Managing Acne Scars: Treatment Options and Prevention

Acne scars can affect your skin appearance and the way you feel about the way you look and can be a constant reminder of past breakouts. But there is help available. Your dermatologist offers a variety of acne treatment options that can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, as well as different ways to deal with already-present acne scars. You can learn more about acne treatment by reaching out to the dermatologists at the Skin Cancer & Dermatology Center in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, & Trinidad, CO.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars can form when acne breakouts cause damage to the underlying tissues of your skin. You are more likely to develop them if you don't treat your acne.

Properly treating your acne to prevent acne scars requires a comprehensive treatment approach that is tailored to your individual needs. Although some find success with over-the-counter treatments, many will benefit from speaking with a dermatologist and exploring their treatment options.

Treatment Options

Beyond the treatment options available to treat your acne, your dermatologist also offers a variety of options to treat your acne scars directly.

Meet with your doctor to determine which is right for you, but your options can include laser therapy, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, to name a few. What these treatments have in common is that they help stimulate your body's ability to repair itself.
