Cleanse your face from acne marks. How to quickly remove acne marks? Effective home and salon techniques. Types of marks after pimple removal

Acne marks on the face are not a pleasant phenomenon. Red or dark spots are difficult to disguise and attract the eyes of others. Therefore, I propose not to accumulate imperfections, but to remove acne marks right now.

In addressing the issue, I will focus on the following points:

• Why acne scars and spots remain, and how to avoid it
• Pharmacy gels and ointments to help
• Badyaga from traces after acne - methods of application, contraindications
• Other recipes from traditional medicine
• What do I personally use for acne marks?

Why acne spots remain

You probably noticed that the stain does not remain every time and not from every pimple. It depends on the strength of the inflammation and how long the pimple has been healing. It also affects the time of year and the level of tanning on the skin. The individual predisposition of the skin to pigmentation also matters.

Pimple marks are small scars. Purulent pimple initially has a pathogenic microflora. But when squeezing, you bring additional microbes into it. There is also physical tissue damage. All this together is a long inflammatory process.

As a result, a healed pimple leaves a stagnant spot. The place where the tissues were fused turned out to be rougher compared to the surrounding skin. And, after the passage of redness, it is darker, since melanin pigment was intensively produced in the skin during healing.

If the inflammation was very deep, there will also be a hole. The edges did not grow evenly, and a real scar turned out. This problem will be much more difficult to solve. And with age, such a scar will be even more noticeable, as the skin becomes thinner over time.

Understanding the process that causes acne marks, consider how they can be avoided. The ideal option is to get rid of acne by conducting a comprehensive treatment. But this is a question of a separate topic. Now we will discard it and we will proceed from the fact that acne is already there.

So, you need to reduce the likelihood of bacterial contamination of wounds. To do this, do not touch your face during the day. They are dirty.

Do not exfoliate during a rash on the face - this can spread the bacteria from one pimple to all the others.

If you see that the pimple is inflamed and does not heal for a long time, treat it as a serious wound. Heal! Otherwise there will be a scar.

Basic principles for treating acne marks

Scrub once or twice a week (depending on skin type) will help remove dead skin particles, including those that have undergone excessive pigmentation. As a result, skin renewal will occur faster.

If the trace is fresh and red, regenerating agents will do. That is, something that will help the healing and fusion of tissues, since this process is still underway. Emollient and nourishing creams are also needed.

If the acne mark is a little compacted and dark, then the wound has already completely healed. There is a stagnant process on the skin. This trail may go away on its own with time. But, of course, no one wants to wait. Therefore, we use bleaching agents and those that improve circulation in the tissues. Of non-specific drugs, ointments for bruises, burns, scars are also suitable.

If we are dealing with a scar, then moisturizers will help to improve the appearance. But for treatment, special preparations are needed to eliminate scars. It also helps to exfoliate the skin. Due to the “grinding” of the skin level, the pimple hole becomes less deep. So it's less noticeable.

Pharmacy gels and ointments to help

I started writing this section, and found that there are a lot of drugs. I will release the information a little later, in a separate post. I will also give prices for drugs and contraindications. Come back one of these days or subscribe to blog updates)

Badyaga from traces after acne

There is Badyaga Forte gel. This is a ready-made gel that is applied to the affected areas. I will write about it in the section on ready-made pharmaceutical preparations. Now I’ll tell you a little about Badyaga vulgaris. Sold in powder form in pharmacies. Cost from 10 rubles for a 5-gram sachet.

Badyaga is a freshwater sponge from a colony of intestinal animals. This sponge lives only in clean flowing reservoirs with fresh water. It contains carbonates, phosphates and organic matter. The main active ingredient is silica needles. They also cause a local irritant effect when applied to the skin.

In this regard, the main contraindication - do not apply to an open wound and an unhealed pimple. It will hurt, not help. Also remember that this is an allergenic product. Try it on a small area of ​​skin. On the bend of the elbow, possible rashes will not be as critical as on the face. And do not apply to the area around the eyes, as badyagi powder can irritate the mucous membranes.

In general, manufacturers describe the drug as locally irritating, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Badyagu against acne marks is used in the form of masks.

To make a badyagi face mask, dilute one to one pharmacy powder with peroxide or water. Peroxide can lighten age spots. But keep in mind that it is only suitable for oily skin. You can simply burn dry and sensitive skin. So if in doubt, then dilute the badyaga with water. Hold the resulting mass in a water bath for a couple of minutes. It can then be applied to a cleansed face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes until dry. May sting and sting a little. This is fine.

