What's the best way to get rid of acne scars?

And other scars like the ones caused by small accidents, on legs or arms making them ugly. Help? :(What's the best way to get rid of acne scars?
Aquaphor is wonderful at helping get rid of acne scars. I've tried it before, and it really does work. It mositurizes the skin, and encourages healing, so just keep reapplying and the scar will fade.





however, Aquaphor can lead some people to break out, so if you are very acne-prone, I have another suggestion.





Using lemon juice can also help fade scars. Lemon juice can be strong if your skin is not used to it (because it is so acidic) so try diluting it. just squirt a few drops of lemon juice on a wet cotton ball, and rub the cotton ball over the specific area.


Bonus: lemon juice also helps clear your pores, so you could just rub the cotton ball over your whole face (and body) while your at it. Lemon juice helps prevent zits.





Hope this helps! Good luck with your zits.What's the best way to get rid of acne scars?
I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





Well good luck and best wishes.
For acne scars I hear that microderm abraison work best. Vitamin e and/or cocoa butter does a good job on other scars.

What are some good ways to get rid of acne scars and how long does it take?

noesporin is prolly the cheapest way. so try it, if it doesnt work, go to the dermatologistWhat are some good ways to get rid of acne scars and how long does it take?
i believe there is a treatment called dermabrasion which uses small particles to remove the top layer of skin and promote new cell growth. You need to have a number of treatments tough and i think it is fairly expenisve.





Try googling it and see what you get.

What can i use to help rid of acne scars?

You will need to see a dermatologist for laser treatment. If you are limited money-wise I would wait until you鈥檙e 20 years old before undergoing the procedure. Most acne clears up in your 20鈥檚.

How to Get Rid of Scars





Go see a dermatologist if you want to get rid of scars. It should be obvious that dermatologists have access to newer and stronger medications as well as the ability to refer you to a surgeon should you opt for surgical scar removal. Though, most doctors who see that a patient is concerned about the appearance of a scar will point them towards over-the-counter scar treatments.





Silicone based scar sheets manufactured by companies like Neosporin can get rid of scars, to a point.





Scar sheets need to be used for at least 8 weeks, wearing each sheet for at least 12 hours a day, changing the sheet every 3-4 days. If your scar doesn鈥檛 clear up after 8-10 weeks of use, chances are it鈥檚 not going to go away any time soon. Scars take time to heal, time for the old skin to slough away and new skin to replace it.





Neosporin Oinment does not get rid of scars as some websites have suggested. According to a Neosporin representative,





Neosporin uses Bacitracin Zinc, Neomycin Sulfate, and Polymyxin B Sulfate and antibiotics help to reduce infection, which in turn helps to reduce scarring. It does not get rid of scars that have already healed. They simply reduce the chances of infections that could lead to a more pronounced scar.





Mederma gel,which uses a scentless onion extract, can help get rid of scars. Usually Mederma is used to treat acne scars,





which is why the company has focused its marketing campaign on youth. But, over a period of time鈥攗sually several months鈥攕cars that are massaged with Mederma scar treatment gel will begin to fade. And thank god for that, because high school is excruciating enough without being taunted by other kids.





Alpha hydroxy skin treatment can help get rid of scars.





Alpha Hydrox, just one of the many commercial brand names for alpha hydroxy acid, is primarily used as a facial skin care product, but because alpha hydroxy acid exfoliates any type of skin, it can be used to treat scars elsewhere. Remember though, that because scars are made up of fibroblasts, a very strong and fibrous dermal layer, exfoliating creams will take time to remove scar tissue





Lemon juice, as the hens in the hen house will tell you, is a natural bleach and will help you get rid of a scar. Though the application of lemon juice to a scar does have some effect, it is not because it bleaches your skin. If that were true, we鈥檇 all be drinking whiskey straight from the bottle, biting down on pieces of leather, and pouring Clorox on our wounds. Lemon juice is an acid, and like all acids, it exfoliates the skin. It is also good for tenderizing meat, which is why it helps to moisten and remove the tough fibroblasts that scar tissue is made of.





The Aloe Plant. There aren鈥檛 enough words in the English language to express just how wonderful the Aloe plant is. The thing is, Aloe (either in a cream or the raw juice) needs to be applied while the wound is still new or healing. Aloe is a great scar treatment if it is applied in a timely and regular manner. Using Aloe as a scar removal treatment, that is after the scar has healed, is not an effective way to get rid of scars.











Scar Removal





Sure scars take time to heal, but that doesn鈥檛 mean all hope is lost; there are other forms of scar removal, including dermabrasion, laser surgery, and chemical peels. Dermabrasion, as explained by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, works by essentially scraping away very fine layers of the skin where scarring has occurred. Over several months, the dermal layer rises in place of the skin removed and skin pigment returns to normal. Laser surgery to remove scars works much the same way, but in a different manner. By applying a high intensity beam of light to the skin鈥檚 surface, rather than a blade, layers of scar tissue are removed, allowing new skin to come to the surface and skin pigment to return as well. Chemical peels, just like the dermabrasion and the laser surgery, act by removing the upper layers of skin, removing scar tissue and allowing newer skin to take its place.





As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. According to the ASPS, even if these procedures are done correctly by a licensed physician, the appearance of the skin where the scar was may not improve. In some cases the area where the scar was removed can actually become darker than the skin around it, or the pores in the skin (especially around the face) can get clogged and require further surgery, or you may even experience a very painful infection. So, before you choose to have scars removed surgically, it鈥檚 a good idea to talk to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon to weigh your options.Whats the best to use to get rid of scars?
I agree with the first response Miderma is your best bet. Other remedies of VIt E etc, take a lot longer and don't always work. It may be a little expensive but it is worth it. A friend of mine used it on her facial scar and it worked great. You can barely tell she had one at all. Good Luck!
ICE CUBES..i sware it works





so you get an ice cube and rub it on ur acne scar for tin minutes. for best results dont put the cube in a plastic bag. just hold it with ur hand. it may be a little messy. DONT wipe the water off your face. it it absorb


after you rub it. you may notice that ur face is red. but it fade..check on it after an hourish? and u'll notice results.





hope it works for you :)
scars are for life. They may fade over time, but that is it.
miderma...I used it for my daughters scar on her forehead..it's like $16.00 though.

