What's the best, non-surgical, way of getting rid of severe acne scars?

At 24 years old Ive developed severe acne localized in a small area on my forehead. It may be some kind of bacterial infection, but that%26#039;s not what%26#039;s bothering me. It%26#039;s leaving behind very dark scars, and it looks terrible. Is there any way to get rid of these w/o surgery?





-JiNX|||well in order to get rid of this you have to do something that is really nasty you have to smudge egg yoak all over your face.|||Get some vitamin e capsules. When the acne is starting to scab over, break open a capsule with a pin and rub a drop or two on the scab a few times a day. It should help it heal faster and scar less. You can also rub the oil on scars and see if it will help them fade. It should. I%26#039;ve used this on my face before and it works well. Face lotion with vitamin e in it is good for scars too - I used one by L%26#039;Oreal for a few years and it made a childhood scar lighten right up. Give it a try, I hope it works!|||I would suggest seeing a Dermatologist if you think it might be an infection.|||i dont know


sorry|||If you have insurance I would suggest going to a good dermatologist and getting many chemical peels, because they work great for acne scars. But if you don%26#039;t have the insurance go to platinumskincare.com and they sell the same stuff dermatologist use, but much cheaper than you would pay to get peel after peel. Anyway, just be careful, because some of it is pretty strong stuff and will burn you if you put to much on. Follow what they recommend, there will be some for acne scars. Good luck! But get ready for your face to peel.|||hi


I would advice you to try some home based remedies for skin ,hair and weight problems, this link has some good information it sure did help me so here goes,

goodluck|||there is this gel where i got fm the doct zindaclin..it works for acne n the scar gradually lighten n dissapears...|||Aloe Vera - Natural is better. Science has discovered that the gel appears to contain a %26quot;WOUND HORMONE%26quot; that accelerates the rates of healing of injured surfaces. Scientists have found that the Aloe Vera %26quot;GEL%26quot; is a diverse mixture of ANTIBIOTIC, ASTRINGENT, COAGULATING AGENT, PAIN INHIBITOR, CELL GROWTH STIMULATOR and SCAR INHIBITOR.


Aloe works in your skin in 4 ways:





1.) It Penetrates. It actually sinks down into the lower layers of the skin (dermis) where your collagen is. Nothing you buy over the counter can do that. Why is that important? Cause if you buy something that says it boost collagen, it%26#039;s not true. If it can%26#039;t reach the collagen, it can%26#039;t help the collagen. Penetration is also important when it come to cleansing, you want an aloe based cleanser to clean deep down in your pores. And it aid in healing damage because it works under the skin where new skin cells are formed.





2.) It Exfoliates, Aloe is a natural exfoliator, the plant enzymes actually break down the soap and residue that hold dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells make your skin look flaky, dry and dull. A build up of dead skin can also break down your collagen over time (causing wrinkles) which is why it is so important to exfoliate. Aloe does it naturally without scrubs or chemicals.





3.) Aloe Regenerates- Aloe regenerates skin 11 times faster than you body does naturally. That%26#039;s why aloe is often used on burns. If you have scars, sun spots, wrinkles or any other skin damage, aloe can help heal it fast!





4) Aloe is a Natural Anti- inflamitory - Acne anyone? Redness? Aloe cleanses, removes impurities, and shrinks and tightens pores all at once.








Pepetides and Alpha/Beta Hydroxy acids work wonders on scars too, but you want a product that has an aloe base, because aloe penitrates into the Dermis (or lower skin layers) where new skin cells are made.|||Microdermabrasion... find out were they are using the Dermasweep|||It may take a couple of weeks, but you can use the chemical peel and exfoliation products by nearly any cosmetic company. Neutrogena has one out, as does Avon. Bath %26amp; Body Works carries one by Wexler - I think that%26#039;s the right name. Olay should have one, too. I%26#039;m a little partial towards Olay and Avon because my family has used them for years - my grandmother used Olay back it was %26quot;Oil of Olay%26quot;, and my mom has sold Avon for over 20 years. The Anew line has a pretty big fan base, you might want to give it a try.





Also, try moisturizing the area before the scars form - while it%26#039;s still a little scabby. When you do this, massage the area gently, in a circular motion. Massage brings blood to the area which nourishes cells. Massage also breaks up adhesions that may form.





Good luck.|||The best thing in the world is Acutane. It is a pill you take every day for 6 months. Ask about it from your dermotoglist. It will clear your skin permanently of any acne scars and you will not have any more breakouts. It is a high dose of Vitamin A. You have to be careful and not get pregnant with it though. It costs about $100/mo.





The microdermabrison is second best. It shaves off layers of skin off your face, but eventually these layers grow back. And if your scars are deep enough, you will have to peel through several layers of skin with several treatment appts. These are your protective layers, and you could be more prone to get sunburnt w/ these treatments.|||laser and it really does work|||Walgreens carries this stuff called Mederma. It%26#039;s about $20 for a tube, but it helps with all scars, and it worked for me!|||Today is your lucky day!!! I had the same thing ,not any more. You need to go to ebay and but a micro-dermabrasion cloth. It works wonders,you use it once a week and it slowly removes layers of your skin. I have had 650.00 dollars worth of micro-dermabrasion by an aesthetician. With the whole process of that i still wasn%26#039;t satisfied,my friend told me about the cloth,i got it and no joke the first time i used it i noticed a difference. You just have to be sure to read the directions,and be sure to moisturize afterward,morning and night with an oil-free-non-comedogenic-face moisturizer.You can get that at wal-mart. Just check out ebay,the place i bought mine from was called best by or something like that,they sell derma-spa products. It will cost less then 20 dollars with the shipping|||Have you tired %26#039;Bio-Oil%26#039;. Its good for scars,uneven skin tone things like that. it takes time but it worked for me. good luck