The duration of treatment with badyaga. As a rule, 8-10 procedures every other day are recommended. But if the skin is delicate, then try doing it once or twice a week. Or apply not to the entire face, but pointwise.

The effect of a badyagi mask. Immediately felt burning and tingling. After you wash off the mask, your face may burn a little. Redness can last up to a day and a half. So it's better to start the procedures on the weekend. The skin will still peel off. It is necessary to withstand this moment, and in no case help - that is, do not scrape or pick the scales. The overall effect is that acne marks on the face are not noticeable. But this is on condition that a badyaga approached you and you patiently endured the treatment.

Folk remedies for acne marks

There are several non-medical, folk ways that help remove acne spots.

Very popular clay and rosemary mask. Clay can take any. And white, and green, and blue will cope with the task. They have slightly different mineral composition, but in this case it is not critical. We add a little water to the clay so that it becomes mushy, and add a couple of drops of rosemary essential oil.

The mixture is applied to a clean, damp face with light massage movements. Hold for 10-15 minutes, not allowing the clay to dry, as in this case it will begin to crack and stretch the skin. If the clay begins to dry out, you can sprinkle your face with water from a spray bottle.

After 15 minutes, wash off the clay mask with water. Dry your face gently with a towel. After the procedure, lotions and creams do not need to be applied, do not spoil the effect.

A clay and rosemary mask relieves redness. It will help to remove acne spots in a few procedures. If you have thin, sensitive skin, apply the mask pointwise every other day. And on the whole face - no more than once a week.

Another Clay Mask for Acne Spots. You need to take a tablespoon of clay, add 4 - 5 drops of fresh lemon juice to it. Stir. Then add water to make a mass, in density, like sour cream. Clay will accelerate stagnant processes in the tissues, and lemon will lighten the skin. Apply to problem areas for ten minutes.

There is another mask against acne marks. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to one egg white. Mix thoroughly. Ready. Such a mask will effectively lighten the spots so that they become less noticeable. If you do not want to change the overall tone of the face, then apply it pointwise, only on spots for fifteen minutes. Wash off with warm water.

If you have no time to bother with masks, you can try to remove acne marks using essential oils. Use rosemary oil, you can mix it with tea tree oil. Apply directly to problem areas. If you have very sensitive skin, dilute it with a little base oil.

Perfect for busy girls whitening ice cubes. They are made from a decoction of parsley. To do this, take a small bunch of fresh herbs. It must be boiled for about ten minutes, let it stand for half an hour. Then strain and pour into ice cube trays. Now you need to wipe your face with these ice cubes in the morning and evening. Ice tones, parsley - whitens.

My methods for acne scars

If I have spots from acne, then I definitely use a facial scrub once every two weeks and once every three days I separately treat problem areas with a scrub. I use the scrub of the Octagon Inc Group company - Orange and Arnica. Sold in regular stores.

To enhance regeneration on scars or spots, I apply Metirulacil cream once a day. Sold in a pharmacy.

I also use an emulsion of castor oil "Riciniol". I apply it all over my face before bed. In the morning, the skin is softer and more even, redness disappears. The Argo company sells this tool, according to catalogs. Their representative offices are in almost all cities of Russia.

To whiten spots, I use lemon juice, or lemon juice with clay, in the form of masks.

If you have your own effective recipes for how to remove acne marks, share in the comments.

Hyperpigmentation (post-acne) is expressed in a change in skin color, the appearance of red and brown spots after acne. Usually they are formed in the absence of proper treatment and disinfection of acne at the very beginning of their occurrence, and also due to the neglect of the process. In addition, spots after acne can remain on the skin of the face as a result of their self-squeezing.

The formation of spots on the skin occurs due to increased synthesis of melanin pigment in the process of skin inflammation. The change in skin color after acne is temporary, they disappear over time. However, the intensity of the color of the spot and the timing of its disappearance depend on the depth of penetration of inflammation. Usually after moderate to severe acne, stagnant spots and red spots after acne and blackheads remain. As a rule, they disappear on their own within a year.

To prevent the appearance of scars, scars and spots on the face after acne, you should not start treatment or squeeze them out yourself, and contact a dermatocosmetologist.

