What is the fastest way to remove acne scars?

I have intense acne scars from at least three years ago now


that just don%26#039;t want to go away.


I know that you aren%26#039;t supposed to scratch at it, and they%26#039;ll go away in a year because your skin eventually sheds and blah blah blah


But I have a lot of black and white heads so I kind of scratch at it, thus my face not quite healing.





What are fast (ish) ways to get rid of scars?


I think I would be a lot prettier without them damnit!





any and all suggestions are appreciated|||I acne problems starting when I was in college. I had acne on my cheeks that was really making me self-concious. I tried Proactiv, Murad, Zyporex, Oxycerin, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with dismal results. I wound up calling a dermatologist. After 3 months nearly all of my acne cleared up. I suggest you try finding a local dermatologist that can help. http://www.homeacnecare.com|||well i read online that baking soda and water works.


im tryin that out to see if it actually works. haha


but its only been a week and its been actually working a bit.


i guess theres not instant results.





but if u wanna no how this works then here it is


take sum baking soda and water and mix it so it makes like a paste kinda. [dont use that much water, there should be more baking soda than water] annd then apply the paste to your face [or where theres acne scars] keep it on for like a mintue or so. then wash it out completely with water. i usually do this i nthe mornin and night. good luck tho|||i would have to say coco butter you can by the stick from walgreens for .99cents....or fade creams like ambi, palmers, or even mederma, but mederma is like 30 bucks... up to you... or just get a chemical face peel... its weird but it works








also i just got a prescription for differin gel its supposed to help with the scars.|||Use Cicatricure|||Severe acne often leaves small scars where the skin gets a %26quot;volcanic%26quot; shape. Acne scars are very difficult (and expensive) to treat and it is unusual for the scars to be successfully removed completely. In those cases, scar treatment may be appropriate. The most commonly used forms of scar treatments are:


Dermabrasion. The top layer of the skin is removed with a high-speed rotary wire brush or diamond-coated fraise (a grinding wheel) to make the scar look less pitted. It makes the scar less visible but does not remove it completely. Multiple treatments may be necessary to get the desired results. This procedure is usually performed by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon and is less commonly done now because of the risk of blood-borne diseases.


Microdermabrasion is a newer technique that has a similar effect to traditional dermabrasion, but is less radical. While dermabrasion is a surgical procedure, microdermabrasion is performed by blasting tiny crystals at the skin or rubbing the skin with a rough tool under suction. Many dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons offer this procedure.


Laser resurfacing. A laser is used to burn off the top layer of the skin. This procedure is commonly known by the brand names of the machines used to perform it, including SmoothBeam. Many dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons offer this procedure.


Punch excision. The scar is excised with a punch tool and the edges are sutured together. This procedure is usually performed by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.


Chemical peels (also known as acid peels). A type of organic acid, most commonly glycolic, salicylic, or lactic, is applied to the skin so that a smoother layer can surface. Despite its unpleasant name, superficial peels are painless if performed properly and require no anaesthetic. Peels are typically performed several times over a period of weeks or months. The procedure can also be beneficial for active acne. Many dermatologists and cosmetologists offer this procedure, although the peels given by dermatologists are generally of a higher concentration and therefore potentially more effective. Deep peels are more aggressive and painful and require significant expertise.


Subcision. The scar is detached from deeper tissue, allowing a pool of blood to form under the scar which helps form a connective tissue under the scar, levelling it with the surface. This procedure is usually performed by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.


Dermal filler. The scar is filled with an injectable dermal filler. There are several trade names..





Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
