Spot Scarring?

Question

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a product which clears spot scarring? I have scars left from spots on my chin and temple area. The only way I can clear them, but not fully, is to use concealer, but would like them to disappear completely.

Thank you.

Answer 1

How charming! Why bother replying if you're not going to say anything helpful?

I tend to scar really easily and it takes ages for any to go whether they're from spots, cuts or grazes.

For your face I would recommend a gentle exfoliant.... I have just discovered Dermalogicas Gentle Cream Exfoliant... It's much nicer to use than any scrub I have come across. You apply it to a cleansed face in a thin layer. Leave it for 10 minutes and then wash it off.... All the dead skin is gone.

This skin renewal process of removing the dead skins cells tries to aid the healing process.

You can also use moisturises to help fade the pigmentation from scars... I have been using Ulay. Over in the far East unlike here in the UK they have products which help to whiten the skin.... Ulay here has incorporated some aspects of this into the Anti ageing range.... Try First Effects or Total effects (with anti blemish care).

You could also try Fade Away as well.... this cream helps to remove the pigmentation of scars and freckles etc... I tried it but didn't really like the feel of the cream as a moisturiser so have gone back to the possibly slower but better for my personal skin care routine of using Ulay. I dis use the rest of Fade Away on the scar from graze on my leg though and that worked well...

Also with time scars disappear, but it's always nice to help speed up the process a little.

Answer 2

I use a home use glycolic peel. If you want dramatic results go to a aesthetician or a dermatologist for one. The one you get from a dermatologist it is fairly deep and take a few days recovery time, but is well worth it. In the mean time you can use Vitamin E to help out and Maderma is a little pricey ( about $25.00) but it works well, but the best results are in a peel because it resurfaces you skin completely.
If you do pick ( we are all guilty of it ) try to use a cotton swab ( not as fun but much more sterile) and dont try to push too much. After you done clean the area and use a bit of neosporin.

FYI: if you use a home peel follow the instructions.

Answer 3

There are a few solutions available to you nowadays.Vitamin e oil is excellent for the skin and scar tissue,a product i use myself is called bio oil(available in most chemists), again this fade scars and is excellent for general skincare.Failing this see a dermatologist who may reccomend microdermabrasion, which gently removes the top layer of dead skin and is great for acne scars etc.good luck

Answer 4

I have a similar problem and have been recommended to have a microdermabrasion treatment by a number of different people.

I think it is a gentler form of a chemical peel, i have done a little research into it and think it is important to find a good therapist maybe by getting recommendations from previous clients. Good luck.

Answer 5

What I use on my scars is Bio Oil or vitamin E oils. They seem to work the best for removing scars

(ooo nasty answer purple). If they're really bad see your GP who can refer you to a dermatologist, there's a lot they can do for scarring. If they're not too bad just a nuisance, see a good beautician.
