The treatments that a dermatologist may use to treat depressed acne scars include the following:
A dermatologist may lift the scar, bringing a scar closer to the surface of the skin which tends to make it less noticeable. In this procedure, patients remain awake but numb so that they do not feel pain. Subcision is a good treatment option in very deep scars. To obtain the best results, dermatologists usually recommend four to five sessions.
This is one of the most effective and common treatments for acne scars. In this procedure, a dermatologist uses a manual or motorized derma abrasion instrument to more deeply exfoliate the top layer of the skin. This is a good option for acne scars that are close to the surface like a shallow boxcar or rolling scars.
This sounds scarier than it is. Dermatologists usually perform this minor surgery to treat very noticeable big acne scars. The goal is to create a less-noticeable scar. This is a good option if the patient has a few big depressed scars.