    Whats the best Retin-A cream to help acne and acne scars?

    Whats the best perscribed Retin-A and the best non-perscription Retin-A? I've been using Retin-A Micro and it helps a little but I wanted to find something that I can get without a perscription thats just as strong or stronger. I also heard about Green Cream, has anyone tried this? Its pretty expensive but it is a strong Retin-A cream.Whats the best Retin-A cream to help acne and acne scars?
    You won't find anything stronger than the original Retin-A


    prescription medicine. It does, however, come in 2 or 3 different strengths. Now that the patent has expired, generic Retin-A is available at a much lower cost than the original.


    Other than that, there are creams with retinol (related, but not the same). A decent OTC cream with this ingredient is Alpha-Hydrox.Whats the best Retin-A cream to help acne and acne scars?

    something that i have used thatt has worked really good is neosporin all u have to do is cleanse your face with warm water then wipe dry with a clean towel and then wipe clean with alcohol pad and dry your face and then jus apply the neosporin to the affected areas or jus your whole face this is better than most acne medicines because they make your face worse first then it gets better and sometimes dont even work

  • Any suggestions on how to get rid of chikenpox scars on the face?

    Personally, ive read alot on scars as i have quite a few left over too. What ive heard to do is apply acv(apple cider vinegar, u can buy it at ur grocery store for under 2 bucks) and mix it half and half with warm water. Then dab the diluted acv with a cotton ball and apply it on your scar. Also i have heard that drinking it is great too but it might taste a bit sour :P . Also another great thing to do is go make an appointment with your dermatologist and get her/him to prescribe u a tropical gel called ';retin a micro';. As ive heard and read, u need to apply just a lil' dab on the scar for about twice a day, preferably morning and night. However the downfall to using retin-a micro is that it will peel your skin - but thats how it works. Using retin-a micro will make ur scars get better before it gets worst. tho retin a micro wont work over night, i am more then certain u will achieve decent results from using it atleast about 2-3 weeks. It takes a bit of time, but im positive that if you use this tropical and dab some acv dilutd with water, those maarks will fade in time. gd luck :)

    it depends on the cause of the scars. is it due to acne or acne scars? if it is it might fade away but it will take a long time. if you wanted faster results, you can have peeling or you can try the microdermabrasion. it all depends on your dermatologist. if it is not from acne, a topical retinoid can be applied. consult your dermatologist.I have small scars on my face and I was just wondering if microdermabrasion will help to clear them up?
    There are scar cream. You'll need a doctor or a dermitologist to prescribe it for you. It does help get rid of the scar after some time. (a few months)

    I have acne scars but i didnt pick my acne at all?

    i found an article that said ';First, some good news about the healing process. As an acne blemish heals, the inflamed area flattens, leaving behind a reddish spot. Though it may look like an acne scar, it鈥檚 actually a macule 鈥?the final stage of an acne lesion. Macules may last for up to six months, but leave no permanent acne scar.';





    soooo is this true? and how can i get rid of them?I have acne scars but i didnt pick my acne at all?
    I used Retin-A Micro to treat my acne, and was surprised because it made all my acne scars and spots fade/disappear! I don't have to wear make-up anymore to cover them.. maybe you should try it? It works by speeding up cell turnover, which quickens the healing process of scars. It also makes your skin very soft and healthy.

    It's hard to get rid of scars once they are all healed up.





    It is far better to avoid the formation of scar tissue, which is caused by tough layers of skin buildup around the edges of a cut or wound. Many layers of skin that would normally be sloughed off are surrounded and included into the new skin growth, making it tough and prone to splitting.





    You can minimize scarring by carefully removing the heavy, thick edges of the skin around the wound, NOT making it bleed, but carefully removing, debriding or peeling back and removing the thick, hard skin and sharp edges around the healing wound, which naturally is trying to smooth the whole surface out.


    You may have to do it several times, depending upon the severity and depth of the cut.


    By the way, let pain be your guide. Do not overdo it. If you happen to make it bleed, you went too far. You want to remove the DEAD skin, not open the wound.
    Coca butter.
    I doubt youll want to get laser sergury or chemical peels done, so I would suggest a bleaching cream. You can find them at local drug stores, walmart, ect. Just look around for whichever brand seems the most legit.

  • What's the best homemade solution for pores and small acne scars?

    FRESH LEMONS: Apply the juice with a Qtip. Lemon juice lightens the scars and blemishes.





    TOMATO SLICES: Place some over your face. Sebum causes acne and tomatoes are rich in Vitamin A which stops production of sebum. These slices will renew scarred and damaged skin.





    ICE CUBES: Rub an ice pack on the affected area. This will soothe the irritated skin and shrink the size of pores.





    EGG WHITES: With a Qtip, dab some egg whites on the acne scars. Leave this on overnight to prevent acne and treat acne scars.





    CUCUMBER: Use the juice or rub cucumber slices on your face. This refreshes the skin, soothes inflammation, and heals scars.





    LAVENDER OIL: This is an acne-fighting essential oil. Apply it on the scars twice a day.

    Plastic Surgery and scars. What would the end result be?

    I have a scar on my forearm and my GP referred me to a Plastic Surgeon to have it removed.


    He said that they would cut away the current scar tissue and then stitch it back up.


    He said that instead of my large, wide and raised scar the scar would just be a thin line.





    Is this true? I was under the impression that stitches left relatively large scars.Plastic Surgery and scars. What would the end result be?
    Your plastic surgeon is right. There are so many different types of stitches that if its plastic surgery then the stitches will look not much different at first but after 6 months it will just be a thin line slightly paler than your normal skin colour. The only time this will ever really be noticed is if you get a tan but that can be sorted out by fake tan.

