Get rid of acne scars!?

i had really bad acne about a year ago. and it was the kind that would form like in a group, so when like a pimple would go away another one would form like right where that one was and then maybe another one would form beside it, so they weren' t individual pimples on my face they were grouped together certain places. anyways im wondering if anyone knows of some cream or something that can get rid of acne scars on my face or at least fade them really well so i don't have these red patches on my face! ANYONE PLEASE HELP!Get rid of acne scars!?
Here are simple things you can do at home:





TOMATO SLICES Place some on your scars. Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin A and will renew scarred and damaged skin.





EGG WHITES Use a Qtip to dab some on your scars and leave overnight. This will prevent and treat scars.





CUCUMBER Use a slice or juice on your face to heal scars.





LEMON JUICE Apply directly on the scars and let your skin soak up the juice, then rinse. Lemon juice will lighten the scars so they are not so noticeable.





OLIVE OIL Massage over the scars and leave for awhile. This is a great moisturizer that reduces visibility of acne scars.





ICE Rubbing some ice on the scars will soothe the irritated skin and shrink the size of pores.





DIET We are what we eat so try to stay away from fried foods and too much sugar.

Dr DGet rid of acne scars!?
dont go for proactive......its going to cost you some dollars, but go to a dermatologist
Get each doctor to tell you very specifically what course of treatments they would prescribe for your scarring, and then get them to explain to you in plain english exactly why they are prescribing that particular course. If you think you may forget, write it down or bring along a voice recorder. Follow up their advice with your own research and if you receive opposing treatment plans, bring them up to other dermatologists and see how well they respond.


Insist on seeing before and after pictures of their previous patients. How many of the people in the ‘before’ pictures have scarring that resembles yours? Can you contact any of these people?


How long have they been practicing dermatologists? What treatments do they have experience prescribing and performing?





Some people who have had their acne scars successfully treated report that as they age, the scarring gradually returns. Other people who have been unable to reduce their scarring report the exact opposite effect. My point is that everyone is different. Be realistic with your expectations and above all: research, research, research! Try to get in contact with people who have successfully treated scarring that is similar to your own and learn what they did. Sometimes you can find these people through dermatologists, support groups, and online forums and communities. We’ve added some links to a few online sources at the end of this article. Now on to the treatments:





Subcision


Cost: Up to $1000 per treatment.


Procedure: Subcision is a treatment where the upper layer of skin is detached from the deeper tissue, allowing blood to flood into the opening and raise the skin in the treated areas. This is usually used to treat shallow and rolling scars and often requires multiple treatments.





Punch Treatments


Cost: $50-$150 per treatment.


Procedure 1 - Punch Replacement: This method involves physically cutting out the entire scar and replacing it with a skin graft.


Procedure 2 - Punch Excision: This method involves physically cutting out the entire scar and then stretching the surrounding skin closed around the wound and letting it heal, thus avoiding the need for a skin graft.


Procedure 3 - Punch Elevation: This method is similar to subcision; it involves cutting the scar loose from the deeper tissue below it and then letting it heal. This usually results in the treated area elevating slightly, which can diminish the appearance of certain types of scarring.





Chemical Peels


Cost: $600-$800 per treatment.


Procedure: One of many different types of acid is applied to the skin, allowed to sit for a period of time and then removed. The acid removes the top-most layer of skin. This usually results in a slightly smoother end result and is helpful for very mild scarring.





Dermabrasion


Cost: $1200-$2000 per treatment.


Procedure: Dermabrasion (not to be confused with microdermabrasion) is a process where the top-most layer of skin is removed mechanically. The skin to be treated is first numbed, and then a rotating abrasive disk is used to ‘sand’ off the top-most layer of skin. This is a painful procedure and does require some down time. Many people who have tried this approach have found that it provides only short-term results, and that the scars do grow back over time.





Laser Resurfacing


Cost: $2500+ per treatment.


Procedure: This is very similar to dermabrasion in that it involves physically removing the upper-most layer of skin to achieve a smoother effect – but instead of abrasive disks or pads, lasers are used. This is very expensive and the results appear to be very similar to those reported by people who have undergone dermabrasion – the scars can return.








Acne Scar Creams


There is certainly no shortage of creams and balms that claim to cure everything from impotence to scarring, but do they work? Most of the reports we have found say “no”, however there are always a few who claim success with these methods, so here is a list of the ones we have found that have had at least one reported success story associated with them (and we only found two!).





Creams containing cocoa butter and vitamin E help keep your skin soft, elastic and healthy. Regular use of such creams may help scars diminish naturally over time. We would recommend combining this with an overall healthy lifestyle.


Apply a 3x solution of medical-grade hydrofluoric acid (or a product which contains it) to the scarred area twice daily for one to two weeks. Do this ONLY under the supervision of your dermatologist because this CAN damage your skin.
