Acne scar is caused by infection, inflammation or external pressure, often because acne is not treated in time, and the inflammatory reaction of skin cells causes damage to skin tissue, leading to scar formation. Because of the variety of acne, the forms of acne scars are also varied. The more serious the inflammatory reaction is, the more serious the skin tissue damage is. The deeper the inflammation, the deeper the skin tissue damage, and the more serious the acne scar may be left in the future.
Therefore, acne and acne scar are two major aspects that need to be considered when treating acne. A perfect acne treatment plan must be a complete drug treatment combined with intradermal surgery, including finding a professional dermatologist in time when the disease breaks out, early prevention of acne scars that may form in the future, effective treatment of acne that is breaking out, surgical correction of acne scars that have already formed, and minimizing the damage of acne to the skin as much as possible.
What method can you remove the existing acne scar? First of all, let's learn about the types of acne scars:
Pocket scars can be mainly divided into spots (that is, acne marks) and scars (depressions or bulges). Among them, spots are divided into red and black.
Erythema is caused by inflammation of cells in the original acne area, which leads to vasodilation. However, after the acne disappears, the blood vessels will not contract immediately, forming a temporary erythema with a flat red color. Skin will be redder when the temperature rises or when you exercise. This erythema is not a scar, and it will gradually fade in 4 to 6 months.
Black spots are pigmentation after acne inflammation, which leaves a dark and dirty color in places longer than red acne, making the skin dull. In fact, these blacks will gradually disappear over time, so impatient people have to apply some ointment that can remove melanin or accept fruit acid rejuvenation and vitamin C introduction.
This stain and pigmentation will disappear naturally after a long time, so it is generally a temporary fake scar, not a real scar. Of course, erythema and melanin precipitation will take some time to disappear, otherwise the contracted blood vessels will not contract, and the redness will not retreat; Melanin can't disappear unless the pigment that should have been transported away by cells is transported away.
Generally speaking, this kind of false scar will disappear automatically in about half a year on average, but some people will take longer than the average time because of their different physical fitness, such as one year or even two years. People who can't wait can only apply A- acid, azalea acid, fruit acid or L- vitamin C for external use, or accept fruit acid rejuvenation, dye laser, pulse phototherapy and vitamin C introduction to accelerate the disappearance of spots.
True scars are divided into concave holes and hypertrophic scars. Real scars don't disappear automatically, only after treatment by dermatologists.
Pits and scars are common. When the acne inflammation is too strong and there is too much collagen in the dermis, it may leave a pit because of the collapse of the dermis. Many acne patients like to squeeze acne by hand. If they are squeezed improperly, it will greatly increase the chance of suppurative infection, and it is easy to turn small acne and small acne into big acne, thus leaving scars. Once the pit is created, it will not disappear automatically. You have to save it by laser dermabrasion.
Hypertrophic scar, commonly known as "crab's foot swelling", is usually determined by congenital constitution, which is the most difficult to treat and easy to recur. This kind of scar is just the opposite of concave scar. This is a very thick scar. In the place where the acne has grown, there are obvious red protrusions, and the appearance is red and swollen. What's more, it will grow up slowly because of scratching or external stimulation. It often happens to patients with special physique. Because the fibroblasts in the dermis of these patients are too active, they overreact during wound healing. As a result, the dermis is not depressed, but raised after being damaged by inflammation, and becomes hypertrophic skin tissue hyperplasia.
The problem of acne scar covers the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the skin, and the consequences include skin damage, tissue defect and scar formation, which not only causes skin appearance defects, but also affects the normal tissue structure of the skin. In order to improve the problem of acne marks and scars, it is necessary for doctors to diagnose and evaluate different types of scars to determine the treatment plan.
Treatment of black acne scar;
A) Use L-C skin care products or L-C ultrasound to introduce: brighten skin tone and promote skin collagen production.
B) Use skin care products containing fruit acid: simultaneously treat acne and improve acne scars, promote the exfoliation of old and waste keratin, help skin renew, improve pigmentation after acne and fade dark spots.
C) Efficient whitening products or whitening courses: slow down the production of deep melanin and accelerate melanin metabolism.
