Acne can be a lifelong battle for some people. If you’ve struggled for a long time, you know just how challenging it can be to live with and to get rid of it. And if you’ve finally won your battle with zits, sometimes you’re left with scars that tell everyone just how hard you fought. These can be equally if not more difficult to erase; fortunately, we’ve got some pretty effective treatments that may just work for you.
Dermal Fillers
While classically thought of as a way to give us an over the top pout, they actually have some more practical purposes: Dr. Anjali Mahto told Elle, “Dermal fillers are very good for indented scars. However, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment will need to be repeated at regular intervals – most probably every six months – to maintain the result.”
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a tiny jet stream of crystals that exfoliates the skin. It’s effective, but it can be painful.
IPL Laser
The treatment Kendall Jenner used to rid her beautiful face of acne “reduces redness and skin staining,” says Mahto.
Wear SPF
The most budget-friendly way to get rid of scarring? Put on a daily sunscreen. It will take longer, but it will eventually get the job done.
