Deep acne scars
February 12, 2008
Deep acne scars can be treated with
dermabrasion. Advantage of this
technique is that the whole face can be treated at once and it is very
useful when scars are too many. In this process the skin is scraped with a machine in
layers till all the pits are leveled. This process is done under general or local
anaesthesia in operation theatre. Dressing is applied which
comes off in 5-10 days depending on the depth of dermabrasion. During
this time skin grows back. Initially the new skin is delicate and pink
and it takes a month or two to come back to normal. In case of very deep scars, 2 or three
sitting may be required.