    There is also expensive surgery but in a surgery room anyhtign can go wrong. And if you can, and if u want to, u can hide the scars under clothing if they are on ur body or something.
    You really need to see your GP. Sandfly can carry a parasite called leishmania which is becoming more common in travellers to some parts of Africa, India, Asia, South America and the Middle East. The cutaneous (skin) form is the most common presentation. Leishmaniasis in fact used to be called oriental sore because of the scarring and ulceration of the skin. Most lesions will heal spontaneously, but can take many months to heal, sometimes leaving scarring. There is some evidence that paromomycin ointment is very effective. However, discuss this with your GP, as a skin biopsy from the lesions will be needed to see if you are infected. It is highly likely you are simply suffering from a reaction to sandfly bites which will heal in time, but it is important to find out if it it is something requiring specialist treatment, especially as you have visited an affected area recently.
    NOTHING works like Cocoa Butter, every night lather on a thin layer of cocoa butter cream (as pure as you can get it) and wash it off in the morning, you will be astonished at the results, they erased deep chicken pox scars from my face, just make sure you do not use it in the daytime or you will get uneveness.

  • Hi. Does anyone know any good product for getting rid of acne scars (and scars generally) on black skin?

    To reduce or remove shallow and pitted acne scars the best at home treatment would be to exfoliate using glycolic acid or 1-2% salicylic acid to slowly remove damaged scar tissues. After exfoliation, you apply either topical ascorbic acid or topical copper peptide to allow the rebuilding of new collagen and healthy skin cells. As you can see it is a 2 step process and the process should be repeated for several months. Topical ascorbic acid and copper peptide also helps reduce


    the darker scar coloration and redness imparted by acne scars.Hi. Does anyone know any good product for getting rid of acne scars (and scars generally) on black skin?
    Get some vitamin E tablets and pop them open with a safety pin or something like that and put the oil directly on the scar and you will see fading in no time! I tried it and it works...I had the same problem for years!

    During the summer i get bitten by fleas what can i use to prevent the scars?

    The best thing to preven scars would to not scratch the bite. You could use a band aid to remind you not to scratch and make it harder to get to.


    The very best thing is to eliminate the fleas. We used a powder that we got from the vet and then got all our animals on once a month flea treatment like Frontline.


    Can you imagine how annoying it is for the animals to have little bugs crawling on them 24/7?

    I'm using proactiv and it works really well and to get rid of the scars you could try mederma?How do I get rid of pimples and their nasty scars that they leave behind?????
    Proactive, for real it works, the commericals are true. I never had bad acne, but my aunt had it real bad. Scars on her face huge red blimishes, and her face was always just red and blotchy, but after using Proactive you cannot see the scars or anything its great stuff.. its worth the $30. Good Luck!How do I get rid of pimples and their nasty scars that they leave behind?????
    The scars are from you picking, stop picking.
    Stop picking at them! I saw a guy who picked on his pimples so much that it appeared as if he got shot by a 12 guage shot gun.


    No offense.
    Try Masturbating, it clears the skin, relieves stress and frustrations.





    Masturbating does wonders.
    eh man just stop picking them and wash ur face with warm water every night b4 bed. drink a lot of water, take natural food and fruits. also remember to exercise as much as possible.





    ... good health
    There are many ways around that. It maybe easy or hard, depending on your skin constitution.





    First things first, Get to know your skin. Is it dry, oily, sensitive? This will determine what skin products you may apply to your skin. Different skin products for different skin types.





    Second, know any allergens in your surroundings, whether it be food, dust, pollen, or anything that you do that may be associated with these stuff. Better if you list down all the foods that you eat or the things that you often do--consciously thinking about those things/foods that may affect your skin(for example, foods like milk, cheese, eggs, chocolate, seafood, MAY cause %26amp;/or aaggravate allergies %26amp;/or pimples;on the other hand, if you play sports, say baseball, soccer, hiking, you may be exposed to dust,pollen, etc. Others claim getting few hours of sleep make them experience pimple ';breakouts';).





    Knowing all these may minimize your chance of getting pimples, simply by avoiding these possible don'ts.





    Also, knowing healthy foods %26amp; eating them is highly beneficial. You can't go wrong with herbs, fruits %26amp; vegetables. They fight toxins in the body, improve blood circulation(in this case,the face included) %26amp; has biochemicals %26amp; nutrients that can fight bacteria( bacteria feed on oil-rich sebum in the skin which then cause pimples).





    As for the scars, of course it's better that YOU STRICTLY avoid pricking them yourself(trust me, i know it's fun to prick pimples but ABSTAIN! lol ). This prolongs the healing process of the scars. Some topical skin products may help. But if you prefer natural ways, you can just eat healthy, as i stated above.You can also try applying sliced fruits directly to your face(cucumber,tomato, apple, papaya, etc).You can rub them on your face for 5-15min.(Be sure to try it first on a small area of your face or hands to test for any allergic reaction). Also, try putting honey on your face.It's a natural moisturizer with anti-BACTERIAL properties(among others) %26amp; sooo many nutrients beneficial for your skin.





    Take note that everything i stated here are NOT just for pimples%26amp;scaars, but also for general skin (%26amp; body)health %26amp; for a youthful, beautiful skin. Trust me, try my advice.You could never go wrong.





    %26amp;remember, there are NO QUICK FIXES. The natural way is the best way. After all, it's the way our body was designed. Let your body heal itself (%26amp; the pimple scars).





    Good luck!
    Retin-A





    i have used it for years. it gets rid of scars. at first, it will make your face red and inflamed. you build up a tolerance in a month or two. then, you should uses it at least every other day or every 3 days. you have to get the .1%, the lesser amounts do not work. i like the cream best, not gel. the one you can order overseas has perfume in it and i don't like it, so i get mine in mexico. either way you don't need a prescription. or, you can go to a dermatologist or your dr and get a prescription. but, it is very expensive in the U.S.





    Retin-A is an acne treatment that also removes wrinkles and improves skin appearance and condition





    Retin-A, containing tretinoin (sometimes called retinolic acid), derived from vitamin A, can reduce severe wrinkles within only 6-weeks and completely remove fine lines. Indeed, many expensive skin-creams currently on sale boast of their extremely minute quantities of retinolic acid!





