Q: Acne Scarring?
I don’t have severe acne, but I was a chronic “picker” and now have the scars to prove it. I use Neutrogena Scar Repairing Masks and it seems to work alright. I know that scarring can sometimes take years to fully heal, but what can I do to minimize how scars look besides makeup?

A: there is a vitamin complex and cream combo that should solve this problem effectively. email me for details, have your settings allow me to reply back.

Q: Acne scarring?
Me and my little brother have acne scarring. Use two were the only ones that got acne. We don’t have a lot of scarring like all over the face, just very little, now that I am almost 19, it bothers me a lot. What can we both do? We have good diets, we eat lots of fruits and veggies, we take vitamins and drink 8-12 glasses of water a day, we both work out together but we have some break outs, maybe two or three pimples. I will have two or three when my cycle is coming on, and he may have two or three when he sweats (he plays sports). Please tell us what we can do.

A: try vitimin e. Drink plenty of water, and wash face everyday. Go to the doctor as well. All of these other solution may not help because everybody has there own type of skin. So see what a doctor says.

Q: Acne scarring and large pores-what is the best way to getting rid of them?
I had acne all my life, it is mostly under contol now, with the occasional pimple. I’m now left with scarring, its not terrible, but it is noticable as well as large pores. I want to know the best way of getting rid of them completely. I’ve tried IPL which helped but didnt completely remove the scars. Please can someone help- my sanity depends on you! Thank you!
P.s I dont need to know how to treat the acne- i’ve done this! Just need to know about getting rid of the scars!

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.

Q: How do I get rid of acne scarring after my acne is gone?
I used to have really bad acne that covered basically my whole face, mostly my cheeks. I still get zits that pop up now and then, but its totally manageable. Now, the problem I’m having is that I have a bunch of scarring left over on my cheeks from the acne I used to have. I have been using the ProActiv 3-step system and i also have been using ProActiv’s skin lightening lotion, though i havent noticed much of an improvement. I dont have any deep scarring or anything, but its about moderate. I hate having these marks on my face and ive been trying to get rid of them for a while. Is there any easy-enough solution to getting rid of moderate acne scarring without having to get involved in surgical processes such as dermabrasion?

Q: how many sessions of microdermabrasion will work mild acne scarring?
I’m 19 years old and I’m planning to go through microdermabrasion. Will I see results with 5 sessions? or will it take 10 sessions though? I have mild acne and acne scarring, oil skin and red spots due to acne.

A: This usually depends on the product you are using for microdermabrasion. I had experienced good results for my acne scars with just 3 sessions of Zenmed’s renewing microdermabrasion complex.

In fact as you say, that you have mild acne, acne scarring, oily skin and red spots due to acne, then why do you want to have microdermabrasion sessions. These sessions at a spa are expensive and would only give you relief from scarring and your oily skin problem.

I would suggest you use Zenmed’s derma cleanse acne system. It is a powerful system comprising of products that helps in getting rid of acne from its roots, stop its early re-occurrence, minimize the scarring and redness, unclog pores and provide a clean, clear and smooth skin. This would cost you just one-fourth of what you would end up paying at a spa and also save you alot of time. I would advise you to go for this stuff for a permanent solution to your skin problems.

I would also offer you to use my discount code “zen4less” to avail a price off, in case if you make up your mind to buy this product.

Q: What is the best treatment for acne scarring?
I have mild acne scarring on my cheeks from previous years of suffering from acne. I’m still breaking out, but it’s mainly just scarring at this point.
From your EXPERIENCE, what is the best treatment for it? I’m seeing a dermatologist and they’re first recommendation was laser skin resurfacing. I’m all for it, but I want to make sure it’ll work before I put all my money into it.

A: Take it from someone who has tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING!

The BEST way to clear acne spots is using these two ingredients..

African Black Soap
and Vitamin E 70,000 IU

twice daily!

its doing wonders for me and i think i was in the WORST condition of all!

tyoe those two in google.. it should not be expensive at all.. its better than any bleaching cream that will later cause damage..

i garauntee after the 2 weeks of use you will be wowed by the power of natural vitamin e and african black soap…

My regimen is.. heat my face with a hot towel for 10 secounds to open pores..

wash faces with african black soap..

then rub a tiny but of vitamin e oil.. it moisturizes the skin so well..!

then put on my make up until i wont have to anymore..

hope that works.

Q: How do you get rid of large pores and acne scarring?
I used to have severe acne on my face and that left scarring on my face. And with the scarring came large pores also. Is there any way to make both less visible without going to the doctor/spa?
It’s been about 8 years since the acne has disappeared. I only get pimples every now and then but it’s not bad at all.
I DON’T HAVE ACNE ANYMORE.

A: I had cystic acne for many years and it left me with severe scarring as well, but here’s what my dermotologist recommended: he said said use ordinary Scotch tape: just lay a strip of tape over the scarred area, then put it up. Repeat this over the same area several times, then move on to the next scarred area and repeat. He said this does esactly the same thing as dermabrasion, basically removing surface cells and forcing the skin to repair itself, reducing the appearance of scars for a dollar versus hundreds of dollars. (I repeat the process until I feel a slight sting and do this a couple times a month. You have to let your skin heal.)

It works, but it’s a slow process. I also use a good cleansing regimen including an apricot scrub, a gentle astringent containing salicyic acid and Clean & Clear Advantage (also salicyic acid), which clears pores as well as treats reoccurring minor break-outs and I use an oil free moisturizer. I also have found a dab of Preparation-H on a swollen pimple takes the swelling/redness right out of it very quickly making it easier to hide with make-up. (I also use a make-up cover stick containing salicyic acid for flared spots.)

