One of the most effective ways of treating scars is dermabrasion. The skin is removed with a high speed brush under localized anesthetic in the area. However this cannot be used for ice pick scars and for persons with a dark skin as they will show changes in the pigmentation of the area. Something similar to dermabrasion is microdermabrasion which again removes the skin on the surface but not with high speed brushes but with aluminum oxide crystals. This is not very effective in removing scars unless they are very shallow.
So what happens when these common over the counter acne products are ineffective? Usually, a trip to the dermatologist is in order but sometimes this comes with a number of caveats a well. For example, some prescription acne medicines come with a number of side effects. Anti-acne cortisone shot can make a person incredibly drowsy for days. Then, there is the HIGHLY controversial prescription Accutane which seeks to close the pores so acne does not return. This drug requires weekly blood tests to monitor the liver due to the potential for liver damage. Yes, the drug is that dangerous! Now is it clear why there is such a demand for natural acne treatments?
