Completely getting rid of acne scars takes a long time. Getting rid of scars isn'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.





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's or dermatologist'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't wound the top layer of tissue, healing time is shorter. Fractional laser therapy is quite costly, and it's not usually covered by insurance.





A person'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.What to do with acne scars???how to remove them soon?

also I would try contacting a different dermatologist to see if they would recommend any lotions or something.
Exfoliate well! Removing layers of dead skin will of course show fresher skin (which over time will be less scarred). I used to have HORRIFIC acne scars until someone recommended a cream called Mela-D for me. It was only $40 and my scarring is almost completely gone!





It will take time of course, since it lightens slowly over time, but the end result will leave you ecstatic! The sooner you start using this stuff the better it is! Treating scars early is really the best course of action.





As for your dry skin, there's a moisturized called Ultra Sheer which is expensive for the amount you get (Also $40) but it's the best moisturizer I have tried in my entire life. Most moisturizers claim to be lightweight and all that jazz, but this one truly feels silky soft, and you don't need to heep gobs on or anything. Very good if you also have oily skin, too!





Going in for an occasional facial (They have ones specially for acne scars, usually around $100) will help tremendously as well. Even if you just use Mela-D for six months, you will be floored by the results (It took less then six months for me to see a huge difference).





Edit: The quickest route if you are super strapped for time is laser resurfacing, but it's incredibly expensive and you can't go outside/expose yourself to even FAKE light, for two days or something. Not worth it!
