How do I remove acne scars?

Tittle says it all.





%26amp; How long will it take for the scars to disappear?


Thanks in advanced.|||The most talked about and popular treatment for these acne scars is laser resurfacing. During the treatment, the intense beams of focused light target skin layers rid unwanted cells. Lasers eliminate acne scars as they exfoliate layers of skin, revealing the newer, clearer skin underneath. Laser resurfacing can improve the appearance of the acne scars by about 30 - 40 %. However after the laser treatment, a longer time is required for the healing from the redness, swelling or flaking. Meticulous care of the wound is required to prevent secondary bacterial and viral infection that may cause further scarring.|||Removing scars is very hard, especially if you have had them for a long time.





But it can be done you just need to perservere.





You need to be exfoliating the area with a good quality exfoliator ( i recommend Modern Friction By Origins) Its pricey though but worth it.





Exfoliate once or twice a week.





You can then apply either lemon juice to your face on some cotton wool. Twice daily.





After applying the juice, you should rub in either Rosehip Oil, Or Bio-Oil. Both are used to fade scars and will only work if you keep on at it.





Nothing is an easy fix for scars but keep applying the oil twice daily, once in the morning and once before bed. Keep doing it for at least 2 months before really thinking if its worked or not.|||Vitamin E prevents acne or pimple scarring and can also be used to fade old scars. Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.

In the movie The Dark Knight, how did the Joker get his scars for real?

The Joker tells two conflicting stories about how he got his scars(one had his father doing the carving, the other he did to himself for his wife). So is there a real reason for his scars? Maybe from the comics?|||The Joker never had scars in any comic book stories, although he might gain some now for the benefit of new readers. For the record, the version of the Joker featured in %26quot;The Dark Knight%26quot; has very little to do with the original character, and I find it hard to recognize the character Ledger played as the Joker, but because so many people are now familiar with the character, we%26#039;re stuck with him. The point of Ledger%26#039;s Joker telling contradictory accounts of how he became scarred was to show that he is a pathological liar. We%26#039;ll likely never know how he was scarred, but I sincerely doubt there was any truth in either version he told. Some things are not meant to be revealed.|||We don%26#039;t know for sure... the object of the stories was to tell us that he took the pain for a reason. And that it benefited the person that it referred too.





He%26#039;s the Joker... which is amazing! Although is character is very strong and overwhelming. Heath Ledger had to go through major ordeals with that role. He lived in a hotel room for a month, alone.. learning the part of the Joker. Nuts! Theres more behind it, but that%26#039;d take forever, b/c i love Batman and i know a little too much about everything in the movie industry. Cheers!|||The joker is confused about his own life.


The comic book writer said that the joker was so sane that he got bored with his life and decided to spice it up. So his story always changes. He doesn%26#039;t even remember how he got them.|||did u mean scar in his mouth,hes cutting by himself so he can smile all the time(gees that%26#039;s bad hes crazy) you know joker live was ruined parents leave him his wive leave him and people don%26#039;t like his joke so he turned crazy after all|||It doesnt say, if u watch the batman with jack nicholson in he doesnt even have scars like that|||good question

Is a stem cell acne treatment effective and safe in removing pimple scars?

Hi, I%26#039;m interested in removing my pimple scars and even out my skin tone. The dermatologist said that the most viable solution right now is to use stem cells in order to remove my pimple scars by 60 to 80%.

It is a good cream and it is recommended for surgery scars. If this doesn%26#039;t work, SMALL scars may be removed with CRYOTHERAPY. Go and see a dermatologist for advice.|||A number of home remedies have been proposed for making scars go away. Some involve potato peels, others aloe, but most advocate some kind of oil (usually Vitamin E) rubbed into the scar. However, a skeptic of these treatments has pointed out that massaging a scar several times a day breaks down fibrous materials and makes it go away faster. Using any kind of oil acts as a lubricant to make the massage more effective.|||Try CONTRACUBEX. can be bought from the drug store... specially formulated for scars particularly from surgery...|||Mederma But it%26#039;s pretty expensive though.

If its food... You can%26#039;t really get away with anything. Bandages won%26#039;t work, and makeup is unsanitary.