For example, when self-squeezing acne or mechanical cleaning of the face, the spots are characterized by damage to the skin, so they usually disappear from several days to several weeks.

Immunity can also be undermined due to an unbalanced diet for a long time. That is why experts urge to pay special attention to this.

Post-acne, or why traces remain after acne
Pimples, blackheads, acne are different names for the same phenomenon: an inflammatory process concentrated around the sebaceous gland of the skin. Pimples and blackheads appear for various reasons: hormonal, immune, metabolic, hygienic, etc. But in any case, the accumulation of sebum and / or external pollution clogs the pores, provokes inflammation, redness of the skin and suppuration under the skin, in some cases - infection. Most people experience these problems during adolescence, during puberty and hormonal changes. As a rule, few people at this age think about the consequences of acne, but it is necessary to worry about them. Otherwise, there will be traces after acne, which is not easy to remove.

Why? The reason lies in the features of the inflammatory process itself and the tissues that it affects:

• Inflammation affects the soft tissues around its focus, the epidermis turns red and we see a rash, as well as a bulging seal.
  
• If the inflammatory stage is not stopped at this stage, an abscess develops, that is, a pustule with pus inside is formed.
  
• The wound at the site of a burst pustule heals in the same way as any skin injury: it becomes covered with a crust.
  
• The new skin under this crust is light pink with a blue tint. These scars indicate an abscess carried by the epidermis and are denser areas than the surrounding skin.
  
• Spots after acne are dark, red or bluish if acne has been squeezed out or treated with aggressive drugs.
  

How to remove spots after acne on the face?
If men are sometimes decorated with scars, then for girls the condition of the skin, especially on the face, is very important. And since acne often appears on the forehead, chin and cheeks, it is especially important to quickly remove spots after acne on the face. It is not worth saving, risking your face, and it is better to seek professional advice and help from a beautician. The doctor will accurately determine the degree of skin damage and prescribe one of the methods of therapy for treating skin after acne:

• Skin exfoliation mechanically, that is, with the help of an abrasive paste - scrub. Helps accelerate the renewal of the upper layers of the epidermis, exfoliating dead cells, including darkened areas. Suitable in cases where the manifestations of post-acne are not bright and not deep.
  
• Chemical cleaning of the face fruit acids opens pores, promotes their cleansing and dissolution of unhealthy cells. The subsequent mask tightens the pores back and evens out the complexion, including removing acne spots.
  
• Median peeling performed with salicylic and / or trichloroacetic acids, which act on the skin more aggressively, but are guaranteed to remove acne spots and even shallow scars.
  

How to remove spots after acne at home?
Despite the progress of modern medicine and the danger of spoiling the skin with homemade therapy, many still prefer to treat acne on their own, and then courageously deal with their consequences. But natural cosmetics act on the skin superficially and gently, which means it does not harm. If you want to take a chance, try these homemade post-acne treatment recipes:
There are many folk recipes that promise to remove acne spots quickly and safely, but some require analysis and especially careful attention. For example, you can find advice to use bodyagu to remove acne marks. On the one hand, bodyagi powder and mixtures based on it really actively act on the skin and cause a noticeable peeling effect. On the other hand, inept handling of bodyaga can easily provoke a chemical burn. Therefore, if you want to try bodyagi, refrain from experimenting on your face - it is better to use it to remove spots after acne on your back.

Pleasant but practically useless recipes are also known. For example, you can find a recommendation to remove spots after acne on the face and body with chocolate. Surely you will enjoy smearing melted chocolate on your skin, but do not expect to remove acne spots quickly this way. In a word, choose a method wisely, whether it is a folk recipe or a progressive cosmetic procedure. Take care of yourself, be healthy and beautiful!

Acne on the face itself spoils the appearance, but this problem is transient. Another thing is traces after acne. They not only give the skin of the face an unaesthetic appearance, but without treatment, they can persist for a long time, or even forever. Cosmetologists unanimously declare that it is easier to treat acne (acne) and prevent the formation of scars and scars on the face than to look for ways to get rid of acne marks later. But if this has already happened, you should not give up, because this problem has a solution, and more than one.

The consequences of acne

The consequences of acne are usually called post-acne. Traces of the inflammatory process on the skin can have a different appearance, in particular:

• enlarged pores;
• areas of increased pigmentation or, conversely, areas of depigmentation;
• dilated capillaries - telangiectasia;
• red spots due to congestion;
• scars - can be normotrophic, hypertrophic and keloid or atrophic.

