Ice Pick Scar Treatment

September 5th, 2009

Ice pick acne scarring can be quite obtrusive and damaging in general.  They are some of the hardest to treat, because they have a small and narrow appearance.  However, they burrow deep into the skin, which is what makes them so hard to treat in so many ways.  They come with more invasive types of acne outside of acne vulgaris that are also harder to stop and treat, and frankly there are only a few treatment options. 

The first is basically for your dermatologist or doctor to cut them out.  This can leave scars of its own, which hopefully you use the right treatments to help them heal and avoid these as much as possible. 

Second, there is dermabrasion where they basically sweep away several layers of your skin. 

And finally, there is laser treatment.  Laser treatment is supposed to basically stimulate the growth of new cells within the skin.  All of these treatments are extremely expensive and they are not options to be considered lightly.  But then again, many with ice pick scarring obviously consider it to be worth it.  After all, who really wants to have permanent and some would say disfiguring scarring for the rest of their lives?  Certainly not anybody I know right now.
