Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions in the world. When person suffering from severe acne finally gets it under control, with no outbreaks, it can still be difficult to deal with because of scarring that severe acne leaves behind.

Acne scars are very hard to treat and, until recently, almost impossible to get rid altogether. Acne scar removal treatments have been developed that give the person afflicted with acne scars the appearance they have always wanted really.

To start acne scar removal treatments, the patients skin must be lesion free surely. The doctor will advise you that there are different levels of acne scarring and what level you have exactly. There are three different levels, ice pick scars, boxcar scars and rolling scars. This will be done before any acne scar removal treatment will begin.

Every person experiences a different level of scarring to diverse degrees. Acne scar removal treatments address each patient on the level to which they are diagnosed. There are a few different types of acne scar removal treatments that are offered today. Not every one of these acne scar removal treatments is right for everyone really. Your Doctor will decide which is best for you according to your level of scaring actually.

Dermabrasion is one of the acne scar removal treatments that was developed earlier. It removes the damaged skin and allows fresh pink skin to grow easily. This type of acne scar removal treatment usually takes less than an hour to perform and the results are excellent one. The procedure is done in the dermatologists office.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Effective acne treatment and scar removal surgery?
    I have severe acne problem and I have used those acne free and Neutrogena acne therapy lotions.

    It doesn't seem it works effectively and it dries my skins to the point that it actually "peels off" my skin.

    Also, my face gets itch after a while whenever I use them. (and my skin peels off)

    As they indicated, I reduced the usage only once a day but it still dries my skin too much. (and doesn't reduce the breakouts)

    I found out that there are laser acne surgery and skin resurfacing surgery (I have a lot of acne scars on my face),

    I want to have these laser acne surgery and acne scar removal surgery.

    Are they effective? How much is it going to cost for the entire face care?

  2. QUESTION:
    I Have A Couple Questions On Laser Surgery For Acne Scar Removal?.?
    Okay, so I am currently 17 years old, and from the age of 12 up to a couple months ago, I had suffered severe acne. I had to use so many different medications, had to get myself birth control, tried countless cleansers that claimed to get rid of acne, and I even used to get facials every week. Finally, I no longer have acne, the only time I get a pimple is "that time of the month".

    Now that all my acne is gone I suffer from many acne scars, and i'm going to get laser surgery on my face to resurface my skin. Almost all of my scarring is on my cheeks. If you could please answer some questions for me it would be highly appreciated<3

  3. QUESTION:
    before and after pics of the removal of very deep facial scars in cosmetic surgery?
    only before and after pics of the removal of very deep facial scars which may occur from chicken pox,trauma,accident or severe acne in cosmetic surgery

    • ANSWER:
      Scars can never be "removed" but cosmetic surgeons can make scars that are more aesthetically appealing, its a matter of exchanging one scar for a "better looking" one.

      The best pictures showing this process that I could find are of a five year old boy named Yousiff from Iraq. He was outside his home when masked men came, poured gasoline on him, and set his face on fire. CNN followed his story as he recieved treatment in the US and here are some before and after pictures of his injuries and surgeries. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/12/24/youssif.surgery/index.html?iref=newssearch#cnnSTCOther1

    im a 14 year old girl and i'm starting school in a little less than a week...and i want my face to be like acne free, glowing, really pretty. (if possible..lol) i wouldnt say that i have severe acne, but u know, every teen has to have SOME acne...
    so question number 1, is there like a really good facewash (natural recipe or store bought, but make it affordable...right no i use Clearasel 12 hr scrub) that takes care of acne really well? and is good for ur face?
    #2, is there any face mask out there that i can use once a week or something, to make my face acne free and just really glowy and stuff? again, it can be natural or from the store. **and about the natural thing, i've heard that egg whites are good for scarring, baking soda is good for cleaning, honey is good for acne removal, and lemon is good for something else...well my point is, there are like 10 different items you can put on ur face for different reasons, would i be able to mix everything together to make it multi-purpose? or is there a multi-purpose thing out there that i can use?
    #3... (sorry, im almost done i promise:) i have this mole on my face...its sooo ugly, its on my right cheek. how can i get rid of this, without any 0 creams, surgeries, or doctors help? i've heard if you put grapefruit juice on it and cover it with a band aid at night its supposed to fall off in a week? is that true? or how do i get rid of it, preferably fast but it really doesnt matter how quick i just wanna permanently remove it?

    thanks soo much for reading such a long question(s)...please try to answer them all best u can! :D

    • ANSWER:
      1. For my acne i use L'Oreal go 360 clean, and clean and clear spot treatment. Both of those work really well for me! Also if you have oily skin i would suggest exfoliating your face twice a week. I'm not super familiar with the brand you use, but i people have told me its worked.

      2. I know avocado masks are great, and also this store bought one. http://www.drugstore.com/qxp79218_333181_sespider/queen_helene/masque_mint_julep.htm
      It's made specifically to help acne and keep your face glowing(:

      3.Lots of things you can do to get rid of a mole. Apply a drop of grape fruit extract on the area 4-5 times in a day and put a baindaid over it. (Never use a regular grape fruit) Also applying tea tree oil to the area for 8-10 days is also an option. Applying fresh cut pineapple on the affected area a number of times in a day will get rid of a mole. That is supposed to be the best home remedy.

      4.To get rid of warts I would use a banana peel. Take the peel and make sure the slimy part is on your skin. Tape it on every night and replace the peel every 12-24 hours. Another one is dandelions! Pick a dandelion and pour the milky stuff inside the stem on your wart about 2 times a day!

      Hope I helped(:
