How can you get rid of acne scars?

Completely getting rid of acne scars takes a long time. Getting rid of scars isn%26#039;t very easy.





Squeezing or picking at acne can damage the skin tissue around the acne. This can lead to the scarring that is such a concern for many people.








If the nature of your scars is mild to moderate, then home remedies are sufficient. There are many lotions based on alpha hydroxyl acid and retinol. These lotions are very effective for the treatment of the acne scars. it also depends on the type of your skin. If you have a sensitive skin type, it will be better not to use lotions based on the above ingredients. They can harm sensitive skin. There is a specific range of medications to treat people who can not undergo retinol and alpha acid treatments. The most effective among them are lavender oil, aloe vera juice and rosehip seed oil. They can heal scars without harming the skin in the long run.





I suggest trying aloe vera juice and putting that on your face at night where the scars are.





Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Often times a version of baking soda is used in cosmetic microdermabrasion treatments. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water. Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.





Also, try lemon juice.


To use the lemon juice treatment to remove your acne scar you will need to first wash your face with warm water. Then pour some lemon juice on a cotton ball, and then gently rub the effected acne mark area. For best results leave the lemon juice on your face for about 10 minutes and then dry the affected acne scar area.





To start seeing results with the lemon juice it can take anywhere from one day and even up to three months. Results will vary depending on the seriousness of the acne problem.





Another big factor in reducing or getting rid of acne scars is that you will also need to watch the kind of oils you are putting into your body. Some oils that you use is just screaming acne come and get me!





One of the most common forms of vegetable oil is the sunflower oil. It is highly recommended that if you are using such oils in your cooking then you should consider stop using them to cook as it will only increase the risk of more acne break outs.





By avoiding the use of vegetable oils in your cooking, it has been reported that it can be one of the leading factors in clearing up your acne by 50%. Even in sever cases it has been said that that people who stopped using such vegetable oils, have been completely relieved of any future acne outbreaks.





Ready to hear this? Believe it or not by drinking more than the recommended 8 glasses of water daily will immediately begin to see results with getting rid of your acne scars. If you are a severe acne suffer you should stay away from carbonated drinks, and caffeine drinks such as coffee, and sodas.





Or if you have the money, go to a dermatologist.





If you have serious scarring from previous bouts with acne, there are some things you can do. One form of treatment is laser resurfacing, which can be done in the doctor%26#039;s or dermatologist%26#039;s office. The laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving skin smoother. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The doctor will try to lessen any pain by first numbing the skin with local anesthesia. It usually takes between 3 and 10 days for the skin to heal completely.





Another method for treating acne scarring is dermabrasion, which uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. It may take a bit longer for skin to heal using dermabrasion 鈥?usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.





The newest form of treatment for acne scarring is called fractional laser therapy. This type of treatment works at a deeper level than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion, Because fractional laser therapy doesn%26#039;t wound the top layer of tissue, healing time is shorter. Fractional laser therapy is quite costly, and it%26#039;s not usually covered by insurance.





A person%26#039;s acne will need to be under control before having any of these treatments.





Depending on the severity of the acne scars, the doctor or dermatologist may also suggest a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to help improve the appearance of scarred areas. These milder treatments can be done right in the office.





Some of these are rather expensive though|||For the most severe type of scars, you can consult a plastic surgeon about dermabrasion. This is where they freeze-dry the outer most layer of your skin and then sand it off. But there is a catch: Not everybody can have this done. Depends on how thick your skin is and other factors. Also, even this procedure won%26#039;t completely get rid of the Manuel Noriega-type scars. :-(





If you%26#039;re simply talking about redness, there are a number of products out there that will help tone down the redness, such as Eucerin%26#039;s Redness Relief that is also a moisturizer that won%26#039;t cause your skin to break out and has sunscreen.|||i wish i knew!|||well i dont know of any permanent solutions but they say aloe vera will help.|||Try mederma for scars it won%26#039;t completely rid you of them but it will lighten them significantly. Also if you put neosporin on a pimple once it is close to healing it will keep you from scarring in the first place.Good luck.Hope I could help.|||They fade and go away over time....about 3 months I think? Don%26#039;t pick at the acne, that will make the chance of it leaving a scar, smaller. There%26#039;s a product called acnefree? I think ..it%26#039;s a white bottle it was real popular for awhile, at Target and Walmart.. anways it has a scar lotion, it kind of works... but not as well as I%26#039;d like it to.|||get a razor blade and scraatch it off|||you have to get the skin lazered off by a dermatologist.. i am not really sure on the cost.. thats the only way :-/|||Three tonnes of foundation. See. a. dermatologist. Only. Way. There%26#039;s some kind of way where they like, zap the first few layers of skin, which is the damaged layers, and they fall off and then there%26#039;s a beautiful, perfect layer of skin underneath. It%26#039;s expensive though, but i saw it on television. they do it to people who have been bitten by spiders and stuff and whose skins gone all scarred.|||If your scars are really, really bad, I think a dermatologist may have to do something surgically and there are things that they can do now; more modern techniques. Also, if you pick at your skin, try to unlearn that habit, since it causes more scars and spreads bacteria to other parts of your face.





However, if the scars are not very bad, you can heal them somewhat by eating a really clean diet (vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes) and drinking lots of pure water. It means a lifestyle change if all you eat is junk foods and fried foods, and soda pop. Using bentonite clay may be helpful, as well as vitamin E topically and internally.


It is thought in some circles that acne is caused by a deeper condition such as liver stagnation and/or candida. A book you might want to look into reading is Healing with Whole Foods, by Paul Pitchford. It explains the Chinese system of diagnosing %26quot;dis-ease%26quot; and healing through diet and nutrition. Chinese healing deals with the whole bodily system and not just the symptoms.





We humans are supposed to grow a whole new layer of skin every 7 years, so as you get older, the appearance of your scars will most likely soften. That happened for my brother in law, who had very bad acne in high school. Plus, as you get older, people don%26#039;t put all of the importance on the exterior, and that is a relief for us all!





good luck in your healing journey!|||go into the garage and get some BORAX powder soap.


using that over your skin %26quot;shoulders and feet essentially feels wonderful%26quot; It starts gritty and works into a thick mass of foam.


This home spa idea works great for genitally removing old layers of skin. if used on your face you may wish to apply small,small amount of lotion. %26quot; I love it- a spa treatment without bringing all my manliness into one: smile:|||COCOA BUTTER...PUT IT ON EVERY NITE B4 U GOT TO BED...WEN U WAKE UP AFTER U WASH YOUR FACE GET A LITTLE BIT (CUZ IT IS GREASY) AN RUB IT ALL OVER YOUR FACE...RUB IT IN.....IT WORKS...U WILL C A DIFFERENCE SO WILL OTHERS|||You will need to go to a dermatologist.|||you cant sorry well maybe u could if u got like skinn from ur *** or something lol|||first you need to worry about getting something to get rid of your acne, because if you still have it you will still get scars. a very cheap way that I do is scrubbing your face everyday to get rid of the old layers of your skin faster but it takes awile to see results. to get faster results you should see a derm and get a facial peel or microdermabraision.|||100% aloe vera gel!
