The scars caused by acne can cause psychological distress and affect the quality of life: let's see how to prevent and treat them thanks to hyaluronic acid .
Acne signs, how to intervene
Acne is a very common skin disease: it affects both men and women, it can appear at any age (although it is more common during adolescence and during a woman's fertile age) and can affect the face, the chest, back.
The diagnosis of acne must be made by the dermatologist who will prescribe the most appropriate treatments based on the patient's age and the severity of the acne. Generally antibiotics or isotretinoin-based medications are prescribed for acne treatment, to be taken orally or topically depending on the case. In addition to acne therapy, your doctor may recommend supportive treatments to prevent the appearance of scars or to improve the appearance of existing scars. Acne in fact very often causes unsightly "crater" scars that can be disfiguring in the most serious cases.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the natural ingredients that can be used to prevent and treat scars caused by acne .
Hyaluronic acid: what it is and how it is used against scars
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in the connective tissue of our body that is used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
The use of hyaluronic acid in cosmetic creams is due to the moisturizing properties of this ingredient: hyaluronic acid is therefore widely used in anti-wrinkle cosmetics dedicated to mature skin or in moisturizing creams formulated for dry and chapped skin. In the pharmaceutical field, hyaluronic acid is instead used for the preparation of products for topical use with a healing and regenerating action on the tissues, to speed up the healing of the skin in case of wounds, preventing the formation of dark spots and scars.
Acne sufferers can therefore use creams based on hyaluronic acid to promote the healing of lesions and prevent the appearance of scars.
On the already formed acne scars, the use of injections based on hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of the skin may instead be useful.
Hyaluronic acid is a safe product, well tolerated by the skin and does not present particular contraindications but, as already mentioned, to choose the most suitable product or treatment it is necessary to consult the dermatologist and avoid relying on DIY.
