    Laser Surgery For Scars

    I think you should ask your doctor if he has any success stories using laser on his patients. Ask if he has any before and after photos. Ask what kind of results you could expect after 6 treatments, be specific, like is it going to be 30%, 50%, 60% and so on. $2400 for 6 treatments is not cheap...

    when does your face stop being red from retin-a?

    Depending on your skin, it may be red every time you use it, even after first couple of weeks. You can try using it less frequently, or use a bland moisturizer to buffer it, or rinse it off after leaving it on the skin for only a short time.

    I think it's just for acne and it's less irritating than Retin A.

    after finishing accutane how long do i have to wait for a chemical peel

    I suggest you ask your doctor if you have one. You can also look up more info on the web. I don't think you have to wait 6 months for everything. Like I said before the lactic acid peel is very gentle and non-irritating and won't cause pigmentation or other side effects, provided you wear a...

    mild acne scarring?

    Speaking from experience non-surgical ways are possible to get rid of mild acne scarring (indentations). I had 5 pretty deep indents on my forehead - about 2mm and they are now almost invisible after I put Silkia camellia oil and Epidermx microdermabrasion cream on them. It didn't work fast and...

    to those that use camellia silkia oil

    I didn't really use a liberal amount. I just used 2 squirts at a time, every morning and night. But I also used the Epidermx at-home microdermabrasion cream along with the oil. Maybe you could consider using it also. It helps. My scars were majorly reduced after a little over a year.

    Yeah it's fine to take both at the same time. I do, and I have not noticed any bad effects on the skin.

    St. Ives apricot scrub -gentle

    It could be an initial breakout. You can try aspirin mask to help with those bumps. I didn't find the scrub that great either. A home microdermabrasion cream will do more for the skin.

    what kind of acne marks turn into scars

    Usually cystic acne leave behind pitted scars. Small pimples may just result in red marks, at least for me.

    soaps that contain natural oils, good or bad?

    I've heard almond oil is not good for acne and many people have problem with it. I would stay away from soaps with almond oil.

    pits

    How severe is severe? Do you know how deep your scars are? I'd rate severe scars to be 3 - 4 mm deep or more. A couple of microdermabrasion treatments definitely would not do anything if your scars are that deep. Dermabrasion would do more but it is very invasive and causes a lot of downtime...

    SCAR treatment

    Can you be more specific about the scars you have? Chemical peeling would only help flat, red marks or browish spots. It will not help if the scars are pitted. For pitted scars, the best treatment I've found is using a corabination of Silkia camellia oil and Epidermx microdermabrasion cream. I...

    question about glycolic peel

    Most people usually do the entire face, because it helps the entire skin tone, making it look brighter and clearer. It's possible you may have an initial breakout. You can just use it on the spots you want to get rid of and see how it goes. Use it on the whole face if there's no problem.

    I've heard the DDF Sulphur Mask is great for spot treating acne. Haven't used it myself. I'm happy with the much cheaper Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask.

    Aspirin mask causing dryness?

    Both aspirin mask and your gel cleanser can cause dryness. Try cutting back on their use and use a gentle moisturizer afterwarRAB.

    Facial Rash

    Aquaphor or Cortaid is good for healing rashes and itchy skin. But I'm not sure if they are safe for pregnancy. Check with your derm.