    Retin-A acts by improving blood supply to the skin, which in-turn increases the turnover of dead skin cells. Accordingly, new more subtle and younger looking skin appears at the surface. An additional use of Retin-A is to speed up the rate of skin repair after cosmetic surgery.

    BARE MINERALS!! http://www.bareminerals.com/





    Bare Minerals is the best thing you could ever get for your face. I used to get so many break outs from all the make up I used, I used to use liquid foundation and pressed powder, EVERYTHING! But one fine day I found bare minerals and everything changed, my skin is so healthy, I don't get break outs. I used to see a dermatologist for my break outs before because I thought there was something wrong with my physically, when I went back (after using bare minerals) he looked at me in complete shock and asked what I've been doing to skin and if I've been seeing another dermatologist. lol





    There are so many other imitation minerals out there such as Sheer Minerals, Loreal and other brands. If you want to do something good for your skin, don't settle for less, get bare minerals. It's a little on the expensive side but its completely worth it. You get your money's worth and also you don't always have to keep buying it because it lasts such a long time. I usually put it on in the morning when I wake up and its there for the whole day. I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. Of course I had to get up at the crack of dawn and I didn't sleep until the crack of dawn the next day. My make up was flawless - no retouching, nothing.





    The best thing to do is get the package. I usually get it from Sephora. It's $60, comes with everything you need. Brushes, base foundation, warmth (gives u a glow - like a bronzer), mineral veil (best product ever). They sell the individual items but if you were to buy everything in that box individually it would come up to way way more than $60, so you're better off with the box. Also, when you're done with all the make up in that box, get a new box, dont just replace the make up jars. The reason is that with every new box, you'll get a set of new brushes. You always want to replace your brushes because after extended use (approx 2 - 3 months) your brushes will get dirty and have germs and bacteria. You don't want these things on your face. So it's good to replace your brushes.





    Good Luck!

    Will a spray on foundation cover up the scars on my legs??

    I have many scars on my legs and I need a good cover up!!Will a spray on foundation cover up my legs well?? Any good suggestions???Will a spray on foundation cover up the scars on my legs??
    You can try it and see I think thats the only way to find out. I think though that the foundation will just darken the are where your scar is and make it just as noticeable. Maybe see a doctor or dermatologist for suggestions on how to get rid of the scars. I know there are creams out there that can reduce them but as for which one is the best you should ask your doctor or even your pharmacist.

    There is nothing that will make this look better. Over the next year, they will fade slightly, becoming closer to the color of the surrounding skin but will never go away. They will always be visible and you will probably have to answer questions about them the rest of your life. One option when you get older is to save up and have some laser treatments done on the area to lessen their appearance. You can try some bio-oil or mederma but the results from either of these is fair to poor at best.I have scars all over my wrists and arms...is there anyway to get rid of them?
    If time doesn't take care of it doctors can fix it. I don't think insurance would cover it because it would be considered cosmetics. It will take a chunk of money. You have to decide if its worth it. Maybe you could keep them as a reminder of how far you have come in life emotionally. I don't know you but at least you no longer cut yourself, so you have made some progress.
    Just tell people you were in an auto accident.

    if you have no spots any more, just scars then go for it, i wouldnt advise it if you have spots to have the laser surgery.





    but even if you go to a specialist then they might turn you down if you dont have severe scars, as red marks will fade and scars will heal, it will be two years for the scars to finally reach the stage that they will stay at and not repair any more, and all the red marks will go away.





    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg4_9F3Uo鈥?/a>





    this is laser surgery, you can ask a skin specialist, yeh and they are available in quite alot of places, and if he doesnt advise laser surgery or a chemical peel then there are loads of other options that you can have dont worry





    gd luckI have heard about ';peeling'; to remove pimple scars, but what is a difference b/t Laser Techniq and Peeling?
    DO NOT do a chemical peel or any form of laser...it will only make it worse. Unless you have severe scarring, then don't do it! My cousin did a chemical peel for like 3 red marks on her face...and now she has like 20!! her skin was sensitive and she broke out and it didn't heal right because the skin was so so so sensitive causing more scars!





    Just give it time...and let it heal on it's own =/

    Why do some people heal better than others (scars etc)?

    I've always wondered b/c I've seen people get minor injuries as little children and have retained scars to prove it.





    I've had some pretty gruesome injuries, and the doctor even predicted the scars were there to stay, but they all disappeared - no sign at all (as an adult). Why is that?





    So why is it that some people are able to heal better than others in the same situations?Why do some people heal better than others (scars etc)?
    A lot of things will determine how well you heal.





    For example, diabetes, especially when it is not well-controlled, makes people heal less well. There are a lot of diabetics out there missing toes, feet, or legs due to gangrene caused by this.





    Other variables that can contribute include how good your nutrition is (if you don't have the materials to build new skin very well, you're not going to build new skin very well), drugs (long -term steroids tend to thin people's skin), how good people are at not picking at wounds, and how clean the wound is kept (since infection makes them heal slower and uglier).





    The factors above can influence, but some people also just heal better than others, the same way how good your teeth are, how easily you get stretch marks, and what your body wants to weigh have strong genetic components that aren't easy to change dramatically no matter what you do about it.Why do some people heal better than others (scars etc)?
    man, I was wondering this myself yesterday or today. what a coincidence.





    skin sometimes is so resilient, and then why would there be a scar. it's like the skin either heals itself all the way, or says, 'ok, that's good enough.' and you get a scar. so that's why. :)


    those others are good answers, I think other factors might or might not be: tightness of skin at injury, and sun damage(tan).
    Probably depends on the severity of the scar- the exposure to what caused the scar in the first place- the chemicals involved (i.e. there is a specific scar that has the appearance of acne although is not related by any means, it results from exposure to a substance including chlorine)- and also what the individual consumes (for instance, someone who consumes a well balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, or the daily recommended dosage of minerals/vitamins is more than likely going to have a better result in diminishing scars than someone who consumes synthetic, chemically processed food with no nutrients, etc.) also, genetic or DNA material could be accounted for- someone may have better genetic coding for repairing scars, and yet perhaps agitation- if someone cleanses the area where the scar is or doesn't, places a chemical that will or won't assist the healing in the area.. and age as well, how old are they is a general indication on how efficient their body's systems are working (a child with a scar at age 5 more than likely will have better healing versus someone who is 85)... many, many factors...

