Acne Scar Removal Treatments

Having acne scars is terrible, after suffering all the acne phase, now you have to deal with those scars, and for many people these are scars that stay for a lifetime unless proper treatment is acquired. There are many products for acne scars and treatments, and one that has not been fully explored is the use of acne scar removal gels.

If you currently are suffering from acne, let me give you this advice: don’t pick on your pimples! Pimple-picking is one of the most common causes in the development of permanent acne scars. I know desperation can often lead to picking, but it is the worst thing you can do with acne.

We have been researching for some of the companies offering acne scar removal gels, and here is what we have found:

Kelo-cote Advanced Formula Gel. Kelo cote is not marketed directly as a product specifically for “acne scars” but for many different types of scars. Its action is directed at raised scars with redness. The formula helps flattening raised tissue and gives the skin a flat surface. This gel can also be used to prevent the formation of acne scars. Ingredients in this gel include bio-inert and bio-silicone compound products, it should not be used on active acne and broken skin.

Mederma Skin Care for Scars. Acording to the product description, Mederma’s gel helps against old and new scars resulting from acne, injury burns, surgery and stretch marks; also it smoothes the skins making it look healthy and soft. This product seems to work great on new acne scars, some people claim new scars are completely gone after using the gel religiously for approximately 2 months. Its action, however is not as good in older scars and this is where the product might under-deliver.

BioskinClear. This is yet another brand of acne scar removal gel , this one you can buy directly from the Internet. It helps with acne scar removal by “digesting damaged tissue with biological enzymes and release their amino acid components.” This means that dead cells will be eliminated, eliminating in the way the redness of the scars. This gel also promotes fibroblast synthesis and the production of natural antimicrobial peptides.

Aloe Vera gels are also used by people suffering from acne scars, but rather than being a product used as an acne scar removal treatment, these aloe vera gels will act as an immune booster and an anti-inflammatory agent.
