Vitamin E and vitamin C for scars are the two most used anti scars vitamins. There are many
controversial articles floating around the Internet about the efficacy of both,
the vitamin C as well as the vitamin E. Most, suggest to use the vitamins as
effective scar treatments. Some are sceptical about the scars rejuvenating effects of
vitamin C and the vitamin E. They say, that the scar tissue can only be removed with
a plastic or cosmetic surgery. Even the steroid injections are suggested as effective
scar treatment.
After reading the arguments of both parties for and against the use of the vitamins C and E
for scars, it becomes obvious that everyone seems to have enough knowledge and facts
to prove their point. Treating scars is a challenging and a long process, no matter
what every one says, unless the scar were removed with a laser. But if you choose the slower
and in my opinion, safe and the most effective way, than the scars treatment must become one of
the things of your daily regiment. The topical scar creams with vitamins needs to be applied daily.
There are two different forms of anti scar treatments with vitamins though. First and unfortunately
the most suggested one is the oral use of the vitamins E and the Vitamin C. Why unfortunately? Because
the vitamins, in large number, needs to do go through the digestive system, where they loose most
of its efficacy. Also, as i mention above, in order to achieve positive effects from using the vitamins
in scars treatment, the vitamins C and E must be taken orally for very long time and by way above FDA's suggested
daily norm. Which in fact, can create some digestive disorders, allergies and side effects.
In the past, i have written in this very blog about the possible and often irreversible side effects of the use
of laser and the steroid injections on scars. Every one knows and should be aware of it before choosing
these types of the scar treatments. There are ways to treat scars effectively though. The most effective
and safe in my opinion is the use the vitamins C and/or E in forms of a cream or jell if you will. When the
vitamins applied on to the scar tissue.
The scars, any scars: surgical scars, acne scars, scars after burns
does not become scars over night. It takes time for a wound to become a scar. Therefore, it is most important to
start anti scar therapy with topical use of vitamins C and E as soon as possible.
