Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone knew any Acne Scarring treatment I could get at a dermatologists, or maybe know any cream I could buy?
Thanks in advance, RikooDoes anyone know any good treatment for Acne Scarring? ?
I had quite a bit of scarring which has reduced significantly since I started using Redoxon Vit C with Zinc - I think the zinc bit is the important element, plus if you think your thru it now you could always try microdermabrasion it'll even it all out
Good luck !Does anyone know any good treatment for Acne Scarring? ?
Use Mederma. I use to have REALLY bad acne scars for years, but now they're almost completely gone. It smoothed out the scar tissue and got rid of most of the purple pigment I had. I've been using it for about a month and a half and started seeing results in about two weeks.
To use it, you apply it over the scars 2-4 times a day. According to the company, you should see results as little as a couple weeks to few months depending on how old the scar is. For a large tube of Mederma, it's about $30, for a small one, it's about $15. You can find them at Long's, Target, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, and other pharmacy stores. But keep in mind, you have to keep up with it and you need to take care of your skin too or you'll just develop more scars (Mederma eliminates scars that already exist, it doesn't prevent them). So make sure you wash your face, moisturize it, change your pillowcases, use an ear-piece when you talk on the phone, (basically make less contact with anything and your face)...But yeah, you get the point. Just take care of your skin to prevent the scars and use Mederma to get rid of the current ones. ;)
Hope that helps! Good luck!
vitamin c is supposed to help with that a bit, if it's recent scarring it should reduce quite a bit but i'm afraid that scars will take time to heal up properly and that sometimes they don't heal, but there will be some good treatments, if you go to your local gp or chemist i'm sure they can help you easily, good luck!
Yeah. dermatologists have got loads of good treatments
i think one is called ';Microderm Abrasion';. It more of less means they take the top layer of ur skin off (not gross like u think lol).
Don't know of any creams. I guess if u exfoliate then eventually ur skin will clear up but that could take like years depending how bad scarring u got.
Best bet : Microderm Abrasion. Go to dermatologist. On a Friday, cause ur face will be red and a bit puffy afterwards so u don't want to go to school like that. Might need more than one treatment.

Have any of you ever had laser treatment for acne scars or do you know anything about it???
I'm 23 and I've had body acne on my back since I hit puberty. It's pretty bad and I absolutly hate it!!! I can't wear shirts with open back, unless I cover it with make-up and keep my hair down. Most of the scars are on my lower back. Recently, I've been using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub and it helps a bit, but it won't take away the scars. I also use cocoa butter sometimes on my back, but I know that it won't solve the major scars.
I've been doing some research and I've come to the conclusion that the only way to solve this problem is to get laser treatment for scar removal. I know it's expensive, but I'm gonna have to charge it and make payments for a while. But this is soooooo important to me, that it will be worth it...I hope! This is the onle thing I wish I could change about myself!
So, what do you know about laser scar removal treatments? How well does it work? What is the price range? How often do you think I will have to go? Does it cause any pain? Side effects?Have any of you ever had laser treatment for acne scars or do you know anything about it???
Laser and microdermabrasion can both work well....peels can sometimes help as well. The better choice is dependent on your skin type and the depth of the scarring. Also, be aware that there are two types of laser treatments. One is called resurfacing which takes off the top layer of skin and the 2nd is rejuvenation which causes collagen regrowth. The 1st gives more dramatic results, quickly but has a longer recovery time and costs more.
Costs can range depending on the size of the area that needs treatment. You can probably expect to pay $350 per Tx and you will need 3-6 treatements to really help. Good luck.

