Why Ice Pick Scars Appear?
The best acne scar removal treatment should include a biological skin rejuvenation protein substance that also contains topical antibiotical peptides that fights acne infection.
Once acne inflammation happens, caused by microbe infection in clogged pores, a person may develop several different lesion types. Smaller red bumps are known as papules. Larger red bumps are known as nodules. Often times, lesions will acquire a yellowish white color. The color is due to pus that has collected on the inside of the lesion; this lesion type is called a pustule.
Acne scars are left behind, many times permanently, after the lesion is healed. This scarring can appear by direct touching of the aggravated area, thus irritating the acne lesion. In order to minimize the incidence of acne scarring, avoid the use of oily cosmetics on the damaged area. The affected skin should be consistently cleansed, and should not be squeezed. Squeezing and picking the area before it is ready to be drained can often cause the lesion to be embedded deeper, thereby causing more severe scarring. In addition to the risk of scarring, doctors use to ask patients not to squeeze facial acne for the rare risk that the infectious material can reach parts of the brain through the bloodstream, causing severe consequences like seizure, stroke, and even death.
Scars are more likely to appear from a sort of acne called nodulocystic or cystic acne; but even when they have the same origin, all scars are different.
Ice pick scars are thin, well-defined scars that make the skin appear it has been punctured with an ice-pick. They are commonly narrower than two millimeters and extend into the lower dermis or subcutaneous layer. Icepick scars are commonly too deep to correct with skin resurfacing treatments like dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.
Punch Excision Treatment for Ice-pick Acne Scars
This method of surgically correcting acne scars is used on severe scars such as ice pick and deep scars. This method uses a punch biopsy instrument, basically a round, sharp "cookie-cutter" instrument that comes in diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. The diameter of the tool is matched to the diameter of the scar to include the walls of the scar. Under local anesthesia the scar is excised with the punch instrument and the skin edges are sutured together. The newly produced scar eventually disappears and may not be perceptible. If it is perceptible, it is more amenable now to resurfacing methods or the application of skin regenerating accelerators.
Some products contain an exclusive skin rejuvenating substance and biological antibiotic proven to be effective for acne scar treatment. They not only work for the elimination of keloid scars and to reduce pitted or ice pick scars, but also prevent scarring and act as a biological remedy for adult and teen acne. They also work in collaboration with accutane or oral antibiotics for severe nodular cystic acne.
