Acne Scarring And How To Treat It The discolouration and bumps left behind after bad acne can be a long-lasting problem for patients. We asked skin professionals about their most effective treatments to combat acne scars. Dr Irene Prantalos, Acupuncturist, Founder Salubre: Acne scarring is one of the most common effects an acne sufferer will experience. The good news is the skin can and does rejuvenate and so the depth in which the acne scarring affects the skin can be lessened. As a Chinese Medicine practitioner I believe acupuncture is the best form of rejuvenating scarred tissue and this is common practice for acne scarring and post operative scars such as C-sections, heart surgery, knee reconstructions and the like. When discussing topical aids in skincare our approach is varied in that we need a nice blend of gentle exfoliating actives such as: White Willow Bark (BHA) and clays (bentonite and green clay) to purify the skin and help to reduce the appearance of acne scars as well as botanical extracts Aloe Vera, Angelica, Astragalus, and Rhodiola, which increase circulation in the skin and encourage the skin’s natural ability to rejuvenate through high cellular turnover. 54 | SPA+CLINIC