What is the best treatment to eliminate acne scars?
scar removal can be by dermabrasion. This is a process where the top layers of the skin are removed with the use of a machine that literally abrades the skin. While dermabrasion does give your skin a smoother appearance, it is not 100% effective for acne scar removal.
Chemical peels are another option for acne scar removal. This works much the same as dermabrasion, but instead of machinery, chemicals are used to remove the top layer of skin. Again, this is not 100% effective for acne scar removal, but it does give the skin a smoother appearance.
Another technique for acne scar removal is collagen injections. Collagen injections are often used to treat wrinkles, scars, and lines. Injections can be expensive, and will need to be repeated on a regular basis. This is another acne scar removal technique that doesn't actually remove the scars. It really just hides them.
A drastic acne scar removal procedure is Autologous Fat Transfer. This is a process where fat is removed from other parts of your body, and injected back into your skin. It doesn't remove scars. Instead, it fills up depressions, such as those that are characteristic of acne scars. Again, this is a drastic acne scar removal method, and the process will need to be repeated as the fat is absorbed into the body.
Another drastic acne scar removal technique is punch grafts. This is a process where small skin grafts are taken and used to replace scarred skin. This acne scar removal technique is usually used to remove deep acne scars.
The newest - and seemingly most effective - acne scar removal technique is Laser Skin Resurfacing. This is a process where the acne scarred skin is gently vaporized, with the use of a laser. Once the damaged skin is vaporized, the new - unscarred - skin underneath is visible. Local anesthesia is given for small areas, but for full face acne scar removal, the person is usually sedated with anesthesia administered through an I.V by an anesthesiologist.

Acne scar removal treatments by dermatologist??
Are there any procedures that can be done for my acne scarred skin. Most of my scars are on my cheeks and it is just really horrible looking. I am so young, I'm only 18 and my skin is ruined with these marks. Can anyone tell me of some treatments that can be done for my skin and how much it will cost and where to get it done. I would even go to a plastic surgeon if there is a way for them to get rid of my scars. I would like whatever they do to be permanent! Please let me know the best thing to have done!Acne scar removal treatments by dermatologist??

Laser skin treatment to fix acne scars and enlarged pores? please help!?
I use to have great skin but during my teenage years, I started to have really really bad acne. Even though now my acne is cleared up and under control. My skin looks horrible, i just want to stay at home. I now have acne scars, enlarged pores, rough skin, ungly uneven skin tone. Is there a laser that can treat my problem? what is it called and will it work? Thanks so much!Laser skin treatment to fix acne scars and enlarged pores? please help!?
I regret, I am not familiar with any laser treatments. However, I believe repetitive microderm abrasion, over time, would improve the quality of your skin. It is a non medical procedure, available at many spas and salons.
I have also heard, of a more radical procedure, a medical procedure, that uses a diamond cutting wheel to resurface your skin.Laser skin treatment to fix acne scars and enlarged pores? please help!?
Hi, I use to have what you have in teenage life too.
I do consult doctor but did not really make it better.
Then i try taking indonesian JAMU which sold in indonesian/ malay shops for healing the skin .
They really cheap %26amp; good. The JAMU (herbs pills) help to control your internal problem. You can also get the powder %26amp; cream from the JAMU SHOPS to help the external.
Ask the uncles selling at Joo Chiat Complex, Singapore.movie theater

Fraxel Laser Treatment for acne scars?
my dermatologist told me that my best option for minimizing the appearance of my acne scars is to have fraxel laser surgery. For 4 treatments, its going to cost me $3,600.
My derm is reputable (I see tv commercial about her clinics) and I've been seeing her for the past 3 years.
Should I be skeptical of this procedure? My research tells me that people has had good and bad experiences with fraxel treatments. What's your thought?Fraxel Laser Treatment for acne scars?
Well,to get rid of acne scars,the best procedure to take is a laser treatment which is what you're planning to take right now.I would say that would be a very cheap treatment since it consists of 4 treatments and you should proceed if you want.Plus,this procedure is much faster and improve your skin complexion without any side effects.However,if you would like to opt for cheaper alternatives you could try these alternatives at home too(:
Baking Soda-Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Often times, a version of baking soda is used in cosmetic microdermabrasion treatments. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water.Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.
Fresh Fruits-In addition to eating fresh fruits to supply your skin with collagen building vitamin C, you can also smear them onto your face for gentle acid exfoliation. Just puree a forth a cup of pineapple and smooth it onto your face. Leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse. Since the pineapple contains ascorbic acid, it will impart a brightening effect on the face, and help fade acne marks.
Apple And Honey-Using a blender, make a mixture out of 1 peeled apple with 1 tablespoon of yogurt, half a cucumber and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply on face, leave for 20 minutes and wash off with warm water.
Olive Oil-Massage a pea-sized amount of olive oil onto your face.Acne scaring can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness.The moisturizing nutrients in the olive oil will penetrate the skin to deeply moisturize the skin and soften the skin鈥檚 texture.
Well,these are those 4 remedies that works best for your skin that impose no irritation to your skin.Good luck trying these at home and pick one that suits you.Hope this helps and great skin wishes.
