The best acne scar removal treatment should include a biological skin rejuvenation protein substance that also contains topical antimicrobial peptides that counters acne infection.

Once acne inflammation occurs, caused by bacteria 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 lesion is then called a pustule, because its color is due to pus accumulated inside the lesion.

Acne scars appear, often permanently, after the lesion is healed. Acne scarring occurs when acne is irritated, often by direct touching of the aggravated area. In order to decrease the incidence of acne scarring, avoid applying oily cosmetics on the affected area. The affected skin should be regularly cleansed, and should not be squeezed. Picking and squeezing the lesion before it is ready to be drained can often cause the acne 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 possibility that the infectious material can go into parts of the brain through the bloodstream, causing severe consequences such as 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 narrow, well-defined scars that make the skin appear it has been punctured with an ice-pick. They are usually narrower than 2 mm and extend into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. Icepick scars are usually too deep to cure with skin resurfacing treatments such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.

Punch Excision Treatment for Ice-pick Acne Scars

This approach of surgically correcting acne scars is used on deep scars such as ice pick and deep scars. This method uses a punch biopsy tool, basically a round, sharp "cookie-cutter" tool 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. Using local anesthesia the scar is excised with the punch tool and the skin borders are sutured together. The newly made scar eventually fades and may not be perceptible. If it is perceptible, it is more amenable now to resurfacing techniques or the application of skin regenerating accelerators.

Some solutions contain an exclusive skin regenerating substance and biological antibiotic proven to be effective for the treatment of acne scars. 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 solution for adult and teen acne. They also work in conjunction with accutane or oral antimicrobials for severe nodular cystic acne.