    Does anyone know if lazer treatment for acne scars and pores really work?

    Hi there,





    Yes it does but it is a costly operation.





    Depending on your scars I would recommend a scar cream.





    I use Zenmed and it did wonders for me.

    scarf
    You should use coco butter scar removal stick or just put makeup on it
    don't get one at all. covering a scar no matter where it is means you are trying to hide something. never hide the scars that are on the body.
    Don't get a tattoo. Either get surgery to cover it up, or just live with it.
    wear a better shirt
    My aunt has scares from surgery she needed to get to remove skin cancer on her legs. She uses a heavy coverup makeup the color of her leg skin and it works great. Try to find a good quality cover up at Sephora .. I reccommend buying a thick liquid cream to apply first and then get a matching powder to put over it. Waterproof makeup might also help for the summer when you sweat or swim.

I have far advance PTB records on my past and healed , but lately early this year during one of my pre employment medical exam for abroad i failed due to scars in my lung due to my past PTB cases. Now that I am about to undergo again in medical exam for another job opportunity, and I don't want to lose this job . I need this job very badly. My family will be hungry if I fail to get again this job.What will I do. Everytime I apply I always failed due to this seems to be a mark or scars in my lungs.When I consulted my physician ,he told me that I am well already,but it will be a forever a scars in my lungs. My problem now is how can I overcome this fear of failing the medical exam.Best regards!Thanks!tianlongxia@yahoo.comHow to pass my medical examination test?Before with past history of PTB (Now lung scars)?
    More than likely, since you will test positive for a TB skin test, they will have to get an X-ray. It will be helpful for you to bring in the past X-rays in order to show that there is no increase in the size of the tubercles and therefore that you are not having active TB.

    you can use murad acne spot lightner! or retina from the doctor! i work at sephora and lots of people love the murad one! to cover up i would use a cream based concealer i like the time balm! then use laura mercier pressed powder on top of it! thats how i disguise mine!How can i get rid of these scars????
    Did you itch them? Why would you do that in the first place? Ok here is what you need to do.





    1- The Tomato Treatment





    Take a fresh tomato, give it a good wash then slice it into reasonably thick pieces. Rest the tomato on the scar and leave there for a few minutes. Perform this procedure twice a day before washing your face (so you don't go to bed with bits of tomato sticking to you!)





    2- Lemon Juice





    If the tomato treatment doesn't give you the results your after try this great homemade acne scar treatment. Slice up a fresh lemon and once again apply it to the scar. Because lemon juice is citric acid (which is part of the AHA group) it makes an effective homemade acne scar treatment. Lemon juice can also help increase the elasticity of your skin which is another great thing about it.





    3 - Mint juice





    Mint juice is a great way to help reduce acne scars. Simply apply some every morning (or evening) to your scars, allow it to sink in, leave for a few minutes and then wash it off. Mint juice is easily one of the most effective homemade acne scar treatments around.





    4- Water





    Water, that wonder liquid, is BY FAR the best homemade acne scar treatment around. Drink heaps of the stuff, every single day and you'll really notice the difference. Water helps so much because it encourages the growth of new skin cells and the removal of old ones. Also, water helps your body expel wastes which can lead to new acne outbreaks (and the possibility of new acne scars)





    As you can see there are a number of natural ways to combat acne scars without having to purchase expensive topical creams or surgical procedures (abrasion etc) Of course the best treatment for acne scars is preventing them from appearing - try not to squeeze spots as these can lead to nasty scars. That is perhaps one of the most important factors of homemade acne scar treatment.
    It's only possible to hide scars if you wear white face makeup, black eye paint, and bright red lipstick. And it's impossible to cover them if your father was a drinker and a fiend.





    Just ';joking';. Why so serious?





    You should start with face wash. I recommend Clearasil Ultra because it clears any current blemishes and prevents new ones from starting.


    http://www.clearasil.us/index.shtml





    And as for makeup, use a generic concealer, foundation and cover up.


    You can find them at your local drug store or for a little bit more, at the mall.





    If you need any more information, e-mail me. I'd be glad to help. =]
    you're a teenage i'm assuming, because my face looks somewhat the same.


    if you are going to wear makeup, try to buy a brand that allows your skin to breathe through it. if you don't, acne will just get worse.


    and buy face cleaners. try every kind until you find one that works for you. I find the deep pore cleansing the best for me, but everyone's different.


    good luck(:
    a liquid foundation is your best bet.


    it will cover up your redness definitely, and fill up those holes,


    sounds gross, but if you want them gone, thats what you should do
    Those are large pores which can cause acne, i advise you to probably get a facial or a microdermabrasion to tighten them, i probably wouldn't use certain kinds of make-up which might clog your pores.
    See a dermatologist. There are medicines and herbal remedies for scars.
    Clinique's pore minimizer and then they're perfectly real compact makeup :)
    They are there for good sorry and not worth worry just cover with makeup.

    it reduces pore apperence

    Okay, so I have four really noticeable scars on my left leg and one on my right leg. My legs are really nice. I mean they're just the right skin tone, soft, long, and strong but my scars just make them look bad. And now, swim suit season is already here and I am starting to wear shorts. I really want to make the scars disappear without ruining my legs or skin. So, do you have any ways that can help me? Thank you for all of your help!What can I do to make my scars disappear? URGENT?
    really thick strong cocoa butter found at like anywerWhat can I do to make my scars disappear? URGENT?
    I think cocoa butter works best. I personally would not want to get rid of my scars. I have a big one on my leg from when i got cut when i fell. Its an awesome story and i feel proud of it lol a sign of toughness
    We have this stuff called BioOil which fades scars and stretchmarks, so look for something like that from a pharmacy.

