Acne Scarring
Posted: 06-19-05 16:13pm

Does anyone suffer from acne scars? I had
severe acne throughout my teenage years
and still deal with it (i'm now 21). I
dont have it as severe as I used to, but I
am left with pitted scars on parts of my
face.
I hate the way I look and feel very
insecure about the scarring.
I was considering visiting my
dermantologist to seek out options
(surgeries,etc) to see what can be done
about getting them removed or less
visible.
Has anyone out there had any type of acne
scar procedure and luck with it?
Is it expensive?
Thanks

There are many scar treatments such as
creams and stuff- vitamin e cream is said
to work as well as brands like scarzone
and mederma.
Cocoa butter works for some people but not
for all skin colors- it only seems to be
for people with a darker skin color.
Hope you find one of these helpful, take
care.

What Has Help For Me

I has used Dr. Brandt products pretty
religiously for the past year and I have
seen some great results. I'm 23 and I
have very bad adolescent acne scars from
old break-outs and from current break outs
and the Dr.Brand's poreless line of skin
care along with the lightening gel has
given my skin life again. I highly
recommend them. You can check out the
products here: edit

Go to ebay and order yoko cream, it's very
small but worth it, I saw a difference in
less than a week. Good luck

Glycolic acid peels work great. Glycolic
acid peel 50%. Its like a toner, you put
some on a cotton ball and rub it on your
skin. Leave on for one minute ( no later
then that) it will burn your face if you
do. Then take baking soda and put it on
your skin so it neutralizes it. Do this
once a week for 2 months they will all be
gone. Good luck.

By the way there is supposedly a new
glycolic acid gel. And it is supposedly
alot better then the peel (the toner)

Well I think it your lucky day I think
that I can help you. I too get acne
scares but I use skin lighting products
like "skin success"and before bed I put
some on with a q-tip and with in 2-3
weeks you'll see some what a difference.

There are many non-surgical methods that
claim to get rid of acne scars but the
results are mostly of insignificant
improvement. The only way to smooth
irregular skin surfaces is to remove the
outer surface of the involved area
thoroughly and wait for new skin.
Usually the end result is 60-90%
improvement

Blustar,
it depends where are you living. If you
plan some holiday in thailand, I can
recommend you some places. As I said in
my former post, the scars need to be
removed and you need to wait for new skin,
the remains of 10% - 40% visible can be
covered easy with make up, so that there
are no scars visible. The price depends
on the clinic and/or doctors, but its
usually 1/4 of the prices in the states or
europe.

:lol: to my surprise i'm not the one to
buy that balm 911. Maybe it's something
new, but it works I can't say anything
bad. Maybe I bought something up to date!

hi,
i joined the forum today, have you tried
photodynamic therapy. Check with your
doctor and you can also research on
inter-net yourself, there are thousands of
webs on inter-net about it. Just read
them and consult with your doctor if this
is the right treatment for you or not!
