Skin imperfection such as scars most often occure in severe acne cases.
One of the well known methods to improve this skin imperfection is the
Laser Acne Scar Removal. Some people use different methods though. All of the
available acne scar removals can be effective if chosen on time.
You see, scars do not become scars over night. It takes time from 6 to 12
month for the acne scars to complete its formation. After that, the scar
is fully formed, therefore it must be treated differently then the "young" scars.
So, choosing the right method of skin improvement will help to achieve best
results in treatment of this skin imperfection.
The Laser Acne Scar Removal, even though it is very costly and may have some side effects
is the most used method for removal of old (completely formed) scars. The main reason
why some people choose this method of surgical scar removal is because the results
are obvious almost right away. It is not guaranteed the complete scar removal though as
it only removes thin layers of the skin. You may still have some skin imperfection left depending on the scar types you have.
The Vitamin C and vitamin E are used as skin improvement option as well. These two
essential vitamins, if used as suggested may save you from going for the
surgical scar removals. There are two ways of how the vitamins can be used for scar
treatment. It can be used orally and go through the digestive system. It also can be used
in form of a topical cream. Early stages of scar formation are best treated with topical
use of vitamin C. Start treating acne scars as soon as possible with vitamins will prevent
their formation.
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.
Acne scarring happens in most, if not all severe acne cases such as
cysts and nodules. Scarring may even occur in mild acne such as papules and
pustules. There are many scar treatments available from applying
anti scar medication right on the skin where the scar is to more complicated
surgical or Laser scar removal - Microdermabrasion.
It was said over and over again that the best way to get rid of scars
is to avoid their appearance or prevent the scar formation by following daily
regiment. One of the main things in scar treatment is use of effective
acne medication which will stop acne from progressing into severe cases
such as cysts and nodules.
Well said, when it comes to acne scars. But, what happens when it is impossible
to avoid unavoidable. I am talking about the surgical scars, animal bites or
scars left after burns and chickenpox or varicella ? It depends, even though the completely formed
scars in general don't cause physical problems they may create some emotional
disturbance. Therefore, some people start looking for effective ways to get rid
of scars right away, some will just let it go and continue their life as nothing
happens.
If you are from the first group, then in order to achieve fast and positive results
the scar treatment must start right away. Having a surgery for instance will, in many
cases leave a scar. Therefore, it is recommended to start applying effective topical
scar care cream right after the surgery is complete. There are few anti scar,
over-the-counter, topical creams available. Look for once with Vitamin E and Vitamin C
in their ingredients. Recent study shows that Vitamin E and vitamin C are the most
effective for scar treatment.
