How to remove acne scars naturally in a week?

It can be hard to get rid of acne scars completely in just one week, especially if you use natural methods. But with regular care, you can make them less noticeable and improve the texture and tone of your skin. Here are some natural ways and tips to reduce acne scars naturally in a week.

Day 1: Gentle cleansing + hot green tea compress

Day 4: Microneedling to activate the skin's self-healing ability

Microneedling is a natural acne scars treatment to create microchannels on the skin through tiny needles to activate the skin's self-healing mechanism.

Why is Derma Pen more popular for acne scars removal?

Although there are many microneedling roller products on the market, in comparison, Derma Pen (especially Diaminy Derma Pen) is the best acne scar removal products because of the following advantages in actual use:

Working mechanism of Derma Pen to remove acne marks

1. Microneedle puncture, activation of repair mechanism

Derma Pen uses a tiny group of needles to vertically penetrate the surface of the skin, creating hundreds of extremely tiny microchannels that are almost invisible to the naked eye. These micro wounds do not cause real trauma, but can quickly activate the skin's natural repair mechanism.

This repair mechanism includes the following three stages:

• Inflammation phase (0~48 hours): The skin releases growth factors after recognizing micro-wounds and starts the regeneration process.
• Proliferation phase (2~5 days): The dermis begins to proliferate fibroblasts, synthesize a large amount of collagen and elastin, and fill the original depressions and scars.
• Reconstruction phase (more than 5 days): The newly generated tissues are gradually arranged in order, making the skin smooth, the pigmentation is reduced, and the acne marks become lighter or even disappear.

2. Promote the penetration of effective ingredients and double the repair effect

The effective ingredients of traditional skin care products, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and centella asiatica, can only act on the epidermis and are difficult to penetrate the keratin barrier into the dermis. After using Derma Pen, the microchannels on the surface of the skin can greatly increase the penetration rate of these ingredients in a short time, helping them reach the target level directly, and achieve deeper repair and whitening.

For example:

Hyaluronic acid: hydrating, repairing skin barrier;

Vitamin C: inhibiting melanin production, brightening skin tone;

Centella asiatica extract: promoting tissue healing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant;

B5 essence: enhancing cell regeneration, relieving stimulation after microneedling.

3. Gentler and more precise than traditional derma rollers

Compared with traditional derma rollers, the advantage of Derma Pen is that its vertical puncture method can greatly reduce the damage to the skin. And its adjustable depth (usually ranging from 0.25mm to 2.5mm) and different speed settings allow users to make personalized adjustments according to the severity of acne scars and skin type, with better safety and effect.

4. Adjustment of diet and lifestyle habits

In addition to external care, internal conditioning is also critical:

Drink 1500~2000ml of water every day to help metabolize toxins;

Intake more vitamins C, E, and collagen: oranges, tomatoes, white fungus, nuts;

Eat less spicy, fried, and high-sugar foods to avoid causing new acne;

Adhere to sun protection, and apply sunscreen above SPF30 even on cloudy days.

5. Sharing of real cases

Case 1: 23-year-old student Emily, with many red marks on her face

Use green tea hot compress + aloe vera + microneedle + coix seed water + Derma Pen with B5 repair essence. After 7 days of persistence, the acne marks faded by about 60%, and the skin brightness was significantly improved.

Case 2: 30-year-old white-collar Stella, with mild sunken scars

Tried Diaminy Derma Pen for the first time, with repair essence and natural skin care, used once a week, and persisted for a month. The sunken area became lighter and the skin became smoother.
