Acne Scar Treatments Review

Different therapeutic techniques are available for the treatment of acne scars. Virtually all scars can be optimally treated with the correct method, obtaining good results. However, severe acne scars are particularly difficult to treat and they can’t always be effectively corrected by one single treatment method.


Just to give you an idea, a laser skin resurfacing can cost from $4000 to $5000 or more!

Dermabrasion cost can vary from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the procedure you need.

Saline Injection:every injection costs $100. Generally, four or five injections and a rest period of 2 weeks every session may be needed before the skin goes back to normal.

Chemical peel price range is approximately $600 to $900. With deep chemical peels, there are also are the cost of anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and a possible hospital stay.

The cost of Obagi Face Peel can range from $400 to $700.

Fraxel Laser: depending on your condition and the areas to be treated, in the U.S. the cost ranges from $750 to $1,000 per treatment. Keep in mind that maximum benefit is usually achieved in 4 to 6 treatment sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart.

To ensure the best results for the surgery you are considering, choose an authentic plastic surgeon with the training and experience that is essential for the success of your surgery. The broader your surgeon’s experience, the greater your chances for a successful surgery.
It is very important that you feel totally comfortable and confident with your surgeon as he will be responsible for the final result of your surgery.

Scarfade Scar gel helps reduce the size and intensity of scars. Scarfade was one of the first silicone gel scar therapy products in the market.



It is applied to the scar after the skin has closed and is actively healing. Reduction in the size and intensity of the scar is typically observed within 2 weeks.

Scarfade works by causing a favorable shift in the production of growth factors (TGF, FGF) involved in the regeneration of skin. This shift reduces the over secretion of collagen. Scarfade theoretically regulates the growth factors that cause the excessive scars.

Scars actively heal for about two years. During this period, the fibroblasts cover the damaged area and form collagen wich generate scar tissue.
Consequently Scarfade is only effective during this two year active period.

Scarfade should be used for 12-16 weeks and applied twice a day, morning and evening.

I have been using Scar gel for almost one week 4x/day.My skin is beginning to heal and any pimples that occur(which I don’t touch by the way),have been healing in a few days.
The pimples on my nose(I have large pores),are healing for the first time in my life(nothing else worked).My skin glows and this product makes my skin tighter.Read about each ingredient and you will know that this product is the best,by far,than any for acne scars and any new acne that appears.It is half the price of Mederma as well.

What is Zenmed for Acne Scars?

It’s a kit including 2 products:

1) Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex: a granular clay mineral formulation to provide intensive dermabrasion on the surface of the skin.

This formula affords an immediate skin-smoothing effect and with regular, daily use, helps to visibly minimize discolorations and small marks on face.

The most common complaint about microdermabrasion creams, though, is that they cause adverse reactions like irritations or breakouts. Often, this is because the micro dermabrasion cream uses chemicals and irritants which don’t suit a freshly peeled skin. Zenmed Dermabrasion formulation contains only natural ingredients, is very gentle and highly effective for treating scarring on even the most sensitive of skin types.

After MicroDermabrasion Complex, apply sparingly to affected areas, rubbing in until fully absorbed.

This product should be used in the evening and the use of sunscreen is highly recommended. Sun exposure should be minimized.

2) Skin Eraser: It is an Ascorbic-Glycolic-Lactic acid product that effectively exfoliates the upper layers of the skin helping minimize imperfections, dullness, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, bumpiness and fine lines and wrinkles. Esthetician-grade 30% Glycolic Acid, pH 3.5.

These natural acids are also known as Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). They are naturally occurring acids, derived from sugars in particular plants or in milk. Some examples are Glycolic Acid (Sugar Cane), Lactic Acid (Milk), Tartaric Acid (Grapes), Citric Acid (Citrus Fruits), Malic Acid (Apples), and Mandelic Acid (Bitter Almonds). These acids work at the very base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the cement that holds dead skin cells together. This allows for an increase in cell turnover and influences the structure of new stratum corneum being made. The skin Eraser used a gentle lightening process that will not bleach or damage your skin.

My experience: Don’t expect it to completely remove your scars. Whether or not $60-70 for this product is worth it depends on how horrible your scars are, how much it bothers you and how much disposable income you have. For me, it was worth it.
