several times, and the patient quickly returns to normal work and life in a very short period of time.

2. Removing facial acne scars by laser grinding is a restorative procedure that grinds the superficial layers of the epidermis and dermis to improve their skin defects and treat certain diseases. After the affected area is ground, its surrounding normal skin turns inward, and the remaining skin appendages hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands proliferate to rapidly form new epidermis, leaving little to no scarring after treatment.

3, composite color light rejuvenation system in the blue light is very high purity, penetration is very strong, but does not harm the normal skin. It targets the sebaceous glands, acts on the sebaceous glands, reduces oil secretion, shrinks the pores and thus removes the basis for acne scars to arise; secondly, the blue light can kill the propionate bacillus and chaffeicolous spores that cause acne scars, and the combined effect of the two aspects makes acne scars fade, and the effect is more significant.

The best treatment for acne scars also depends on the individual's specific situation and needs, and more attention should be paid to improving one's endocrine and skin hygiene in daily life. Specific repair methods should go to a regular hospital to find a professional scar specialist to do the appropriate consultation.

What can I do to prevent acne scars?

1. Facial cleansing:

Dust, skin excretions, and bacteria can adhere to the surface of the skin, and all of these substances can block the opening of the hair follicle, so it is very important to pay attention to skin cleansing.

2. Dietary attention:

Take a light diet, avoid spicy, oily and fried stimulating foods, and keep your bowels clear.

3. Regularity of work and rest:

Adequate sleep plays an important role in maintaining skin renewal and function.

4. Notes:

Avoid squeezing the affected area with your hands, so as not to cause pus and inflammation, and form scars and pigmentation after the abscess breaks and absorbs, affecting aesthetics.
