in the shops ranging from skin creams to microneedling. Creams or skin masks are the most commonly used for treating acne scarring which can (but not always) be affective but take time for the results to begin to show as a large percentage of these creams are not absorbed by the skin. Therefore creams are often wasted and so are not economical.

Another tool that can be used for acne scar removal is the dermaroller. This is a device for micro needling; you gently roll the skin needling roller over the scarred area of skin which opens the pores of your top layer of skin causing it to believe that it is injured inducing the production of collagen and elastin which eventually heals the damaged skin.

After using the derma roller the pores on the skin are enlarged for as long as so this is the best time to put on creams as they are much better absorbed when the pores are open as opposed to when the pores are closed. This reduces the waste in creams and increases the effectiveness of the derma roller.

There are more extreme methods to remove acne scars however these are all expensive and have to be carried out by professionals and then they’re not even guaranteed to work! These include; Micro dermabrasion, laser treatments, chemical peals and also skin needling can be done by a professional more vigorously using a longer needle size and numbing cream.
