Acne scar on the body are generally more difficult to treat than scars
on your face. Reason is because there are more blood vessels supply
blood to your face than elsewhere on the rest of the body. Hence,
wound on the face then to heal faster and better than those on the
body.
Also, there are fewer pilo-sebaceous glands on non-facial skin and
they are thicker. It is the migration of cells from the pilo-sebaceous
glands that heals injury. Therefore the fewer these units, the longer
it takes to heal the wound.
Fortunately there are some treatments for body acne scars that are
effective and they are carry out by either the dermatologists or
aestheticians. For body scars that are red, pulse-dye laser or other
vascular lasers can be used to remove the red component. If the scars
are brown, then the more aggressive lightening agents can be used. And
for depressed body scar, filler can be used to fill up the uneven
surface.
There are many options available to treat acne scars. For less serious
scars, you can actually them alone, over time, the condition will
improve and the scars become less noticeable, blending into the rest
of your face....
