You can’t go back in time and stop yourself from popping a pimple that caused that big scar on your forehead, but there are many options to treat those acne scars. Sure, you should consult your dermatologist before trying out any tips. They will definitely find the best solution for you. But here are some tips to treat them;
1. Prevent scars from the beginning;
Never pop, squeeze, or pick at a pimple or scab. Popping one once in a while might not result in scarring, but you will never know until it heals. Use a good skincare routine to heal and prevent acne. Keep your skin moisturized and use antibacterial products to prevent infections.
2. Cortisone fade cream;
Cortisone is used to help reduce redness and itchiness. It is also used in fade creams to diminish scars. Get a product that can help reduce scarring with new wounds or pimples,or the appearance of old scars. Consult your doctor before using any cortisone fade cream.
3. Laser treatment;
If you’re serious about getting rid of scars, laser treatment is probably one of the most effective options. There are several different types of laser treatments used for scars. Some only treat 15 to 20% of the skin but with nearly the same results as a laser that treats the entire scar. Lasers can sometimes be accompanied with pain, but they are most effective at smoothing out the skin.
4. Filler treatments;
Some scars are raised above the level of the skin, and others pit deep into the skin. Dermal fillers are often used to fill in scar tissue. The problem with filler treatments is that they are temporary. You must continue to use the product to maintain the results. However, it is usually a less expensive option than laser treatments.
5. Time;
Some scars will go away with time. Small scars can take months or years to fade completely. Red scars will usually fade to skin color over time even if it doesn’t disappear altogether. Keep moisturizing your skin and let time do its work.
6. Maderma;
Mederma is ideal for new scars, but it can be used to help reduce the appearance of old scars as well. If Mederma is applied regularly, it can reduce redness and discoloration, and it can reduce the amount of scar tissue that forms on the skin.
7. Moisturize;
Moisturizing with a lotion full of healthy ingredients such as aloe vera or shea butter can help reduce the appearance of scarsr. Keep the skin moist while acne heals to reduce the possibility for scarring. Old scars will likely not be affected by moisturizing. Drinking more water is more important because it moisturizes the skin from the inside out.
8. Bio Oil;
Bio Oil is a product that is fairly inexpensive and can be applied to your skin once or twice a day. Some people say it has faded acne scars and sun spots. Even if it doesn’t fade scars, it will moisturize your skin.
9. Scrubs;
Your skin is constantly regenerating skin cells. If the old skin cells sit on top of the new skin, your skin will look dull. Using a gentle scrub will peel away the top layer revealing what is underneath. Just as acne scars can fade over time, scrubs can help speed up the process by revealing the new skin underneath.
10.Nutrition;
Nutrition is the most important aspect of acne scar treatment. Your skin needs certain nutrients in order to rebuild new, fresh skin to replace the scar tissue. Take a multivitamin everyday that has plenty of B vitamins necessary to rebuild skin. Include foods in your diet high in omega 3s such as grass fed meats, wild caught fish, and coconut oil. Eat lots of vegetables and drink water every day.