Sports bandages are quite good, the ones used for sprained wrists. Tube..something. Most people don%26#039;t ask about those. If they do, say you have serious excema or something and its gross.

How to get rid of pimples fast.....and how to make scars from pimples fade?

Ok, i have suffered from acne since i was 10 or 11, i am 13 now. I have been made fun of a few times cuz of my face. I need some help on how to make pimples go away fast, and last.

for acne and acne scars|||ugh, same thing with me! ive been battling acne for years and have tryed everything under the sun to get rid of it. what i do that works really really well is, well, i pick at them. i know its not good for them but i do. i then wash my face with CETAPHIL. and then i just dab on some Clean and Clear spot treatment cream and its like they INSTANTLY go away. the more you try to cover them, the more visible they are goign to be. and NEVER pick at them before school cause then theyll be inflamed ;)|||Well, it is really hard to make acne go away or fade, especially fast. There are a few things you can try, like a product such as proactiv or chemicals peels. For some thy will work, for others they won%26#039;t. You could try getting your parents to let you go to a dermatologist, who, if other products aren%26#039;t working for you, can perscribe a medicine that keeps oil production down or kills bacteria in your pores. You could also get some other types of treatment from your dermatologist, if he thinks it fit, like laser or heat therapy. These treatments are usually costly and need to be kept up. Perscription medicine could be a little more reasonable.





For your make-up: To make your blemishes insivisble, try to find a good concealer and pat it (DONT rub) onto them. Also, I have heard that using a product that is formulated to reduce eye redness can get rid of a pimple%26#039;s redness. I have never tried it, but have heard it works well.





For your scars-first, STOP picking at the pimples. The only way you can do that and possibly not get a scar is if you only pop whiteheads, and with a pair of tweezers. Even that can lead to scarring in skin that tends to form scar tissue. So stop picking at them first. Then, go to your local pharmacy and find a bottle of pure Vitamin E oil. Every night dab a bit on top of the scars. I%26#039;ve found that it works amazingly. Don%26#039;t worry about getting more pimples from the oil, if you just put it on the scar, I%26#039;ve never had any problems with pimple from it, and my skin is sensitive to getting blemishes.





Lastly, a few blemish prevention tips-


1-Keep your hands off your face. Hands have bacteria and oils on them, two perfect riggers for pimples.


2-If your hair is oily, wash it thoroughly every day and keep it out of your face as much as possible. Sleep with it in a bun.


3-Any creams or other products you use on your face-make sure they anre non-comedogenic, meaning they won%26#039;t clog up pores


4-Don%26#039;t scrub your face when you wash it-this will irritate your acne. Gently massage your face.


5-Take a positive attitude. If you are always acting depressed, that will be even more unattractive than a couple blemishes. Don%26#039;t hide behind hair or hands, first this can cause more acne and second it looks terrible! Much worse than the acne.





Good Luck!


Happy Valentines Day!|||use vitamin b5 treatment for pimple and something like zenmed scar kit for blemishes.|||PROACTIVE and use it everyday, the whole cleasing line! 3steps! it does work, and also sorry about scarring, but i do know every 7 years ur skin sheds and new cells appear helping to change over to new skin, wear spf sun block on ur face to protect it and also, i dont think anything will git rid of it overnight.... avoid drinking pop or high sugar foods and chocolate also dont drink or smoke, wash ur hair often, and dont touch ur face, the oils in ur hands leave it on ur face, and not to mention whatever else is left on ur hands if u havent washed them in awhile.... .goodluck


!|||Personally, I have struggled with acne since I was 13 and I am 17 now. I have also utilized Proactiv but it did not help at all. At first it did but then it just infected my whole face. As a result I decided I needed a dermatologist. So, I suggest you get a dermatogolist because I have no pimple left. From time to time, I get a pimple but most of the time it leaves the next day. For the acne scars, those will fade gradually as you visit the dermatologist for acne treatments such as dermabrasions. As for me, I have been going to Tijuana, Mexico to visit a dermatoglogist every month. He is amazing. I was clear in a month! If you live near mexico, you should try going to him.

