For Acne Scars, There Are Alternatives to Laser Surgery and Chemical Peels

So many of us struggle with acne and once we finally get it under control, some of us are unfortunate enough to have the unsightly remainders of scarring left behind by acne. Acne scars can come in all different shapes, sizes and colors in addition to being pretty difficult to reduce. There are procedures like CO2 Laser Surgery and Chemical Peels which are particularly effective but at a price more than just the cost. Chemical peels run around $700 and are basically a chemical mask that burns away at the top layer of skin causing it to be peeled away thereby causing new skin to grow, effectively removing acne scars. The problem is that you're using chemicals to burn your skin away. I guess that's my biggest issue with chemical peels, not to mention that there's about week's worth of recovery time accompanied with painful sores, dryness, irritation, inflammation, flaking, tenderness, and sensitivity. Laser surgery is no better as it uses a high powered laser to bore tiny holes in the skin causing a microscopic "wound" in the skin stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells therefore reducing acne scars. Laser surgery can run anywhere from $1000-$5000 with side effects the same as chemical peels but with about ten days to two weeks of recovery time. With both of these procedures staying out of the sun is absolutely imperative as exposure to the sun after can result in hypo pigmentation a condition in which the skin no longer tans.

So when it comes to naturally removing scars there are several routes you can take. There are numerous home remedies and organic mixtures that have been passed down through generations that are all over the Internet. Time honored home remedies aren't the only way to go as many skin care companies have decided to take a more eco and skin friendly approach to treating everything from acne scars to wrinkles.

The best scar removal creams for acne are those made with all natural ingredients that not only stimulate the production of healthy skin cells but those that also soothe and calm the skin, healing scars and lessening breakouts at the same time as well as diminishing discoloration. Scar creams made with Collaxyl are especially effective as Collaxyl is an all natural peptide based compound that effectively bridges the gap between scars caused by acne. It acts as a messenger that starts to send signals to the dead skin that makes up a lession to begin healing itself. This is obviously a much better option than having chemicals or lasers burning your face. Although an acne scar cream takes more time to remove acne scars, it is a much cheaper, safer, painless and less time consuming task. The key is to be patient, if you rush and get surgery because you want instant results, look at the side effects, maybe that'll buy your skin a little more time. With an acne cream designed to remove acne scars you can't go wrong.

Search all natural skin care forums and websites and see if you can find any all natural acne scar home remedies that are made with ingredients that you probably have in your very own kitchen. Things like tomato juice, lemon juice, rosewater, sandalwood, honey and olive oil are just some of the more common ingredients that can be mixed together into a paste and used as an all natural mask. Theses all natural ingredients contain essential nutrients, antioxidants, and healing properties that remove acne scars over time as well as nourishing the skin, soothing irritation. Making minor tweaks to your daily routine such as drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins that could otherwise irritate skin and wearing a sun screen with an SPF of 40 or higher whenever you're out in the sun for a prolonged period of time can aid in the removal of acne scars by maximizing the results of an acne scar removal remedy.

Avoiding any sort of chemical peel or surgical procedure is probably the best move you can make in the fight against removing acne scars. The best things in life have a tendency to come from nature and an all natural acne scar fading cream or home remedy is no different. Talk to friends and family or a dermatologist to see if they can recommend any all natural methods for removing acne scars.
