And the main thing is that age is not a hindrance to this affliction - acne appears both in teenagers and in old people. But representatives of different age categories also treat this differently.

Any inflammation requires appropriate treatment. In addition, an unbalanced diet, insufficient or improper skin care, various failures in the endocrine, digestive and hormonal systems, as well as systematic nervous tension can also lead to acne. One way or another, but the treatment or removal of acne does not always lead to a successful end to this problem. Scars, scars and pigment spots on the skin can become an unpleasant reminder of acne. The reason for this can be called untimely treatment of pustules, self-squeezing them or infection and fungi getting under the skin.

Scarring
Scars that form after acne,are distinguished by shape, color, depth and total area of the lesion, but the methods of their treatment and correction are largely similar. The purpose of treating acne scars is to smooth out the relief of the facial skin, eliminate the inflammatory process, normalize metabolism, smooth the skin and restore blood flow in its vessels. Therefore, these procedures are impossible at home, and the use of various folk remedies to combat this particular problem does not lead to the desired result. In this case, it is worth resorting to the services of medicine. If you have decided to get rid of acne scars once and for all, know that you need to take into account your age, skin type, severity of scars and the state of the immune system.

It involves burning the damaged layer of skin with a laser. Such damage to the upper layers of the skin forces the body to produce collagen at an accelerated rate, due to which new skin quickly grows. In the event that the skin is severely affected by deep scars and acne scars, this method can only improve the skin condition and smooth out its upper layer. But there is no guarantee that the scars and scars will completely disappear. Also, in some cases of fighting scars and scars on the skin, it is possible to achieve success by using medium and deep chemical peeling, which is carried out in specially equipped cosmetology rooms and is based on the use of weakly concentrated fruit, glycolic, lactic and other acids. Their action is aimed at dissolving the surface layers of the epidermis. When the above methods do not lead to the expected results, cosmetologists use mesotherapy. This method of treating serious skin damage after acne consists of introducing biological substrates under the surface of the skin in the scar area, with the help of which the intradermal microstructure is replenished. In rare cases, it is necessary to use a surgical method, the essence of which lies in the individual excision of large scars. Practice shows that only with the help of a comprehensive approach to solving the problem, we can easily get rid of acne marks, achieve excellent results and bring your skin to an ideal condition.
