Acne Scar Treatments Review

There has been an increase in the number and quality of filler substances used to help plump up acne scars. Restylane and Hylaform are now available and there are many more to come.The use of injectable fillers for acne scars that are wide, shallow, and depressed yields the most satisfactory and most predictable results.


Scars may be augmented with substances of varying duration. Some short-lived fillers, such as the collagens (Zyderm, Zyplast, Cosmoderm), will only last for 3, 4 months.

The most commonly used fillers for acne scars are those with a somewhat longer lifespan. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) last about 6 months.

Other substances can be used to correct scars and last years or even indefinitely.
Liquid silicone fills atrophic scars permanently due to the formation of collagen around silicone microdroplets.
This is a specialized technique performed by only a limited number of physicians.

Remember: there are many different types of acne scars (ice pick, box car, rolling type scars), and they must be approached using different techniques and combinations of techniques including lasers, acid peels and then fillers as a final therapy.

Do you are looking for informations about Back Acne Scar Treatments?


Like regular acne, back acne usually occurs around puberty, but it can continue into adulthood.
Being out of sight, back acne is often not serious enough to merit therapeutic attention. However, the lesions can become quite numerous and large in some individuals, even leaving shallow scars.
A diligently used combination of topical medications applied daily,especially immediately after exercising, is critical to bring back acne under control.
Sebaceous glands on the back are larger and produce more sebum than those on the face. These larger glands can produce more severe lesions such as nodules and cysts more frequently and these cysts cause scars.

If you have a very light case of back acne, I suggest you to simply apply a 10% alpha hydroxy acid.

If you have moderate to severe cases of back acne I suggest you to apply benzoyl peroxide and alpha hydroxy acid. It’s a very effective regimen.
For severe acne, consider Accutane to prevent severe back acne scars.

When washing your back, if you use a brush or loofah of some sort, always disinfect it at least once a week because it is a real breeding ground for acne causing bacteria.
Remember, the first thing you do is prevent new breakouts from occuring!

Personally, I fixed my mild back acne with apple cider vinegar and Tea Tree oil; this combination is a very effective exfoliant action and it work well also against moderate scars and hyperpigmentation on my back.
