Q: What is the the best acne scar treatment for African-Americans?
Until now I have had mild acne but nothing that left any permanent scars. About 3 months ago, I started having really bad breakouts on my forehead and it left a few scars. Normally, I would just apply cocoa butter to the scars and they would eventually go away but I have had these scars for two months and I have seen little to no improvement. Does anyone know of a good acne treatment for African Americans? Preferably something that shows quick signs of improvement.

A: The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple.
For acne scars and blemishes I lighten them up using papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google ’shopaholic’s bargains’

Q: Acne scar treatment after six months of clear skin?
Well up to upto last june i had sever acne
i have been clean of any acne for 6 months already, but i have scars.
What i wanted to know was what treatment is fast and effective to remove the scars.
Price is really not a concern
Just i want to get rid of these horrible scars
any help would be greatly apreciated.

A: Personally I have found that Vitamin E works the best on scars. You can buy it in a cream (or moisturiser) which you can apply twice a day or, if you want something stronger, it comes in a liquid oil which you can apply directly onto the scar tissue just before you go to bed, allowing it to soak in overnight. And, as a bonus, Vitamin E isn’t at all expensive.

Q: Acne scar treatment- Plastic Surgeon or a Dermatologist?
If I wish to go for acne scar treatment, should I seek consultation with a Plastic Surgeon, or a Dermatologist will suffice?

A: dermatologist

Q: How to make the cucumber and lemon acne scar treatment?
I have some light acne scars that just wont go away and its driving me nuts. I want to know how much cucumber juice and how much lemon juice to use and if its ok to just use lemon juice from one of those jars or should i use the juice right from a lemon?

A: You do this too? My friend told me about it and have been doing it ever since! Im not sure if we are thinking of the EXACT thing but what i do is, shave a cucumber (a good amount, or enough to cover your whole face), mix it with flour and a little bit of lemon juice (lemon juice irritates my skin) and mix it together. It forms a wonderful face mask that is cleansing, takes out all the oil and dirt from my pours, and helps cure any blemishes that I have. Good Luck!

Q: Anybody have any advice for acne scar treatment?
I’m sixteen and suffered from chronic mild acne for a long time. I want to know about laser acne treatments that could help me. Did anybody get any done and if so how much do they cost? I really need help because I can’t stand looking like a freak my whole life. thank you.

A: Acne can be very mild, resulting in a few lone blemishes, or it can be severe when it occurs on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, and back. Pustules and deeper cysts occur with very severe acne and scarring may result if the condition is not cared for properly. These scars may be visible for a lifetime. Here’s what your can do to prevent these scars from forming, and treat them if they do develop.

Preventing Acne Scars
Never pick or squeeze acne blemishes. This can lead to the spread of acne and the development of acne scars. Instead, there are a number of treatment methods that can be used to care for acne and prevent the development of scars. Herbs such as chamomile, lavender, juniper, bergamot, dandelion root, Echinacea, poke root, witch hazel, and burdock root can be used to reduce toxicity, improve the skin’s condition and treat acne. Vitamin supplements can also be helpful as vitamins A, C, E and B6 are vital for healthy skin. Also, avoid exposing your skin to the sun’s rays. Initially, sun exposure may dry out an acne blemish, but over time, unprotected sun exposure can damage the skin and further aggravate problem acne.

Types of Acne Scars
Medical professionals have developed a acne scarring classification system that aids in the diagnosis and treatment of many acne scars. Scars may be classified as ice pick, boxcar, or rolling.

Acne Scars – Ice pick
As their name implies, ice pick acne scars are thin, sharp scars. The skin looks as though it has been sliced with an ice pick. These scars are narrow, but deep, extending into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer.
Acne Scars – Boxcar
Unlike ice pick scars, boxcar scars do not taper to a point. Instead, they are round pits that have sharp vertical edges. Skin resurfacing techniques such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing may be used to treat shallow boxcar scars. Deeper scars require full-thickness treatment techniques.
Acne Scars – Rolling
Rolling scars appear to have a rolling or undulating texture. They are the result of folds in the skin to the subcutaneous tissue below. Rolling scars must be treated by breaking up the fibrous bands that are causing the skin to fold or roll. Subcutaneous incision is the method most commonly used to treat this condition.