Cystic acne is inherited. I’m over 50 and no amount of diet or water in-take or vitamins or type of make-up product has ever, ever helped. In fact, NONE of those things have anything to do with it. For me, it required severe medical intervention: antibiotics made it manageable, then the invention of Acutane finally got rid of the cysts giving me years of peace. However, entering menopause is like adolesence in reverse and causes minor break-outs.

I think the Salicyic acid is the greatest topical invention ever and works fantastic without drying you out–be sure and use that on your minor break-outs!

Good luck.

Q: What is the best medication for acne scarring?
I have adult acne and i would like to know what are the best medications out there for reducing acne scarring?

A: The best way to get rid of acne scarring is to first understand why acne appeared on the surface of our skin.

Acne is mainly due to skin sensitiveness. And this is related to allergic. This happened when the pores on our skin is blocked by whatever substance such as dirt.

That is why the number one action to get rid of acne will always be cleaning our skin like rinsing our faces regularly. And this has to be done correctly. That is using suitable facial cleanser, skin toner and skin moisturiser.

Try to use tea tree oil products. Find tea tree products from any pharmacy nearby. Not only has it helped to cure acne but also to clear off scars. It may take time to see the results. But what is important are patience and faith.

To successfully get rid of acne, it has to be combat from in and out. The above is only from out. And to take action on in is to take supplements that will help to cleanse the blood or to purify it. Just get some advice from any pharmacist on what is suitable for you. And you can also do this by consuming lots of vegetables.

With that anyone can solve acne problems.

To your success!

Q: What would be the best way to get rid of acne scarring?
I developed acne a few years back in my early teens, and now that a couple years have passed, the actual pimples have stopped appearing as much. I haven’t heard of many treatments for removing or reducing scarring, so if anyone has any information, please answer.

A: i use Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Wash and it works great! i’ve noticed a difference in my face. although i had moderate acne which was barely noticeable. i dont know what your situation is but this product says it will help your acne no matter how bad it is. it leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed and doesnt dry out your skin. i recommend it! also, drinking plenty of water helps. i drink like 8 or 9 22oz cups of water a day. one time i can think of was when i had a zit on my back the size of a quarter and it annoyed me that the night before, i drank 3 of those 22 oz cups of water and the next morning, it shrunk so much, i was amazed! try this and it might work for you! also, eating cucumber and tomato helps as well. unless that was coincidence in my case.

Q: Natural ways to get rid of acne scarring on face?
After 4 years, I’ve finally found a way to get rid of my acne, but the problem is that I still have the redness and scarring from bad acne. What are ways that you guys have found to get rid of all of the scarring/redness from acne?

A: The main thing is, it just takes time. Some people think Vitamin E capsules help, but I haven’t ever seen results from that.

I would recommend using something with lemon in it: I use a gentle scrub 2-3 times a week, called Modern Friction (you can find it at Origins). It helps with any past damage, like scarring. I also use a serum from there called Modern Fusion. I can automatically see the scars lighter after I put that on. Try www.origins.com

Drinking water helps get rid of acne, as well as eating healthy, so as long as you are putting the right stuff into your body and often, it should help them go away.

By the way, don’t get microdermabrasian or anything. It’s really harmful and bad for your face as well as expensive. The stuff from Origins I recommended is all natural. They actually call that scrub (Modern Friction) “nature’s alternative to microdermabrasian.” Good luck!

Q: How do you get rid of acne scarring?
I have acne scarring on my shoulders and i really want it gone in time for summer!
I’m on accutane for my acne, but it hasnt done too much yet and ive been on it for a month and a half.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

A: Excessive acne scaring is actually quite common for a lot of people who suffer from bad acne. I used to think I was the only one with so much scaring.

There’s a natural home remedy that you can try that’s suppose to be used for removing stretch marks from being pregnant but you can use it for pretty much any kind of scaring. You probably already have all the ingredients at home so it shouldn’t cost you any money. Just use it a few times and you’ll notice the scars fading very quickly.

Just follow the instructional video and make sure you follow the procedure http://homeremediesforcuring.com/acne-scars

Good luck, I hope that helps

Q: How do I get rid of acne scarring?
I’ve had acne for a couple years now and it’s seems to be getting worse. It’s mostly on my back and all over my back. It’s not very pretty and since that summer’s comming, I want to get rid of the scarring. Any home remedy tips? I dont want to do anything drastic or exprensive cuz I’m only 14.

A: I dont know how helpful it will be for acne scarring, but I know vitamin E usually helps for scars. I was in a big ruckus once, and had quite a few scars on my face. I used some vitamin E oil that was in these little pills. You just snapped the pill in half and rubbed the oil on the scar. Its not expensive either, you can find it at most pharmacy or drug store type places… CVS, Walgreen’s

Q: What is best to reduce acne scarring?
I’ve had A LOT OF puffy red acne that’s been picked at on my cheeks. It’s all gone now, but the scarring is still there. What can I do to reduce the scarring and make my skin look healthier.

I’d like some thing that is fairly affordable (some thing that can be bought in stores), but if you know some thing that needs to be prescribed by a doctor – let me know.

A: I used http://www.cureacnescars.com/ it worked great, I had lots of acne scars after having heavy acne as a teenager, but this natural treatment works wonders and I highly recommend it.