    Do you think she was referring to my acne scars?

    On new years eve i was coming off the train with a couple of my mates.A girl caught my eye and says Hey sweetie Happy new years.(let me tell you she was very pretty)Me hesitant (because i knew i was under that train platform with the crappy lighting.)say oh thanks but fidgeting not to look her straight in the eye.She smiles and goes Don't worry i think your gorgeous.That was it and she walked off with her friends.Strange huh.?Do you think she was referring to my acne scars?
    She liked you but she's now the one that got away and you can never get a second chance isn't life grandDo you think she was referring to my acne scars?
    Most girls don't care about something like that. You were just acting shy. She just wanted to set it in stone that she thought you were attractive and you didn't have to be so stand-offish. It isn't strange at all.
    Maybe, she may know you're insecure about it and felt the need to tell you how she might have felt so you wouldn't be embarrassed. I would have ran up to her and asked for her number =p
    absolutely not,


    you probobly were just acting shy and insecure. and she wanted u not to. girls love confedince
    well, you were OBVIOUSLY very self conscious. I think she picked up on that for whatever reason and gave you a nice complement.
    I think she was just confirming her interest and letting you know she was indeed thinking that you were attractive.
    Lol That funny randoms saying your uglyyy .. nuh she was probably drunk
    except the comment next time give her one, if likes u get her number take it from there
    im tell u a story when i was younger i didn't have acne n all sudden i had this case of horrible break outs. i got acne n it was all bad. i was really open b4 acne then all sudden it seemed like i was sinking on titanic.i over came it eventually but to this day it sometimes bugs me. though i don't have acne i have sum scars too. i had this life changing experience a year ago when i was with my dad working we got suck in stopped traffic. i saw this kid with a head deformity i mean he had big head n this kid acted normal.he was waving at everyone and being happy i taught to myself if he doesn't' care why should i care. i mean its tru acne is bad but there are worser things than acne. yea she probably saw u were self conscious which is okay acne does that to u.. i know i didn't really answer ur question im just tryin make u build sum confidence acne destroys ur confidence n its really hard to get it up trust me.but once u get ur confidence u will fly HIGH trust me. im up top now.. remember there's worser things than acne scars atleast they can be treated other things can't .... gud luck.

    How can i get rid of acne scars?

    How can i get rid of acne scars on my face (cheeks mostly) and body? Will vitamin e make me break out or will it work? Also i heard that using exfoliators to remove dead skin cells might work too, is this true?





    would this be a good product, or would it make me break out?

    Thanks guys


    =]How can i get rid of acne scars?
    Vitamin-E does not reduce acne scarring and may actually cause you to break out if your skin is oily. Use topical vitamin-C and Copper Peptide. It is a two step process. First you exfoliate using 1-2% salicyclic acid or 7-15% glycolic acid to encourage the removal of damaged skin proteins and then the application of Topical-Vitamin C or Copper Peptide to stimulate the generation of collagen and skin repair. Check out http://www.acnetreatmentlab.com for more information about copper peptides, topical vitamin-C study and info on how you can make your own topical-Vitamin-C.How can i get rid of acne scars?
    regular Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels and AHA products. Glycolic acid is best. Lactic acid is good too.





    Use at night or be sure to use sunscreen if done in the morning.
    Please check out one of the links on my page (by clicking my icon first) as I am unable to post them here for unknown reasons. They will help. Good luck.
    There are things you can do, depending on the types of scars, raised, ice-pick or depressed fibrotic. But they are not over-the-counter. You should be talking with a dermatologist. There are things such as lasers, dermabrasion, chemical peels


    and more.

    Dont jerk off or have sex for few weeks. If it helps then continue so on. And if you eventually get rid of, acne spread the wisdom.
    I dont know about vitamin e oil, i been using the proactive since may of this year and seen pretty good results. also, using mederma (very expensive) %26amp; pure cocoa butter (cheap). I also heard of using lemons but never tried it myself. what i have been doing works good for me personally, but both products you should rub into the scars several times per day. about ten mins or so...just rub it in...NOT AGGRESIVELY. With continued use, my skin is looking so much better these days.
    I don't think you can... sorry. bye bye

    I'm African American &have minor acne & scars on my skin. Any suggestions to clear up my face completely?

    Does AMBI really work? Or should I try at-home microdermabrasion kits? And what facial wash and MOISTURIZER do yall suggest?I'm African American %26amp;have minor acne %26amp; scars on my skin. Any suggestions to clear up my face completely?
    I'm not sure if AMBi works because i never heard of it. Here is what I do...


    mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpenisve and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingerdients. toothpaste is good also (for some people). put only a little bit before you good to sleep. some people use this as a mask but don't do it! it can change your skin tone and make your face discolored. aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticable. use the gel or the real thing. try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not to hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. the use cold water at the end to close you pores. the smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. an egg yoke is good also. i used this when i had pimples. just take the egg yoke (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water. keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc. zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. you can buy these almost about any large store (such as walmart or shaws.) have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. clearasil, neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start. don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin. tea tree oil helps alot, and it can help scars heal faster.I'm African American %26amp;have minor acne %26amp; scars on my skin.

    Hi there,


    If don't have the time or the money to go see a dermatologist, a good idea is to try a home microdermabrasion kit. microderma is one of the few resurfacing procedures that are allowed on dark and brown skin. I have used several home kits and many of them work very well. You can find my full reviews at the link below.


    Good luck!
    ive never heard of ambi im sry...but what i do to get rid of my acne scars is use vitamin e...i open up a pill and put the liquid on my scars...it takes a while but it helps it heal somewhat faster
    consult a professional dermatologist and listen to his or her recommendations...

    Do you think you should let your Scars should ruin your self esteem?