The severity of post-acne depends on many factors. This is the severity of the manifestations of acne, and the characteristics of the skin, and the nature of the treatment. The long course of the disease depletes the regenerative capabilities of the skin. Self-medication, especially in the case of squeezing acne, can lead to an aggravation of the situation and the spread of the process to nearby tissues. Dermatologist mistakes can also lead to the appearance of marks on the skin, for example, the frequent use of mechanical facial cleansing. Keloid scars can form during treatment with certain drugs, in particular, isotretinoin (a derivative of vitamin A). This drug is used to treat severe manifestations of acne. After the end of the course, it is recommended to abandon the treatment of scars and surgical interventions for a year.

There are cases when minor manifestations of acne lead to noticeable consequences on the skin, up to the formation of deep scars and keloid scars. This may be due to the characteristics of the skin and its low ability to recover. There is a hereditary predisposition to the formation of significant skin defects, a tendency to scar formation has been noted in people with darker skin.

Treatment

Elimination of traces after acne is a rather difficult task, requiring an individual approach in each situation. Health measures should be included in the complex treatment: sanitation of foci of infection, proper nutrition, treatment of diseases of the digestive system and endocrine pathology. With proper skin care, small scars can dissolve on their own.

Treatment of scars can be carried out by methods of dermatology, cosmetology and surgery at a time when new elements of acne no longer appear. It is preferable to carry out the procedures during the period of the year with minimal solar activity in order to avoid skin pigmentation. Medicine offers a large number of methods on how to get rid of acne marks on the face. Each of them has certain advantages. To eliminate scars, the following cosmetic procedures are used:

• Mechanical and hardware cleaning of the face. In the first option, manually and with the help of tools, dead epidermis and excess secretion of the sebaceous glands are removed. The procedure can be painful, during its implementation, strict adherence to antiseptics is necessary. Hardware cleaning is carried out by ultrasound or laser. The procedure helps to improve the texture of the skin and eliminate one of the manifestations of post-acne - enlarged pores.
• Hardware cosmetology is a fairly broad concept, which can include all procedures performed by a cosmetologist using equipment - electro- and phonophoresis, cryomassage, diamond microdermabrasion, mesotherapy and others.
• Peeling can be enzymatic, chemical, physical. This popular technique is one of the answers to the question of how to get rid of acne marks. During the procedure, the surface layers are removed from the epidermis. Peeling according to the depth of exposure can be superficial, medium, deep. Physical peels include skin treatment with ultrasound or laser. Chemical peels use glycolic and fruit acids to remove superficial layers, while trichloroacetic acid has a deeper effect.
• Fractional photothermolysis is an effective modern technique that allows you to influence only the area of ​​the scar or pigmentation. The use of a fractional laser reduces the risk of irreversible thermal tissue damage.
• Microcurrent therapy - exposure to weak current pulses stimulates regenerative processes in the skin, while natural elimination of skin defects after acne occurs.
• A special cosmetic massage normalizes the tone of the sebaceous glands, evens out the texture and improves blood supply to the skin of the face, helping to eliminate defects after acne.
• Masks are the final stage of most cosmetic procedures. The advantage of this method of influencing the skin of patients with acne marks is in the vasoconstrictive, resolving and depigmenting action of the mask components.
• Mesotherapy is the introduction of preparations containing several biologically active components under the skin. There are injection and needleless versions of the procedure. Injections can be carried out with special devices, for example, a dermaroller. With the needleless version, beneficial substances penetrate the skin due to electrical impulses, laser exposure or oxygen pressure. Depending on the technique and drugs administered, the treatment is carried out to eliminate scars, blemishes or other skin problems.
• Redermalization or biorevitalization - is the introduction of hyaluronic acid in a higher concentration than with mesotherapy. Can be used to fill skin defects in atrophic scars.
• Vacuum massage and cryomassage affect only fresh scars.
• Oxygen ozone therapy is the treatment of scars by subcutaneous injection of ozone.
• Contour plastics are carried out by introducing special preparations under the bottom of the scar, which improves the relief of atrophic skin defects.
• Injectable microimplants allow you to correct scars. They can be limited and permanent. The first group includes implants made of collagen or hyaluronic acid, which are subsequently absorbed.

With keloid scars and deep atrophic skin lesions, microsurgical treatment methods can be used. Excision of scars is carried out using a special needle, perforator, microsurgical blade. At the end of the operation, a suture is applied, a skin implant can be used.

