*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you are seeking acne scar treatment, you should be well informed of the various methods of acne scar treatment and what they involve before proceeding with any treatment. You should also bear in mind that the success of acne scar treatment is dependent on various other factors besides the type and severity of the acne scars.

You should consult a dermatologist who will take into account your age, overall health and medical history. He will also discuss with you your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies and even budget. He will then be able to recommend some options taking into consideration your opinion or preference.

There are many types of treatment for acne scars which include inexpensive non-surgical and the considerably more costly surgical procedures. Depending on the condition of the scars, you may want to try non-surgical treatment first before seeking more drastic treatment such as laser treatment.

Acne Scar Creams and Lotions - Acne scar treatment products contain skin renewal activators and biological enzymes that gently dissolve or "digest" the damaged or worn out cells.

Laser Treatment - Laser treatment uses a high-energy light beam to remove layers of damaged skin. This form of treatment is expensive and multiple treatments are often required.

Dermabrasion - An abrasive instrument similar to an electric sander is used to resurface the skin by removing the top layer.

Microdermabrasion - Microdermabrasion removes only the very surface cells of the skin by using aluminium oxide crystals passing through a vacuum tube to remove surface skin.

Collagen injections - A type of collagen derived from the purified bovine collagen is injected beneath the skin to replace the natural collagen of the body lost in the acne condition.

Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) - Fat is taken from another part of your own body and injected in the acne scar skin to fill the holes left by acne scars.

Steroid Injections - In this acne scar treatment surgery, elevated scars (keloids) are flattened by injecting small doses of steroids into the keloids.

Chemical Peels - A special chemical is applied on the top of the skin and left there for several minutes after which it will be removed together with the top layer of skin.

Punch Grafts - Small portions of skin are taken from one part of your body and implanted into the deep-seated scars.

Home Made Remedies - Advocates of natural home made acne scar treatment recommend various remedies such as applying a clove of raw garlic or mint juice, and a variety of natural oils on acne scars.

While many of these acne scar treatments have reported success for many individuals, for others, it is likely that a combination of these various forms of acne scar treatment may be required to be tested.

Also, acne scar sufferers must manage their expectations of success. Non of these treatments offer overnight success in getting rid of acne scars. Time is an important factor in the healing and tissue remodelling process where visible results will be apparent only after a considerable period of time.