Jc3|||You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don%26#039;t pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. God Bless.|||i have only today been told that pro-active is actually not good for your skin as it has bleach (what the?) in it. Pretty silly if you ask me.


St Ives scrub is great, esp if you get the blemish one.


Cetaphil soap is good as it is a neutral ph and is gentle on the skin.


As far as scarring goes, try Bio oil. Its great, non greasy and helps scars fade.





Let you face breathe for a couple of days if you can. If you must use makeup, use a tinted moisturiser|||Hi,


You may think I am NUT for suggesting this, but it works SO well for me that I feel like I should share it. I use Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner (after I wash my face)..use a cotton pad to apply. When that dries (watch out it may sting your eyes, so close them while it dries) apply Milk of Magnesia as a mask. This will dry and you will feel a tightening...I leave it on all night...


AND I also apply a thin layer of it before I put on my make-up....it makes an amazing primer.


So why might this work.. I think it is because the MOM and the ACV puts your skin at an alkaline PH level..making it impossible for bacterial to exist.


The cool thing about this is MOM and ACV are easy and cheap to get a hold of.


IVE TRIED SO MANY THINGS and spent a lot of money trying to find something that works..so far this has been amazing.|||1. quit picking. no really, QUIT PICKING!


2. wear mineral makeup...Jane Iredale is the best....Bare Minerals is also acceptable. if these aren%26#039;t an option, pick something with light, sheer coverage, not a thick heavy foundation.


3. Nothing is going to heal them overnight. Period. To get rid of redness and swelling temporarily, dot on extra strength Visine a couple of times during the day.


4. Start using a gentle cleanser, Like cetaphil.


5. Once or twice a week, before the cetaphil, use st. ives apricot scrub for acne and blemishes. Scrub vigorously, rinse, and follow with cetaphil. Store brands are fine too.


6. Use a washcloth when you cleanse....buff gently.


6.5 Tone with witch hazel...it%26#039;s gentle, antiseptic, and will pick up any residue the cleanser didn%26#039;t. you can get it at the drug store, and it%26#039;s cheap.


7. Follow with Neutrogena%26#039;s On The Spot Acne Treatment or Mary Kay%26#039;s acne treatment gel. Neutrogena is $4-$5, and the Mary Kay is $7 plus tax. I like the Mary Kay better, and it lasts longer. To use at night, squeeze product along the length of your finger, and spread across your face. Focus on the most inflamed areas, and avoid the outer corners of your eyes, lips, and nose to avoid redness. It will b thick and still wet when you finish. Let it dry b4 you rub against anything. It will bleach fabrics, so sleep in a white t-shirt and use a white pillowcase, etc. For daytime, spread a thin layer across the face and follow with sunblock/makeup.


8. Clean your nasty phone daily.


9. Again, stop picking, squeezing, or even touching your face when you%26#039;re not cleaning or putting on makeup.


10. Wash your nasty hands every chance you get! (If you%26#039;re going to touch your face, (and you are, beacuse it%26#039;s a hard habit to break,) do it with clean hands.)


11. Easy on the hairspray and product that can get on your face and clog your pores.

Thanks for the help!|||I will start off with a few cheap, easy solutions. Try using a skin brush while you are showering will increase circulation which will help the skin to heal and help reduce stretch marks. There are also many creams you can find at your local pharmacy or grocery store that will moisturize your stretch marks, and make them more flexible. Examples of these are cocoa butter and creams or oils containing vitamin E. If none of the creams or oils are effective, you can also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription cream to reduce stretch marks.





Your diet can also help reduce your stretch marks. Eating food high in zinc and silica will help with your collagen formation. Also, eating foods with essential fatty acids, such as certain vegetables and fish oils, help form cell walls. Eating foods high in vitamins A, C, and E will also help.

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 .

as for the oily part goes, you can pick up blotting pads at a drug store which really help, you would be amazed to see how much oil is really on your face.


as for the acne, mines gone now, and all i have been doing is washing it once a week with a very mild cleanser and every night i put cocoa butter on my face, its very rich and is great for your skin. i think that from my experience acne gets worse the more you wash.


for the scars, try pressing some garlic and applying it once a week to just the sacred areas. i cant really help with the large pores, but just try keeping simple one week, and try not using a lot of makeup to clog your pores. (maybe over Christmas break?)


|||Try to stay away from fatty foods. Eating correctly is very important in terms of keeping acne away ( and your health in general). Also are you stressed in your life? People breakout often when they have alot of stress, like finals week. Acne is pretty much a bacterial infection on overdrive.

