When the "war" against acne is behind, victory does not bring joy, because often they leave behind scars that spoil the appearance. And if the pimple was perceived as a temporary factor, the scar left after it remains forever, if nothing is done against it.
To smooth the skin, you must use all available means. Unfortunately, one method does not always help, by analogy of the treatment of illnesses, when one medication is much weaker than their complex. Therefore, it is very important to develop a treatment regimen, and properly implement all the items - from quality hygiene, to measures in the form of special means.
How to get rid of scars after acne?
Treatment of scarring after acne can take several years. It is very important to act immediately, and not to allow the emergence of new inflammations that will force you to start treatment again.
To get rid of scars, you need, in the first place, to monitor the hygiene of the face. To do this, apply all the items:
- Cleansing.
- Toning.
- Humidification.
Also, use masks at least once a week - cleansing and nourishing. They will support the timely renewal of cells, and this will not only reduce the risk of inflammation, but also improve the general condition of the skin - wrinkles are smoothed, the color will improve, the pores will be cleaned, and the scars will gradually flatten.
But these funds, of course, are not enough for 100% getting rid of scars.
Cream for scars after acne
To reduce scarring, the easiest method is to use a cream or ointment.
For example, Scarguard is a liquid cream that contains vitamin E, hydrocortisone and silicone. After application, the cream creates a transparent film that promotes healing and renewal of the skin, as well as its protection. The cream works on the principle of tightening the skin. It should be used 2 times a day, applying to the cleansed face.
Vitamin E promotes nutrition, moisturizing and renewal of cells, and silicone aligns scars.
Ointment from scars after acne
Kontraktubeks is a remedy for scars after acne, which consists of an extract of onions, sodium heparin and allantoin. Thus, the ointment has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, removes redness and dark spots after acne, has an anti-allergic property and dissolves the upper stratum corneum, which forms the scar. The agent accelerates the regeneration processes in the skin and increases the ability of tissues to retain moisture.
Some believe that this is an ineffective tool, but the fact is that its effectiveness is enhanced in combination with ultrasound procedures. That is why, probably, the effectiveness of the tool has become in doubt.
Before you remove the scars after acne with this ointment, you need to get the doctor's approval and specify the duration of its application.
Masks from scars after acne
First of all, to get rid of scars, scrubs and nourishing masks are needed. Nourishing and moisturizing mask (with various essential oils, as well as vegetable - olive, castor) will help soften the skin. Optimum use of white or pink clay with oil in a 1: 2 ratio. The action of the mask should not exceed 20 minutes.
But also it is necessary to use scrubs. It is advisable to use cosmetic, ready-made products with hard particles, because folk scrubs are at least effective, but they do not guarantee that bacteria contained in products (for example, salt or ground coffee) do not penetrate the skin and cause inflammation. It is very important not to use a scrub if there are inflamed patches.
Laser scar removal after acne
Laser resurfacing of scars is considered the most effective - it is necessary to perform several procedures, after which there will be a deep skin renewal. This is a painful process, and therefore not suitable for everyone.
