How to Get Rid of Acne Scars

By Julie M. Jackson

As an acne sufferer, you've no doubt been victim to acne scars, the persistent after effect of an acne break out. Unlike a pimple or blackhead, which normally fades rather quickly, an acne scar can last months or years and depending on your complexion, can look extremely unappealing.

Acne scars cause many people to wonder whether or not they are permanent. Fortunately, the skin on your face sheds quite a few layers, so over time your acne scars will fade away. Unfortunately, this natural shedding process can take quite a while, leading many people to seek out their own cure for acne scars.

The causes of acne scarring can vary depending on the nature of the acne that preceded it, but for the most part, the methods used to get rid of acne scars have remained somewhat consistent. Unfortunately, most techniques to get rid of acne scars have proven to be costly or impractical.

One of the most infamous methods for dealing with acne scars is an expensive and painful surgery called dermabrasion. Getting this surgery can be compared to having a machine sand down your face with harsh sandpaper. Ouch. Dermabrasion is by no means a permanent cure for acne scarring, either; in fact, some patients are disappointed to find that their acne scars actually return rather quickly after their next bad break out.

Of all the different creams and pills out there that promise to help acne scars fade I've found that almost none of them do very much at all, except waste your time and money. It isn't easy to keep up with costly products that you have to use regularly, especially when there isn't much sign of you maintaining results without using said products.

There is a somewhat new solution for acne scars that is far more effective, affordable, and easy to use than any other scar fading method used in the past. This solution, called "skin peeling," works by speeding up your skin's natural shedding process. New skin forms daily, and by shedding faster your helping new scar free skin to forming faster as well. The best part about this skin peeling method is that is easy enough for home use.

The key to finding a solution that works for you is persistence. I had to try quite a few things before I found a remedy for my acne scars. Don't lose hope!