    I got diagnosed with cancer about 4 months ago, and have to have surgery. I had 5 inches removed from my thigh, and im very tiny, so it looks even bigger. They said it wont look like a ';normal'; scar for about a year. My concern is that people will stare at it and ask questions, or that this now alters the way i look to some people. Should I be honest when people ask or keep it to myself?Do you think you should let your Scars should ruin your self esteem?
    I have had 15 surgeries in my life and I am quite scared I also have a large scar from a third degree burn. Most are noticeable





    I have found that if you are OK with them than others are as well. It toOK a while but I am ok with them now.





    Most people do not star or make comments but if one does I make a remark like '; you should see what the other guy looks like';


    or '; I am horrible in the Kitchen , you better not get close to me when I am making a salad'





    For those close friends who really care I would tell them.





    But if you do not make a big deal no one else will accept jerksDo you think you should let your Scars should ruin your self esteem?
    you have always had that certain you that you share with the general public. there is, also, the you that is somewhat more private and you only share with those involved in your life.





    as you go about your daily life you have scenarios where there is a place for everything and everything in its place, a time for everything and everything in its time. your ability to exercise these discretion's should help you to keep this new problem in prospective. your private support will stand by you in your time of need. you need them to understand and i'm sure that they will. this is the time when you need to let those special to you help you.


    and you know, this too shall pass.
    No, because not all the people concentrate on your body shape or something, but they see your inner side. If our people here, we not really think about beautiful people, but people who have good heart or good attitude.

    There's a long list of various treatments for scars.





    Take it from someone who used to extensively cut themselves on purpose in their youth... While my forearms are riddled with them I'm amazed at how many people don't don't notice. I don't even notice or care anymore.

    How you are perceived has just as much if not more to do with your personality as your appearance. Good self-esteem has very little to do with what you look like if at all. It comes from within.

    those pllp toke my answers so choose one of them
    Utter Cream. Seriously, go down to the nearest farm store, and pick up a jar of ';Utter Cream';. I know it sounds weird. But try it. (It's the stuff farmers put on their cows utters)! (Nipples). I had a girlfriend who had very bad acne. As her acne was clearing up, she use the Utter Cream.





    (If you don't find it in a Farm Store, many inexpensive department stores carry it, like Ocean State Job Lot, and 'Dollar' Stores).





    PS She and I broke up, before I saw any improvement.
    see a dermatologist or your primary doctor
    they don't go away but you can use cover up, It kind of helps
    This is going to sound very very odd, but it worked for me... Pat your face at night with your hand or a flat object. It will sting but your actually revitalizing the under layer of your skin - causing it to form new layers..... Just try it for a few weeks for about 2 minutes each night. If you dont see a difference then stop.... I went to a dermatologist for years, spent thousands, ended up doing lazer surgery which had the same effect of my patting my own skin... Save your time %26amp; money!
    prevention ...don't pick em.
    use zap-it

    my cousin got it done and it looks realy good =]
    they scar? uh oh! sux 4 me!
    Try coco butter, or any other scar removers you can get form CVS or Walgreen's.
    don't pick at them I know is hard. try to buy an olavera plant cut a little piece every night and cut it side ways apply every night it works wonders and it is supposto help your skin over all.
    Try Maderma or Bio-Oil. They cost a piece of money. The first about 20.00 the other about 10.00. You will find them in the First Aid section of any drug store.
    wash your face with milk, oatmeal, and lemon juice
    liquid vitamin E its in the vitamin section
    I have them too. Its really impossible. With time, they scars will get less noticed. It sucks! Unless you have the money for plastic surgery or injections, than there isn't really anyway =( You can buy creams to help smooth it out, and make it look a little better. Good Luck!


    Also, another tip....I live in Florida, I tan alot during the summer. Getting a tan on your face will darken the acne scars and they will be more noticeable. Try to avoid sunlight on your face if possible.
    Go to a dermatologist and get dermabrasion.

    First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for $160





    It's expensive, but the product DOES work.





    My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.





    I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.








    I hope this helps. =)
    Natural stuff won't work if there are scars. Apply almond oil lightly to your face. It contains Vitamin E and may help hide the scars. I knew someone who had laser surgery and another person who had plastic surgery. The results were good, but it was expensive. Personally I think if you cannot afford the surgery, then almond oil is a good option since it actually hides the lines and the marks. Of course, they do not go away, but it plumps up your skin and you look good and healthy. It is quite sad when acne ravages your skin because there is no easy way of removing the damage.
    Permanent! Makeup.

    i know what you're going through. I have very pale skin too and had acne scars. I went to a Clinique store and they have many, many different shades of foundation. They have shades for albinos. So if you're worried that your skin is too light, those foundations will blend in with your skin. But if you just want to get rid of those scars, here's what i did. I went to a tanning booth just a couple times and after that the scars were completely gone. I don't know how it worked but it did! Just give it a try.How do i get rid of spot scars?

    Yes, they do


    You can speed it up with a cocoa butter lotion or:


    Toothpaste


    Lemon juice


    Exfoliate (wash your face with sugar)


    Baking soda + water


    DRINKING LOTS OF WATER


    Iceing your pimples


    Don't wear make-up


    Don't touch themDo brown acne scars go away over time?
    Yes, acne scars do go away eventually. I know how you feel, because I get a lot of them, too. The time it takes to go away depends on how severe the scar is. Some scars I've had took a year to go away, and some took only a few weeks. I know there are treatments for it, but I haven't found anything that really worked for me, so I can't help you there. :(
    Yea they go away
    ugh ya...i h8 acne marks...thy go awy as u grow...just watch ur appetite.

    Why are some scars dark and some light?

    some heal to be lighter than your skin pigmentation while others heal to be darker. Why?Why are some scars dark and some light?
    If you expose a scar to sunlight while it's healing it's more likely to be dark. It also might depend on how old it is, healed scars (that havent tanned) will lighten over time. This answer would also vary depending on your skin tones, certain skin types tend to scar up differenty that others.

    What is the best product to remove post acne scars?

    Try cocoa butter or Aloe vera creme. It will be a slow process but you should begin to see some clearing in three to four weeks with twice daily treatment.