Hi how can I get rid of a few acne scars on my cheek?

Does anyone know how to really get rid of some red acne scars on my cheek, I have been reading some reviews on things, but I am just ify on some of them. Thanks|||first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their %26quot;beauty%26quot; products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com (under shop online) because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much thanks their line clear advantage , it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in beauty products.....

good.

rub the lemon on your face.

How To Get Ride Of Scars On Your Arms?

My body is covered in scars- im guessing id never be able to have a career in dance right?

I was going to go for a scholarship in Laban in 2 years but i dont know if i could ever get accepted with my amount of scarring. (scarring from self injury)|||Hi lizzie,





You can do this free on doctor%26#039;s prescription in UK but anywhere else you would probably have to pay for it.





If you are in UK.....Get a referral from your GP to see a Red Cross adviser at your nearest hospital to offer this service.





This lady will be trained in camouflage make up. She will look at your scars and your skin tone and mix colours to suit your skin colour.





You will be taught how to apply the make up which is totally waterproof and will only come off with special cream.





You wouldn%26#039;t have to apply it all over, just to the scars, it won%26#039;t show because by matching it to your skin tone it will not be any different to the rest of your body.





Usually they use Dermacolor which you can get online from theatrical sites such as screenface. The problem with that though is that you don%26#039;t get anyone teaching you exactly what to do as it isn%26#039;t like applying ordinary make up. Also you need to get the colour just right.





I am sure there are ways to get someone to help in other countries, I just don%26#039;t know who or how.





I can assure you Lizzie that once this stuff is on nobody, however close they got to you would be able to detect any scars.





A lot of people with birthmarks on their face use it, even men.





I hope this helps you and gives you the confidence to pursue your dreams darling.





Love Mel.x|||The scars themselves shouldn%26#039;t be a reason to be denied entry to Laban. That would mean that the admissions board would be biased on physical appearance, a BIG no-no with schools. But the actions behind the scars could lead them to possibly deny entry.

The Palomar 1540 Fractional Resurfacing will visibly reduce your scars in less than 3 treatments on average. These safe and effective treatments utilize micro-beams of light to create columns of coagulated tissue within the Dermis (the second layer of the skin) to form new healthy tissue, stimulate collagen, and stimulate elastyn to naturally resurface the skin. Palomar Fractional is patented to penetrate deeper than Fraxel for a more significant result. This treatment works on any scar and is also great for wrinkles.

|||Hey Jennifer....





Honestly if your doctor can%26#039;t or refuses to help you, you should probably try another dermatologist in Orlando. This is especially true if you have truly bad acne scars.





Most people who have mild to moderate acne scars consider them bad as well. You probably only really need a dermatologist if you have truly bad acne scars.





However, if you%26#039;re suffering from any sort of discolored skin, you could treat that on your own, instead of going to a dermatologist who will probably charge you thousands of dollars. The first guy who answered your question recommended a treatment option that will likely cost you $10,000 plus. Probably not what you%26#039;d like to do.





Try some otc fade creams first, and perhaps a retinol cream (both can be picked up from your local wal-mart. Use them consistently and take pictures!). If your scars are deeper, there are some peels that could work to gradually restore smoothness to your skin.





If these don%26#039;t work, try Obagi. I%26#039;ve used it for years and it works great!


Only use laser procedures as a last result.





For some more information, check out this site. It%26#039;s really helpful if you%26#039;re suffering from discoloration and shallow scarring:|||Im not sure how this would work for you, but i would constantly get redish marks after pimples that just would never fade.

best thing for acne scars, is vitamin E. you can use either creams or oils. these can also be applied after surgery and help speed up the process of healing.


lasers are a lot more dangerous, and un-natural to your skin. and can cause side affects.

I have red scars and black heads on my face, what do i do?

