Today, the basic strategy in the treatment of acne scars is to treat both active acne lesions and the scars they cause as soon as possible. Treating active acne lesions as soon as possible will minimize their negative effects. In addition, in order to start the treatment of acne scars, acne on the face and back must first be treated effectively. There is no single treatment method for treating acne scars. This is because scars of different shapes, depths and sizes appear following the healing of acne lesions. Acne scars can simply be divided into two groups; Those that are raised on the skin and those that create depressions in the skin. Therefore, each scar treatment requires the use of different methods. Patients should be informed about two issues in particular at the beginning of treatment. The first of these is that scar treatment will be time-consuming, and the other is that more than one treatment method will usually be used together in the treatment. Knowing these will increase treatment compliance and success.
The main methods used in the treatment of acne scars are: externally applied creams, cortisone injection into the blisters, peeling (skin peeling), subcision (breaking the ligaments that cause depression in the skin with a needle), Punc excision (surgical removal of hollow areas), PRP (application of the patient's white blood to the skin), needling (stimulation of collagen synthesis by inserting needles of different lengths into the skin), filling and lasers.
Each of these treatment options has different scars. They act through mechanisms specific to their types. For this reason, the scars of each patient are evaluated and a treatment plan specific to that patient is created and applied in a certain order. For this reason, it is of great importance that the treatment of patients is undertaken by experts. The most common mistake today is that patients are guided by non-experts to say that all acne scars will be eliminated by using only one treatment method. For this reason, treating patients with acne scars by people who know where and how to apply all of the above-mentioned methods will increase the success of the treatment and minimize possible negativities.