Treatment of red acne scar;
A) Pulsed light: It can contract microvessels and lighten scars, but it needs multiple treatments. Pulsed light can also increase the collagen in the dermis, make the depression no longer obvious and enlarge the pores, so it is also suitable for skin with erythema and slight pits.
B) Use skin care products containing fruit acid: simultaneously treat acne and improve acne scars, promote the exfoliation of old and waste keratin, help skin renew and improve pigmentation after acne.
C) Purification treatment: anti-acne, pore removal prevention and intensified anti-acne treatment.
Treatment of concave scar;
A) Fruit acid rejuvenation: high concentration fruit acid is used to remove the aged stratum corneum, accelerate the renewal of keratinocytes and a small amount of epithelial cells, and promote the proliferation of elastic fibers in the dermis. It has a good curative effect on superficial acne scars and can also improve the coarseness of pores, but it takes many courses to eliminate, but its advantages are safety and few side effects;
B) Filling method: implant (such as collagen) is injected to make the concave part bulge and flush with the surrounding skin tissue;
C) Pulsed light: Stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, thicken the dermis and flatten the pits. At the same time, because pulsed light can stimulate the proliferation of collagen, this method has certain effect on red acne marks and newly generated shallow pits.
D) deep skin regeneration treatment: for deep acne, remove pores, dilute acne scars and brighten skin tone;
E) Laser dermabrasion: It is suitable for deep pits, and can be performed according to the depth of pits in the skin. It only takes 2~3 times to get good results, and the effect is lasting. However, due to the trauma of laser dermabrasion, it is necessary to cooperate with postoperative maintenance. If the postoperative care is not good, the skin may turn red and black.
Treatment of hypertrophic scar;
A) Local subcutaneous injection: For swollen crab feet and hypertrophic scars, drug injection is directly injected under the skin of acne scars for treatment. This drug is mainly composed of steroids, which has the functions of anti-inflammation and dissolving inflamed tissues. This is the simplest and most effective treatment for hypertrophic scar at present. After several injections, the acne scar can gradually soften, from convex to flat, but the pigmentation of scar tissue can not fade, so there will still be some traces after healing, which can not completely restore the appearance of normal skin.
B) Phototherapy, such as laser, such as dye laser, can smooth hyperplastic scars.
Several points for attention in the treatment of acne scars;
1. No matter what kind of acne scars are treated, the acne should be cured first, so that the acne will no longer grow. Otherwise, the treatment of acne scars and the growth of new acne will not achieve the best results.
2. After treatment, it can be combined with external whitening skin care products and fruit acid products to enhance the curative effect, on the one hand, it inhibits melanin production, on the other hand, it promotes skin metabolism and accelerates melanin elimination. Such as L- vitamin C, androgen, A acid, kojic acid, etc. However, whitening skin care products and fruit acid skin care products are more effective for melanin precipitation, but the effect on reddish acne marks is relatively poor.
3. The mask is also helpful for the recovery of acne marks. On the one hand, the mask can increase the skin surface temperature, generate self-help circulation on the face, and help the skin tone to be even. At the same time, the repair nutrients contained in the mask can be better absorbed by the underlying skin; On the other hand, regular application of facial mask helps to accelerate skin metabolism and help skin repair itself.
4. Pulsed light therapy can be combined with fruit acid therapy and L-C introduction. How to combine it depends on the skin condition at that time. Pulsed light can improve the treatment of spots, especially erythema, because pulsed light can eliminate microvessels. However, due to the different proliferation depths of microvessels in the skin, once they are done, they will be weak and need multiple treatments.
5. After the medical beauty treatment, the most important thing is the maintenance after the treatment. Only by proper maintenance can the effect of the course of treatment be maintained for a long time.
6. First of all, pay attention to sun protection after treatment. A large amount of ultraviolet radiation will cause pigmentation on your convalescent skin, which will make the color of acne scars heavier and stay longer, so it is not suitable for outdoor activities for too long.
7. It is better to choose autumn and winter seasons for the treatment time of fruit acid skin changing or laser skin changing, but if you can do a good job of sun protection, you can actually do it every season.
8. In terms of food, you can add some foods that can help skin color and accelerate skin healing, such as:
Lily, mung bean, tremella, lotus seed, coix seed, etc. Have the function of clearing fire and making skin even.