With hypotrophic scars, the bottom of the scar is separated, the gap between the bottom and the underlying dermis is overgrown with connective tissue. The second stage of such treatment can be peeling, as well as therapeutic or surgical dermabrasion, which will smooth out the scars “raised” at the first stage.

The fight against pigmentation

Post-acne manifestations in the form of areas with a different skin color may be due to hyper- or depigmentation, the formation of congestive spots or dilated capillaries (telangiectasias). The lack or excess of melanin pigment is associated with a violation of the complex process of melanogenesis due to the local inflammatory process in acne, as well as after various cosmetic procedures in the treatment of acne or its consequences. Hyperpigmentation zones are more often formed in people with darker skin and those with IV, V phototypes.

To prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it is necessary to carry out special preparation of the skin before traumatic cosmetic procedures. Equally important is the proper management of patients during the rehabilitation period after the procedures. Patients should avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, use cosmetics with UV filters. It is better to entrust the choice of cosmetics and perfumes to a cosmetologist - some of their components can cause increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation (photosensitivity). Some drugs, for example, ibuprofen, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, hypothiazide, can lead to the same effect.

If red acne marks are clearly visible on the skin, how to get rid of them is one of the most difficult issues in cosmetology. The following techniques are used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation:

• Tyrosinase inhibitors are used - an enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin. These include ascorbic acid, extracts of licorice, mulberry.
• Nicotinic acid blocks the penetration of melanosomes into keratinocytes.
• Some chemicals have a depigmenting effect, in particular, hydroquinone and its derivatives, kojic, glycolic, azelaic and phytic acids. Hydroquinone inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids in melanocytes, but has significant toxicity. Arbutin is chemically similar to hydroquinone, but is naturally occurring and non-toxic. It is found in large quantities in bearberry.
• The following medicines with a whitening effect have been developed - Albatin, Dermavit, Aloesin. The preparations contain acids and plant extracts, leading to a decrease in melanin synthesis.
• In the treatment of pigmentation and red spots, chemical peels are used, sparing mesotherapy techniques with complexes of vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid, hardware cosmetology methods, in particular, fractional photothermolysis, microcurrent therapy, mechanical dermabrasion.

Traditional medicine offers many effective recipes for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and stagnant spots:

• Mask with lemon juice - 2 teaspoons mixed with whipped protein, applied to areas of pigmentation for 15 minutes. You need to carry out the procedure twice a week.
• Cucumber mask - a vegetable grated or cut into circles helps to get rid of skin defects after acne. The mask is left for 20 minutes and washed with cool water.
• To eliminate red spots, a course of masks based on green clay will be useful. Add rosemary oil to the mass diluted with water - a few drops. The composition is applied to the area of ​​spots and pigmentation for 10 minutes. Applying the mask is repeated every other day, only 5 times. Then it is advisable to do one mask every 2 weeks. You can use another version of the mask - instead of rosemary oil, add lemon juice.
• A good effect can give the use of ice cubes from a decoction of parsley. Boil 50 g of leaves for 5 minutes in 0.5 liters of water. The infused and filtered broth is frozen. Ice cubes are used to wipe the skin. The procedure has brightening, rejuvenating and toning effects.
• Problem areas of the skin can be treated with St. John's wort tincture. To prepare the product, dry flowers and leaves of the plant (2 tablespoons) must be infused in 200 ml of alcohol in a dark place for about 2 weeks. Lubricate traces after acne with the resulting tincture daily.
• Badyagi masks are popular. A limitation to their use is the high allergenicity of the agent. Badyaga is a freshwater sponge, a powder obtained from it is sold in a pharmacy. The agent has a local irritating and anti-inflammatory effect. There are 2 options for diluting the powder - with water or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide has a brightening effect, but it dries the skin a lot. It is worth using a mask with this remedy only in the area of ​​​​pigmentation for several minutes. The mask from the badyagi on the water is left on the face for 15 minutes - until it dries. Procedures are carried out every other day or less, about 10 procedures per course.

Traces after acne is a problem that can be successfully dealt with. The best results can be achieved by seeking the help of an experienced cosmetologist. He will advise those products that are suitable for a particular situation and a certain type of skin. To achieve the best results, it is necessary to follow the skin care routines methodically, and over time, the positive effect will be more and more noticeable.
