Acne has been around for a long time, probably as long as there have been humans.
And sometimes acne scars are so disfiguring that you may need acne scar removal.
Plastic surgeons have been using several different strategies for removing the scars, and there have also been developed several facial creams dedicated to the removal or minimizing acne scars.
Methods used have varied from simply peeling of the damaged skin for new skin to grow back without the dreaded acne scars, to chemical peels, that were quite drastic methods causing blistering skin, ready for peeling off, but none of these methods were painless or without problems for the patients.
At this point I feel compelled to point out that acne prevention is a lot better, easier and less painful than acne scar removal.
But I am also aware that if you are reading this you are probably past the point where you think there is anything to prevent, as the scars are already there.
However I still want you to look into acne prevention methods such as facial wash, the foods you eat, and the amount of stress in your daily life.
There is no need to start removing acne scars for you to just go out and create more of them.
With the development of laser surgery it has become possible for doctors to make the most incredible kinds of surgery, including skin care with laser.
Because of the precision with which a laser can operate, it is possible these days to remove only the damaged skin, for a faster recovery of the operated parts of the skin, so you can have your acne scar removal done within a shorter time frame then ever before, and as lasers have become even more precise, medical complications from these operations have almost completely disappeared.
