If you have a lot of scarring from acne, there are many treatment options that can help you with this. Below is information about three options so you can decide what you would like to choose to make your scars go away.
Microneedling
Microneedling can help remove acne scars from your skin. Microneedling is not very invasive and not surgical and can be done by a dermatologist. This procedure can be used for more than just acne scars as it can also help remove stretch marks, enlarged pores, and wrinkles.
The doctor uses an electric device that is shaped like a pen. The device has tiny needles and is rolled over your scarred area. Each needle makes small punctures in your skin that stimulates your skin to repair itself. This also helps the area grow more collagen, which helps tighten and smooth your skin. This is especially beneficial if you are older as collagen levels drop as you age.
You may have to have more than one treatment done to get the best results. The needles are tiny and generally not painful. The doctor will rub an anesthetic cream on your face before the procedure, however, so you will not feel pain.
Dermabrasion
If you have deep acne scars, the dermatologist may suggest dermabrasion to remove them or make them much less noticeable. The doctor uses a device that is a rotating brush that removes the epidermis, which is the surface layer of your skin.
This procedure can be a little painful as your skin will peel for a few days or weeks after the treatment. Once the peeling is finished, you will have healthy looking skin with no scars or less scars. This is not a permanent solution, and you will have to return to have the treatment done over time. How long it lasts will depend on your skin condition. The doctor can give you more information about this.
Fillers
The doctor can also use fillers, which is a gel-like substance that is injected into the scarred area. A small needle is used, and this will not be very painful for you. If you would like, the doctor can use an anesthetic cream on your face before the treatment.
Once the gel is injected into your skin, it generally stays in place for a few months. You will then have to return to have the treatment done again. The dermatologist can tell you how long you should expect the fillers to stay in place. It will take a few days or weeks for the filler to settle completely until you see the full results of the treatment. This will depend on the type of filler used and how many injections you have.
The dermatologist can give you much more information about these treatments. Contact a company like Sarah Oliver Art to learn more about microneedling.

My name is Melinda Franklin, and I want to thank you for visiting my website. My husband Joseph is an executive in the firm where he works. This means we have three to five annual formal affairs to attend. I will be the first to admit that I’m not the most fashion savvy person. For years, I would find and wear what I thought was the perfect evening gown for each event, yet never felt quite as lovely as I thought I should. I would admire the other women and wonder why I didn’t feel as stunning as they looked. Then it finally dawned on me --it was my lack of accessories. The other women wore earrings and necklaces that completed their outfits. I haphazardly put on jewelry and accessories that I knew were mundane. I would like to share some accessorizing tips I’m using now.