Nuts include almonds, walnuts and sesame seeds.
Vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C and vitamin A, such as cauliflower, cabbage, green vegetables, tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, kiwifruit, etc.

The acne marks and scars of youth need to be removed urgently!
Acne, called acne in modern medicine, is a skin disease with complicated etiology, which can be caused by many factors. It often occurs on the face, chest, back and limbs, showing acne, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and spots. Without treatment or improper treatment, it is easy to leave pigmentation or scars, which may cause lifelong regret to patients and even great harm to physical and mental health.
There are two kinds of marks left by acne, one is red mark and the other is pigment spot. The red mark is actually caused by vasodilation, and the pigment spot is caused by abnormal pigment deposition. These two kinds of marks can slowly disappear with the passage of time, and in severe cases, they may not be retired for life.
If the fading process is too long, it may affect your daily social activities and beauty. Youth acne is actually a small infection focus. After the inflammation, redness, swelling and heat pain subsided, it entered the repair period. At this time, the skin metabolism of acne is still in a vigorous stage. If active measures can be taken at this stage, the repair time will be greatly shortened.
In addition, because this part of the skin has just disappeared after acne, the normal defense mechanism has not been established, and it is more susceptible to external factors such as ultraviolet rays, thus aggravating the formation of spots, so it is urgent to remove acne marks and scars!

■ Things you must never do:
1. Don't wash your face often. Washing your face twice a day is a rule that you must abide by. Often washing your face will stimulate the secretion function of sebaceous glands, because once the oil on the skin surface is washed away, sebaceous glands must work overtime to play their natural protective function, so that sebaceous glands will become drier and more lively.
2. Don't over-stimulate the epidermis with scrub and astringent water scrub and astringent water, which will worsen the inflamed skin condition and aggravate the secretion function of sebaceous glands, and make the situation worse. In addition, astringent water can shrink pores, making the blocked pores smaller.
3. Never pick, squeeze or pick acne. Each life cycle of acne is only 3-4 days. It will naturally disappear or fester. If you squeeze with your hands or tools, it won't help. On the contrary, it will cause secondary infection due to bacteria on your hands, or blood stasis under your skin, leaving scars that will disappear for 4-6 weeks due to the strength of squeezing. In addition, the wounds caused by digging and squeezing, after repeated stimulation, skin hyperplasia, forming raised scars.
4. Never smoke. Nicotine in cigarettes will shrink the microvascular wall, accumulate toxins in blood and lymph, and reduce the reoxygenation rate of skin cells, thus weakening the healing ability of skin and easily forming cross infection of acne wounds.
5. Eat less spicy, fried and high-calorie foods, although these foods will not directly lead to the formation of acne. But it will "worsen" the condition of acne, because these foods will increase the load capacity of the heart, reduce the quality of vitamin K in the blood, and indirectly induce the formation of acne.
■ Possible causes of acne:
As we said before, the cause of acne is only excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. It stands to reason that acne should disappear after puberty. But in fact, nearly 30% of people still develop acne after puberty, which is most likely caused by the following reasons:
① Endocrine disorder has always been an important culprit in inducing acne. If the secondary parts of acne always stay in chin and temple, it is necessary to see Chinese medicine or western medicine to regulate endocrine. Solving this problem is an important task.
② Digestive system problems, such as constipation, habitual diarrhea, hyperacidity and ulcer. It will lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body and the waste will not be discharged normally. At this time, the reflective part of the digestive system-the mouth; Acne will also appear on both sides of the lines.
(3) Stress, such as moving to a new home, going abroad, changing jobs, getting married, having children, taking exams, etc., will also cause imbalance in physiological functions.
Lifestyle, eating habits, sleep quality, long-term fatigue, excessive alcohol and tobacco are also chronic reasons for the cessation and recurrence of acne, and the destructive power cannot be ignored.
⑤ When the climate changes and the temperature rises suddenly, the conduction code secreted by sebaceous glands will temporarily fail, which will also cause short hair acne. If handled properly, it will disappear in a few days.
8. Drugs that stimulate certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, diet pills, menstrual drugs, or drugs containing bromide and iodide, will stimulate endocrine disorders or cause toxin accumulation, forming the so-called "toxic acne".