    Does Vit. E really help surgical scars? How long does it take them to blend in as best as they're going to

    anyways...Had 10 hammertoes sliced into...When will they start looking halfway normal? Should I use Mederma?Does Vit. E really help surgical scars? How long does it take them to blend in as best as they're going to
    I have used Vitamin E with success on scars, but you have to use the capsules and pierce them, not the oil that's sold. There's too little Vitamin E in the oil to be helpful.





    I have also heard good things about Mederma which might work better on surgical scars. Be sure you get clearance from your surgeon before using it, though.





    Good luck with this.

    Would you feel exposed if all your emotional scars were visible?

    Yes. Power hungry people like to manipulate people's wounds. While other people like to try to heal them, but since they didn't cause the damage they can't heal them. Though you can make people aware of what something is about. It only makes them try to find other more effective ways to avoid it.Would you feel exposed if all your emotional scars were visible?
    Behind every emotional scar, there is someone. That someone always spread it maliciously and most people don’t give feed back to us. We feel happy as if no one knows the scar out of ignorance.

    What cover up (for zits and scars) is the best that stays on all day?

    i need to know and i need suggests on how much it normally costsWhat cover up (for zits and scars) is the best that stays on all day?
    Dermablend is pretty good, but it`s quite heavy. It might not look natural if you have to use a lot. I`m not sure if you want that, but I think it costs about $35.





    I really love Bobbi Brown`s creamy concealer kit. It would be perfect to put over tough scars, and also works great on dark circles. It comes with loose powder as well.. I think in the US it costs about $40, in Canada it`s $50...





    A nice lighter cover up (liquid concealer) is Shiseido`s concealer, it comes in a little cylinder tube. It`s quite light but hass pretty decent coverage and looks natural. It costs about $25. However, there isn`t very much in the tube.





    Cargo makes great foundations and concealers, they`re really light, look natural and have good coverage. Their oil free foundation costs less than $30, and so does their concealer. Decent sized tubes too, they last a while :)





    Oh, and another great one, Clinique`s Perfectly Real liquid Makeup. Great coverage, feels pretty light and isn`t fake-looking. I used to use this, then switched to the Cargo foundation... it costs about $30.





    I`m not sure if using Bareminerals would work for you, since I hated it and it might make your acne stand out more because it`s strange like that but yeah...





    Hope this helps!





    Edit: You can find Cargo, maybe Clinique and Shiseido at Sephora.What cover up (for zits and scars) is the best that stays on all day?
    Try Derma Blend. The one that comes in a jar. It will cover anything. It costs about $27.00 in a dept, store. Have the person there match your color.

    You don't really wanna put a foundation because that could flare it up more...I would try minerals, like from Physicians Formula, Maybelline, Lo'Real, any beauty line that u can get from a drug store. But if u want to go more into a ';higher'; brand, I would suggest Bare Minerals, or even MAC Mineralize SPF15 foundation. Minerals in my opinion seem to cover even more that regular foundation, it also looks more flawless... srry I don't know on the pricing.. u might have to look up on the internet... HOPE THIS HELPS!1

    You should go to a pharmacy and look for some cream to wipe on. Just buy a little. Or just put on baby lotion. it helps.

    I have little bumps on the back of my arms and now on my legs, well i picked at them and of course i have scars now. ive stopped picking but the scars are really bad and its embarrassing. i wont even wear a tank top. ive tried putting make up on my arms but it really doesnt help. i look like some kind of dirty person and i couldnt be anything farther from that. ive tried lotions and nothing helps.I have little bumps on the backs of my arms, now i have scars any ideas?
    Yikes! My sister had this condition (and still does, but it's not quite as severe). It is called dermatitis and there are quite a few medicated lotions for that. Also, you might want to see a dermatologist about it, and see what he recommends. There are many store-bought medications as well, but seeing a dermatologist will really help. One last piece of advice is, although you probably know this already, don't pick at the bumps. Good luck!I have little bumps on the backs of my arms, now i have scars any ideas?
    Oh no, thank you! And I know what you mean about the picking, at least my sister does. And thanks for the five stars! Report Abuse

    Sorry for not putting this in my last comment, but I just remembered! Try purchasing a shrug so that you can wear a tank top. The shrug will most likely be thin so that you won't be too warm. I wouldn't have bothered with this comment, but I can't imagine life without tank tops. I live in them! Report Abuse

    It could be acne, try using oxy acne body wash which contains the ingredients to fight acne and for the scars try using Palmer's cocoa. I hope this help and please don't pick at it. It will only cause scars and cause more to spread. Or it could be something more serious such as a staph infection, you should really check with a dermatologist just in case this could be the problem and they will give you the medication you need to treat your problem. I hope this help.

    Neosporin works well to eliminate scars if you can use it without it giving you side effects since you have Psoriasis. You should really be seeing a Dermatologist where this matter is concerned. How do you get rid of scars?? ***Psoriasis sufferers***?
    Try to buy Emu Oil as this can help make scars lighter. I used it on my face after I had shingles on my left check. You can buy EMu oil from Pharmacy.

    What can i do about acne scars?

    1. Step 1


    Wash your face with soap and water twice a day and immediately apply moisturizer. Washing your face more than twice a day can result in dry skin that can become flaky and cracked. Washing the proper amount helps remove unhealthy oils that prolong scarring.


    2. Step 2


    Scrub your face at night with warm water and immediately wash with cold water. Warm water will open your pores. Cold water helps close pores, which in turn keeps oils out of your skin so your pimples and scars become healthy.


    3. Step 3


    Apply vitamin E oil to your skin once a day. Vitamin E provides a natural oil that helps restore elasticity and regenerate skin cells. Applying more than once a day can leave your face oily and oversaturated.


    4. Step 4


    Purchase scar removal cream from your local pharmacy. There are several over-the-counter options available that help erase scars. Ask the pharmacist for recommendations before you purchase a cream. Read the instructions carefully as some of these treatments contain chemicals and oils that may be harmful if used improperly
