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.

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.
hey, there麓s a very good creme for, its name is ';BB ACNE'; cheers
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.

Herbal Treatment For Acne


Acne Remedies
aromatherapy rose oil is very good, you need just a few drops mixed with a carrier oil like almond oil or just plain baby oil but don't use it neat. It is expensive but is worth it.
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 :)
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.

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.
TRy using zinc tabs and drink lots of water
