At some point you had acne, now you are left with embarrassing, ugly scars. There are ways to diminish and reduce the appearance of the acne scars. The severity of the scars will determine what you will need to do to diminish them. I would recommend seeking advice from a dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to determine the best course of action.

For very mild scarring you can try a few at home procedures and products to help reduce the appearance of the scars. At home dermabrasion and chemical peels can help diminish some scarring especially if you also use retinol or alpha hydroxyl acid lotions or creams. For sensitive skin you may not want to apply retinol or alpha hydroxyl products right after dermabrasion or peels because it can cause redness and irritation. Other products you can try are scar reducing creams like Mederma or Rosehip seed oil which is said to be great at reducing scar tissue. Aloe Vera juice and gels and lavender oils are also said to work well on reducing scars.
Professional treatments for scarring include Laser Resurfacing which involves the use of a laser to remove skin so new skin can form in its place. Laser resurfacing can cause uneven skin tones in people with darker skin. It is still being studied but shows a lot of promise. After treatment you may experience redness and swelling which may last for several weeks.

Dermabrasion has been around for decades. Originally sandpaper was used to remove damaged skin. Now a machine rotates to remove the damaged skin, the skin is numbed or frozen first. After the procedure your skin is raw and scabs will form. After the scabs heal your skin will be reddish for several weeks.

Augmentation is a procedure where material like collagen or your own fat will be injected under the scar to bring it to the surface. The treatments last for about six months but they are working on more permanent solutions.

Subcision is a technique that detaches the scar from deeper tissue and allows a pool of blood to form under the scar. The blood clots and helps form connective tissue under the scar to level it with the rest of the skin surface. Subcision is usually combined with either dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.

The depth and shape of your scars will determine what treatment your doctor will recommend.

Good luck!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Hi !
I had a few acne scars which have now completely gone 6 months later.
I used two products, the first one is called " the derma sponge" which is basically a microdermadrasion sponge which you use to buff your face or any other part of your body.The sponge has a very fine layer of pharmaceutical grade crystals which gently takes off a layer off skin. After about 6 or 7 sessions, the scar is pretty much gone.
The second product I used is called "Elicina" which is a topical cream (dont laugh) made from snails. If you look up Elicina on the net you will be able to read the testimonials and where you can buy it from. I was sceptical at first, but don't take my word for it.
Hope this helps you out, and don't let it get you down :)

I've had scars like that too I have been using cocoa butter. Just put it on the scars in the morning and at night it will help them blend into your skin and even it out more plus it moisturizes your skin. The doctor just meant that the scars won't go away on their own. Also to help keep acne from coming back use Acne Free its like Proactiv but it has time released benzoyl peroxide so when bacteria starts to build up it attacks it. The box has more info on it. You can get it in Wal Mart or where you get facial stuff its not costly.

Vitamin E cream does a great job of minimizing scars. Just apply it daily. Scars often fade with time, but for a quick fix, Vitamin E is definitely a good product. There are also creams out there specially marketed for scar reduction.

Answer 7

hey dont worry about the doctor my big sister had that problem and well she suffers with acne no more and well her face had the most damage. She used seven seas Cod liver oil tablets and it helped the skin. and if that doesn't work use Coca butter. Use Coca butter for a few days for about a week or two and it will go away. You have to go in a pharmacy to buy Coca butter not in the grocery just a reminder.

Nelly.

Cocoa butter and Vitamin E oil should help over time. Also limit how much sun those areas are exposed to. This may help them fade.

Also when you shower/bathe, avoid using an exofilant that is too strong. Reason being because the area may be being scrubbed too hard and just needs to repair themsleves gently.
