Punch Out Acne Scarring
If you’re considering acne scar removal now one method is called punch excision or punch grafting. Essentially if you have really deep acne scars a local anesthesia will be applied to the area around the acne scars. Then a biopsy tool will be used to remove the scar tissue without cutting away too much of the surround healthy tissue. In a very crude explanation like cutting out cookie dough. Then the tissue will be stitched back together using internal sutures. If the area is a little larger than sometimes a skin graft is used instead of the stitches.
Don’t freak out when this procedure leaves behind a scar. This new scar forms under more controlled conditions and will fade with time or any topical creams as prescribed by your doctor.
