Acne, the most common form of pimples on the face, neck, back etc, occurs in adolescence and continues for some time into adulthood. This affects the complexion of skin and face and could be painful too. But there is no need to worry as there are many ways of getting rid of acne. One of them is the acne removal surgery. There are many types of acne removal surgery.  The best option is always what the doctor suggests.

A very common acne removal surgery called Dermabrasion, involves a cosmetic procedure, where the stratum corneum or the surface of the skin is removed by sanding. Since this is a type of abrasion, the instrument is called dermabrader. This procedure causes some pain and the skin turns red and might take a few months before it grows where it was removed. The new skin is healthier and smoother.

Another acne removal surgery which is derived from dermabrasion is the microdermabrasion, an exfoliation technique where minute particles of aluminum oxide or even diamond dust are blasted onto the skin and the resulting dead cells are also sucked in by a handheld device that massages the skin as well. This acne removal surgery is like sand papering a thin layer of the skin and is usually a simple and mild treatment. Local anesthesia is given and the skin should be dressed for a few days to protect the affected area.

The advantages of the above methods include the skin complexion growing lighter. One can also get rid of stretch marks. The oxygenation of the skin improves and even fine wrinkles are smoothed out. The procedure usually lasts about half an hour.

Chemical peel is another acne removal surgery where the skin is removed by applying chemical solution. Alpha hydroxyl acids and other fruit acids like citric, lactic, malic, tartaric and glycolic acids are usually used for chemical peels. These peel off the dead skin cells, and also cure uneven pigmentation of the skin.

Acne removal surgery is sometimes slightly expensive but helps in regenerating new skin of better texture.

There are various types of acne removal surgery. Of these the ones that are least painful and use highly enhanced scientific methods are slightly more expensive, but well worth it. Laser surgery is a good example. Laser acne removal surgery is a very good method of resurfacing. It is very accurate and usually doesn’t affect the surrounding area and gives the cosmetic surgeon an easy way of treating which normal scalpels or tools cannot provide.

In laser surgery, the laser beam melts the skin, and in the process removes wrinkles, pigmented and acne affected areas. Laser acne removal surgery encourages the formation of collagen, absence of which causes wrinkles. Laser surgery doesn’t cause bleeding either. The laser beam holds the surrounding tissue tightly together and stops bleeding if it happens.

Laser acne removal surgery should be followed by at least ten days of proper care and treatment. The dressings should be frequently changed. Skin lubricants should be applied and proper skin cleansing should be done too. Laser surgery drastically changes the complexion of the skin too. It is a very good option for those planning to undergo acne removal surgery.

Intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation is another procedure of acne removal surgery which works in the same principles as the laser. Using a device that the surgeon holds light beams are fired on to the skin. The skin which is more pigmented, usually the acne affected area reflects less and absorbs more than the lighter skin. Because of absorption the skin gets heated up and is cooked. This procedure of acne removal surgery often is preferred because it doesn’t affect the patient much at all. It also gives the surgeon the flexibility to change the wavelength of the beam and as a result the heat generated, depending on the skin texture and seriousness of the acne in the patient.

Like laser, Intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation acne removal surgery also encourages collagen production, lightens the moles, tightens the pores on the skin and removes red veins or spider veins. These two procedures are more popular because of accuracy, flexibility and less pain.