Acne Scar Treatment

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers such as fat, collagen, hyaluronic acid derivatives, and polytheyl-methacrylate microspheres with collagen can be injected into acne scars to raise the surface of the skin and give a smoother look. The injection of dermal fillers does not permanently correct acne scars. The results are temporary, so further injections are necessary.
Punch Excision
Deep acne scars such as ice pick and deep boxcar scars can be treated with the punch excision method. This procedure uses a punch biopsy tool that looks similar to a round, sharp cookie-cutter. It comes in diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm, and the correct size can be chosen to match the size of the scar. Local anesthesia is used to remove the scar tissue and suture the edges together. If a new scar should develop in the old one’s place, it will now be easier to treat with a skin resurfacing technique.
This technique can also be performed with a skin graft, where the scarred skin is removed and that area is filled with a skin graft taken from behind the ear. Some kind of skin resurfacing technique will still likely be needed to correct any differences in the skin’s color and texture.
Punch Elevation
This method of surgically correcting acne scars uses the same punch tool that is used in the punch excision method. It is used on deep boxcar scars that have sharp edges and normal appearing bases. With the punch elevation method, the base of the scar is excised leaving the walls of the scar intact. The excised base is then sutured to the surface of the skin to fill the void. There are fewer incidences of color and texture differences with this technique and less chance of developing another visible scar.
Subcutaneous Incision
Rolling scars can be treated with subcutaneous incision. This method is used to break up the fibrous bands that cause the skin to roll or appear undulated. Local anesthesia is inserted under the skin with a special beveled needle that remains parallel to the skin’s surface. The needle is then used to gently cut the fibrous bands with a piston like motion. Bruising is likely to occur with this method, but it will usually fade in about one week.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a popular treatment used to cure many skin defects. Carbon dioxide and YAG lasers are the two most common types used for the laser resurfacing of acne scars. Using the controlled beam of a laser, the top layer of skin is burned to a precise depth. The skin then heals itself by replacing the lost skin with new skin.

A: Im not sure about the scars, but as for oily and dry I use the wave by neutrogena because my nose was ALWAYS very oily and my chin was pretty dry, but I really like it :]

Q: What are the chances of my face being totally ruined and burned if I got a acne scar laser treatment?
I have some nasty acne scarring on my temples, forehead, and cheeks. They make me really depressed so I’m thinking about getting it treated by a laser or whatever the latest thing the dermatolists use. BUT, I’ve seen some pretty nasty pictures on the internet of peoples’ treatment go totally wrong, they end up with a burnt face or severe redness. please help =(

A: Go to a certified, trained professional. They will guide you through, start with and test patch or something see how you react.
I would think [some of] the examples of bad treatments would be from quacks and other shonky ‘doctors’ offering cheep treatments.
You get what you pay for.

Q: Acne scar treatment for my 15 year old daugthter including lasers? or dermabrasion?
So my daughter keeps asking me to take her to a specialist in beverly hills to get rid of her 2 minor acne scars that she has got from picking them is their any way i can tell her something or do someting about it? its affecting her life and her self confidence so anyone? prefferably specialist

A: Have you spoken to a dermatologist about Retin-A treatment? My niece had really bad acne scars and a couple weeks after starting Retin-A (cream applied 1x day at bedtime) her scarring had faded drastically. It also prevented new breakouts. Retin A is a derivative of Vitamin A and promotes cell regeneration, thus your old/scarred skin will peel for a few days but after that the new skin will start growing in. There is a generic brand that works equally well (Trentonin) and it is covered by most, if not all, insurance companies. By the way, if she is still having acne breakouts, as teens do, it may not be cost effective to have laser, etc done this early. I’d consider treating the source first. If these 2 minor acne scars are effecting her life as you put it, then may I suggest she see a therapist instead to talk about her self esteem issues, which are probably deeper than her skin.