I cleanse and use Benzeclin at night. But the red scars and blackheads are always there. How do I make these go away?|||Nose-Strip Method





Wet your nose with a clean face cloth and then dry your hands. Open the packet that the nose strip is in, and rip the little tabs for a better fit on your nose. Put the sticky side on your nose and wait for around 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the nose strip should be as hard as papier mache. Remove it.





Alternatively you could also fill a sink or bathtub with hot (but not boiling) water. Rest your head over the water, so that your face can take advantage of the steam. Empty the sink or bathtub and clean the blackhead removing tool with soap and water. Proceed to use the removing tool, carefully following the instructions.





Wash your face and rinse with water. Do not bother to dry it. Take a quarter-sized amount of facial scrub and lather through clean hands. Massage your face with the scrub to exfoliate the skin. Rinse and wash face again if necessary.





Only use the strips once a week. Don%26#039;t keep the strips on for longer than ten minutes. Otherwise, the adhesive will stick to your nose, and will not remove the blackheads. Try not to touch your face. It%26#039;s a hard habit to break, but dirt, oil, and germs will get into your face and block your pores.





Be careful when removing nose strips; they can create spider veins around the nose, if pulled too hard. Do not use a facial scrub if you have other bad acne -- it could spread the acne and make it worse.|||usually make up will eventually make it worse.





try Neutrogena, or anything that tingles, because it usually works. You will break out at first, but it basically pulls all the extra oils out of your skin, and then it should start clearing up.

Hook yourself up with some good makeup as well. Good Luck!|||MOISTURIZE! When you get out of the shower apply olive oil to your skin while it is STILL WET. Then DAB (don%26#039;t rub) yourself dry. This will get your skin into the mode of being well moisturized. I always use fresh shea butter on my skin. It must be fresh--not the commercial lotions that have a bunch of chemicals in them. Its usually a cream color and it comes in chunks. If it is a specific scar apply pure vitamin E oil to the scar religiously for a few weeks. The scar should start to fade. Make sure you use only pure, natural products, not drugstore items that are enhanced with other chemicals. You will be robbing yourself and wasting your time with those fakes.|||Scars (by definition) cannot be removed. However, certain treatments from a dermatologist (usually involving types of lasers) can fade them. But they will always be there.|||I%26#039;m 16 and my ex used this cream and its a bloody miracle :)

What can i eat/take so that my skin is stronger,and less flabby i guess?and so scars/cuts heal quicker?

Hello,


i%26#039;m wondering what vitamin or foods should i eat to have healthier skin,so it%26#039;s stronger and my cuts/scars heal quicker,


and so it%26#039;s less flabby,


somebody mention some kind of vitamin i was lacking,but im not sure what it was,


but yeah what vitamins help your skin heal,be healthier and be strogner/look better





thanks!|||Eat an avocado, nuts, seeds or oily fish. it has essential fatty acids in them that help to nourish the skin making it moist and have a healthy glow. Every cell in ur body contains essential fats and u need them to heal properly and up ur immunity.


or...


you could take omega 3,6,9 in capsule form if u dont rate eating the stuff above.





Drinks lots of water too to help flush out toxins and ensure that ur transporting enough vitamins to your cells. This will help with ur complexion along side the essential fats.





Eat foods containing zinc such as red meat, chicken, oysters etc. Zinc is needed exactly for repairing the skin and keeping your hair skin and nails strong. These foods also contain protein which is the building block for repairing, making and maintaining ur bodies skin, hair and nails





Again, u could also take this in capsule form. Even better, take * hair, nails and skin* from blackmoores brand vitamins.(take it with a meal containing fat as it absorbs better)





Or if you are getting enough of these, simply try silica. It is a component that makes up to hair, skin, nails and body tissue. A common sign that shows of this minerals deficiency is ridges/lumps on ur nails. This comes in the blackmores formula mentioned above too!


Vitamin C and A also helps with collagen production and maintenance of skin tissue..





Even apply something ontop of ur scars. Personally i think nothing beats vitamin e cream or oil but everyone has their own opinion.


hope something was useful.|||fish or fish oil capsules|||Try some vitamin E.
