Do you are looking for African Americans acne scar treatments?

To evaluate the efficacy of medium-depth peels in the treatment of acne scars 15 dark-skinned individuals (14 women and 1 man) were seen between November 1998 and March 2000.

Patients in this study had two forms of acne scars, the atrophic saucer or crater-like form and the pitted (ice-pick) form.

 A medium-depth chemical peel was performed using a combination of Jessner's solution followed by the application of 35% trichloroacetic acid (TCA).

A total of 42 peeling sessions were performed: 13 patients had the full three-session regiment, 1 patient had two sessions, and 1 had only one session.

Improvement occurred in all except one of our patients. Significant improvement (greater than 75% clearance of lesions) occurred in 1 patient (6.6%), moderate improvement (51-75% clearance) in 8 patients (53.3%), mild improvement (26-50% clearance) in 4 patients (26.6%), minimal improvement (1-25% clearance) in 1 patient (6.6%), and no response in 1 patient (6.6%).

Nine patients (73.4%) suffered from transient postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

All patients were free of noticeable pigmentation 3 months after the final peel. Patients in whom hyperpigmentation did not develop were of light brown complexion.

The conclusion is that medium-depth chemical peel is a safe and effective  African Americans acne scar treatment.

African-Americans often have a predisposition to acne keloid formation.

If you have severe scars, you can try a new technique involving injecting a solution of steroids into the scar. The steroid solution will not remove this type of scar formation but it can help to reduce its profile; steroid injections must be administered cautiously to avoid overtreatment, which may result in skin atrophy and a depressed scar.

The application of mechanical pressure by compression devices is advocated in the treatment of keloids. Pressure may break up collagen and soften the keloid mass.

Pressure would be made of some sort of stretchy material such as Lycra or Tubigrip. This pressure should be applied day and night for many months or even years for to break up collagen bundles and soften the keloid mass. Silicone sheeting is used to decrease the irritation and pruritus associated with keloids and to speed maturation of the scar.

Silicone Sheet maintain the scar hydration and decrease cytokine release, resulting in less collagen deposition. Certain authors report great success in keloid regression with this modality.