7 bad habits do not pay attention to the hygiene of hair and collar; Accustomed to holding your cheek and picking your face; Incomplete makeup removal, incomplete face washing and protective day cream are the external causes of acne formation, but they are also the most common reasons.
■ What you must do:
1. Find out the cause of acne and prescribe the right medicine.
Only by thoroughly improving the causes of recurrence can we effectively control the spread of acne. Therefore, please solve the improvement fundamentally according to the induced reasons listed above.
Attention to personal hygiene
Personal hygiene habits determine how long acne stays on the face. If you have acne around your chin and mouth, please don't wear clothes with collars. The collar is a hiding place, and constant friction with the chin can easily aggravate the disaster. In addition, you should always keep the habit of combing your hair behind your ears without leaving bangs, so as to avoid the deterioration of dust and oil stains on your hair and infection with acne.
3. Keep the habit of changing the pillow towel and pillowcase every week or even every day.
Most people don't know, in fact, pillowcases and sheets are the places where dead cells, mites, dust, dandruff and other dirty things are most likely to accumulate, and long-term sleep is more likely to breed bacteria. Therefore, dermatologists strongly advocate and maintain the good habit of changing pillow towels every day, especially those with severe acne, and pay more attention to this.
4. Use less hair gel and styling liquid. If you have to use it, please be careful to isolate it from your face.
Once the fixing components in hair gel and styling liquid are sprayed on the skin, it is easy to block pores and it is more difficult to clean grease and dirt. In addition, washing your hair every day and keeping your hair clean can also improve the acne situation and prevent infection.
5. Pay attention to whether the selected cosmetics contain oily hydrophilic formula.
Friends with acne, sometimes applying some foundation moderately, can have a considerable degree of "concealer" beautification effect, but when choosing foundation and lipstick, we should pay attention to avoid oil-soluble products to avoid acne deterioration. At present, professional makeup brands have developed gouache cream, which is very suitable for oily skin. The texture is refreshing and does not increase the burden of skin oil. Best of all, this dual-purpose powder cream has the functions of foundation and powder distribution at the same time. Don't make acne more obvious because of the use of powder.
6. Do a good job in sun protection.
Once the ultraviolet rays in the sun directly penetrate the epidermis through the wound of acne, they will form black spots like ice gouges on the wound, and even after the acne disappears, they will still leave burn marks like black spots. If you are worried that the sunscreen is too oily, you can use a facial tissue to absorb the excess oil after applying the sunscreen. This will not affect the function of sunscreen, but also prevent the burden of oil.
7. Use protective articles with oil control and fat cleaning functions.
Modern beauty technology has been concerned about the real problem of oily skin. In the past, most oily skin care products can only temporarily wash off excess oil on the face, but the oily skin care products listed last summer also emphasized the functions of "controlling oil" and "cleaning fat", that is, using biochemical or plant ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin. Control the secretion function of sebaceous glands, "absorb oil" on the skin surface, transform oil, and shrink pores at the same time, thus reducing the amount of oil secretion.
8. Be patient when acne breaks out and becomes inflamed.
It's not easy to control yourself from squeezing acne. You can buy a tube of youth gel with strong anti-inflammatory and acne-removing functions, and when acne has not occurred or has occurred, use a cotton swab to touch the youth gel on acne. This can help acne dry up and accelerate the end of life. But please note: youth gel can only be applied to acne, not to the whole face, so as not to excessively stimulate uninfected skin, but to cause redness and swelling.
9. Eat more vegetables and fruits with more vitamins to ensure adequate sleep and normal eating habits.
10. A happy mood is a good way to cure acne.
Don't think that you are the only one with acne in the world. Remember, acne is just an episode in life and will soon pass. As long as you handle it correctly and don't let it interfere with your emotions, you will find it fragile!
■ People who are prone to acne
People after the age of 30 rarely occur, so it is also called acne or youth bud. Who is prone to this disease? In any of the following situations, acne may occur.
1, a person who is developing in adolescence;
2. People with severe oily skin;
3. A thin, black and masculine person;
4. People who like sweets;
5. People who often stay up late;
6, due to the nature of work and environmental conditions and frequent contact with oil (such as gas stations, cooking, etc.). ).
