Can acid peeling remove acne scars?

Many people are prone to acne and spots on their faces, and their skin tone is dull and looks old. For people who often get acne, acne removal should be the most concerned issue. There are so many acne removal methods and products nowadays. Some are very effective, while others have no effect, and the acne marks on the face will become more and more obvious. Acid peeling is a method recommended by many people to remove acne. So is it really useful? Can it remove acne marks?

First of all, what is acid brushing?

Acid peeling refers to the use of acid ingredients in skin care products to exfoliate the stratum corneum and promote metabolism. Acid peeling can promote the shedding of abnormal cells and clear clogged hair follicles. It is very effective for blackheads and acne, and can also reduce oil production. At the same time, it removes the melanin on the surface during the exfoliation process, which can have a whitening effect. Acid peels are mainly used in cosmetic surgery, but can also be done at home if the acid concentration is lowered.

The frequency of acid peeling is determined by your own skin's tolerance, and there is no standard answer. The biggest difference between an individual's operation and a doctor's operation is the concentration of the acid. The higher the concentration, the greater the risk (disfigurement), and of course the "benefit" is also relatively greater.

Why do some people become "disfigured" after acid peeling?

Some babies not only have red faces after acid brushing, but also have acne breakouts and severe skin peeling.

First of all, acid treatment may not be for you.

A. People with sensitive skin should not mess around with "acid peeling", otherwise they will really feel "life is hopeless"! People with low psychological tolerance are not recommended to use acid peeling. During the acid peeling process, many people will experience skin flaking, acne, stinging, peeling and other adverse phenomena. When you are anxious or angry, your hands and feet will easily panic, making the situation worse!

B. Acid peeling can also cause problems for dry skin. The stratum corneum of dry skin is unhealthy. The stratum corneum is generally thin. Acid is somewhat irritating and will peel off the stratum corneum. It is better to use less acid products for dry skin.

C. Acne is inflamed: Many people are curious about why. Most people think that acids are only used for people with acne. In fact, acids neutralize the pH value of the skin and forcibly exfoliate the dead skin. The stratum corneum of the red and swollen part of the acne becomes thinner. The use of acids may aggravate inflammation. It only plays a preventive role and you cannot rely on acids.

Secondly, you may have used exfoliating products after acid scrubbing, which damaged your stratum corneum, causing skin barrier problems and severe redness of your face.

Finally, since the stratum corneum becomes thinner after acid peeling, failure to do enough sun protection may also cause other skin problems.
