The uneven surface of the moon, or pink or brown color, one small pit after another. The white and smooth face was covered with such ugly things…
At an early age, it is a good time to eat on one’s face. This is simply to smash one’s rice bowl.
This acne sequelae, known as [acne marks] [acne pits], can be recruited by everyone who has developed acne. Although acne is commonly known as [acne], some people are still growing when they are not young.
There must be such people around you, or you yourself, because of the wrong handling methods, these ugly pockmarks and pockmarks will stay on your face for longer and longer, which will not only affect your appearance, but also may have a certain psychological burden.
How did these disgusting little pits and seals come from? How should we treat it? This time, let’s talk about this topic.
Acne marks are not the same as acne pits.
Acne marks: The marks left after acne are a kind of repair reaction of the body to tissue damage. When the skin damage is deep enough to the dermis or there is a large area of epidermis defect, the epidermis in this area cannot regenerate and will be replaced by dermis fibroblasts, collagen and hyperplastic blood vessels, so [acne marks] appear.
Under normal circumstances, pockmarks take 1-3 months to fade.
Pit: How do you feel and how uncomfortable the pox marks are, so many impatient people will use wrong treatment methods such as [needle picking] [hand squeezing] in order to eliminate the pox marks on their faces, resulting in obvious depression in the position where the pox is located, thus forming [pox pits] that are more difficult to recover.
Generally speaking, if the skin’s own recovery ability alone, the pits will take about 8-10 years to repair. Yes, this is the consequence of itching hands… Moreover, this repair is likely to be the result of gradual integration with the trend of skin wrinkles, rather than the result of skin [self-repair].
Pox marks and pits will affect the appearance, but as long as you choose the right treatment method, there is still hope!
Treat acne first, then acne marks and pits.
Whether it is to treat acne marks or pits, we must first make it clear whether acne is still in an active period.
The occurrence of pockmarks and pits is largely due to the lack of dermal collagen in the skin. In order to achieve the effect of dermal collagen recovery, most treatment schemes are traumatic to the skin. If acne on the face is still active, this traumatic process may aggravate skin problems due to new infections.
For example, laser is used to stimulate the skin to form a [thermal damage zone], thus starting the skin damage repair process and stimulating collagen regeneration. However, in this process, a new round of infection may be caused by [invasive], especially when acne is active.
Therefore, the small partners troubled by acne pits should first standardize the treatment of acne and then solve the problem of acne pits.
However, if it is found that there are no new acne on the face recently and only simple acne marks remain on the skin surface, then treatment can be started.
How to treat pockmarks?
For pockmarks, the treatment method should be simpler:
- Routine treatment: including selection of external drugs, tartaric acid, photon/laser, etc. according to severity; Use of skin care products: Skin care products containing antioxidants (such as vitamin C, arbutin, resveratrol and ferulic acid, etc.) can be selected at ordinary times; Pay attention to sun protection: Strict sun protection measures are helpful for pigment metabolism.
How to treat acne pits?
However, the situation is more complicated for further worsening pits.
Many treatment propaganda often mentions that different treatment methods can be formulated according to the morphological classification of pits to increase the treatment effect. However, in actual clinical application, two or even three types of pits can often be found on the face of the same person, so it is difficult to treat different types of pits with different methods.
At present, the treatment of acne pits mainly includes the following methods:
- Common treatment methods: carbon dioxide dot matrix laser; Photoelectric therapy methods: erbium laser, erbium glass laser, radio frequency lattice, etc. Other treatment methods: microneedles, injection filling, local blocking drugs (for hypertrophic scar after acne), etc.
Treatment of pockmarks and pits is a long-term process.
Although now with the progress of science and technology, it is very mature to treat pockmarks and pits by photoelectric means. However, it should be noted that laser or radio frequency therapy does not [fill] the lost dermal collagen, but stimulates our own collagen regeneration through thermal action.
This process is relatively long, and clinical treatment is often required every 3-6 months.
If the number of treatments is determined according to the severity of symptoms, it will take an average of 2-3 years to achieve satisfactory results after treatment, which is a big test of patience and confidence.
Therefore, you probably understand that the so-called [folk prescription] that can quickly treat acne marks and pits is certainly unreliable.
I hope everyone who is troubled by pockmarks can choose the correct and scientific treatment method, seek help from a regular dermatologist, and go to a regular hospital for treatment. Persistence, beauty, youth and confidence.