The occurrence of acne is related to sebum. Sebaceous glands in hair follicles are open. If the sebaceous glands secrete too much sebum, the hair follicle will be keratinized by various external stimuli and endocrine hormones, and sebum will accumulate in the hair follicle to form small blisters. This process usually takes about three months. If bacteria grow and multiply in blisters, it will cause infection, thicken and form large blisters, and even leave scars on the face in severe cases. What simple and quick-acting method does acne have? Yes, the introduction is as follows:
●3-minute cleansing method: washing your face correctly is the most basic method to treat acne.
★ 1. Prepare a clean and soft dry towel and mild neutral soap;
★2. Rub the perfume in warm water (22-23 degrees) to make foam. The more bubbles the better. Hold the foam with both hands and wash your face 1 min. Don't push too hard. If you feel pain, stop.
★3. Then rinse with hot water (38-40 degrees) for 20 seconds, then rinse with warm water for 20 seconds, and so on for three times. Hey? It's better to take a bath. Punch your face away from the nozzle, spray your face (with hot water) and pat your face gently with your fingertips. Then spray water for 20 seconds.
★4. Dry the water on your face with a dry towel first, and then gently press your face to absorb water.
★5. Finally, apply astringent lotion. If it feels tight after application, you can apply it several times.
This method must be done once in the morning and once in the evening. It has obvious effect on early, middle and late acne. The following washing method is the extension and continuation of this law.
● Gauze washing method: After applying the 3-minute cleansing method 1 month, whether the acne is relieved or not, you can switch to this method, which belongs to the intermediate washing method.
1, prepare a towel, a soap and a gauze;
2. First fold the gauze into small pieces, dip it in soap bubbles, and clean the forehead, chin, nose, etc.
3. Wrap the gauze around the index finger and middle finger, dip it in soap bubbles, and gently wash the center of the cheeks and the whole face with gauze;
Finally, wrap gauze on the index finger, dip it in soap foam, and gently scrub the soft skin under the eyelid. If you feel irritation or pain, stop. If you still feel pain the next day, it's because you scrubbed too hard. At this time, at least 4 days of "emergency face washing method" should be implemented, and then 3 minutes of cleansing method should be used to wash your face after it does not hurt.
5, the intermediate face washing method is washed once every two days in the first week, once every other day in the second week, and once a day in the third week.
● Advanced face washing method: After the intermediate face washing method is carried out for one month, if it is effective, you can switch to this method.
1, prepare soap, towel and a cotton white glove (good quality), and cut it off to form three finger covers;
2. Soak the gloves with good hands in soap foam and gently scrub the whole face. People with delicate skin can put finger covers on the index finger and middle finger, dip them in foam and clean their whole face;
3. Then put finger covers on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, and gently scrub cheeks, forehead and chin with soap bubbles;
4. Remove the finger sleeve, only keep the finger sleeve of the index finger, dip it in foam and gently scrub the soft skin under the eyelid, and finally wash it with water and dry it with a towel.
● Super face washing method: If the first three methods are used and acne still exists, you can use this method. More suitable for people with acne scars.
1, prepare soap, towel and a gentle toothbrush for children;
2. Soap soap in the palm of your hand and dip it with a toothbrush;
3. Gently scrub rough places such as forehead and chin with a toothbrush dipped in foam; Then wash off the foam on your face with clean water, and finally dry the water on your face with a clean dry towel.
● Emergency face washing method: This method can be used not only for acne, but also for people with more facial wrinkles. Generally speaking, the skin of acne patients is oily. If you use degreasing soap excessively, it will make your skin dry and sad. At this point, this law is used to deal with it.
1. Rub soap with warm water in the palm of your hand, and then carefully put the foam into the washbasin filled with warm water and gently stir it to form a whirlpool;
2. When the water in the basin is about to stop spinning, immerse your face in the water and let the natural flowing foam wash your face for 20 seconds. Then immerse your face in another washbasin filled with clean warm water, and then soak the foam for 20 seconds. Do this three times in a row, changing water and foam every time;
3. When washing with clear water for the third time, add a few drops of moisturizing oil to the warm water in the washbasin and soak for 20 seconds;
4. Finally, dry or press the moisture on your face repeatedly with a towel.
