The act of squeezing and squeezing blackheads and pimples leave marks on the face, which are the acne scars. These can be small holes spread on the forehead, cheeks, side of the face and chin, which do not come out alone, requiring specific treatment.

1. Creams and remedies to apply on the face
The dermatologist may recommend the use of creams that promote the formation of collagen to pass on the face, every day, after cleaning the skin properly.

When the teenager still has many pimples, but it is already possible to observe that scars are becoming scarred on the skin, one must redouble the treatment of acne, in order to prevent scars.
2. Dermabrasion or Microdermabrasion
It is a type of exfoliation made with small equipment with a diamond tip or with aluminum oxide crystals, which 'sand' the skin by removing its outermost layer, leaving the face thinner and more uniform. This increases the performance of fibroblasts and the production of collagen that gives firmness and support to the skin, and the result is a firmer and smoother skin. This peeling of the outer skin allows a better entry of acids and creams indicated to complement the treatment with this type of product, although microdermabrasion can also be used in isolation.

4. Microneedling with DermaRoller
This treatment consists of passing the DermaRoller, which is a small roll filled with small needles lined up, throughout the scarred region, in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions. The small needles will penetrate all the skin, causing small wounds, which when healing will form a more uniform and smooth skin, because it promotes the increase of new collagen fibers in the injured skin.

Treatment with several types of laser are indicated to remove acne scars, good examples are CO2 lasers, Erbium-Yag and Nd: Ag, for example. In this treatment the therapist will place the laser in the area to be treated and will emit some shots, which cause a little pain or discomfort.

7. Plasma injection
It is a treatment that consists of giving injections in every area to be treated containing the person's own blood and plasma. This treatment can only be done by a dermatologist and has good results, although its use against acne scars is not very common. The person's blood cannot be fully absorbed by the body and a clot forms, which will form a reorganization of the hematoma, producing new collagen and fibrin fibers, and as a result the small holes in the face are being filled and the result is the skin. uniform and firm.
- It is good for: People who are not afraid of needles and cannot perform other types of treatments.
To start any treatment to remove the marks left by the pimples, a professional such as dermatologist, specialist physiotherapist or beautician should be consulted because they may indicate the most appropriate treatment, taking into account the age, the type of skin that the person has, the depth brands and the time and financial availability that the person has. The ideal is not to adopt just one treatment, but to mix 2 or 3 options to achieve better results, faster.
