There are a wealth of treatment options currently available that broadly claim they can effortlessly remove acne scars. The problem is, how do we know which is most effective?.

The first decision that you need to ask yourself is, do I go for a natural or chemical treatment plan. Both have their positives and negatives, so serious consideration is needed. The following highlights some of the more common of such solutions to assist you in making your decision.

CHEMICAL PEELS

For those who posses much more severe forms of scarring, deeper chemical peels may be of interest. These commonly consist of a combination of beta hydroxy acids that are oil soluble, and trichloroacetic acids that penetrate deeper into the skin.

Both forms of treatments require a series of chemical peeling sessions whereby acid is painted onto the skin, burning the top layers. After a period of over a week or so the burnt skin starts peeling allowing for the re-growth of new skin. Chemical peels also require the employment of prescribed creams for preparing the skin for the peel and for ongoing maintenance, which can last months.

All chemical treatments contain the risk of side effects and their occurrences are more prevalentthe deeper the chemical peel. These include:

- The flaring of acne or cold sores - An inflammation of the tissue around the mouth (peri-oral dermatitis) - Peeled skin may also inflame resulting in unsightly scarring - Increased pigmentation such as transient spots of hyper or hypopigmentation - Complete avoidance of direct UV rays - Lengthy recovery and maintenance procedures - All of which may last for months

ROSE HIP OIL

Rose Hip Oil is the natural form an anti-acne ingredient Retinol and is far more friendly than chemical treatments. It's favored position revolves on its ability to absorb into the body, due to its compatibility with skin cell structure. This treatment enhances the skin by increasing its elasticity and flattening out scarring, while improving the color of acne scars and surrounding skin.

NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT CREAM

The most favored technique for removing scarring caused by acne involves the use of a natural microdermabrasion and a acne treatment cream that includes Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates, a biological compound found inside the cells of snails.

The natural microdermabrasion gently buffers away undesired acne scars in a much more subtle means than chemical treatments. Meanwhile, the Helix Aspersa Muller GlycoConjugates speeds up the regeneration process by replacing the scar collagen with a mixture of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers.
