**technomarine_888** · 10-11-2006, 03:27 AM

I've suffering from these since 2001,.. Whats the possible way to get rid of these....

**Ejuicer** · 10-11-2006, 06:39 AM

Microdermabrasion works well.

Mederma. Great product for acne scars. and alot cheaper than microdebrasion

**technomarine_888** · 10-13-2006, 03:25 AM

how about peelings? TCA, Glycolic peeling and the new Olay Serum + Total Effects???......

I've tried microdermabrasion It feels great after a series of completed program (like for example 6 sessions) and still after a month or two the previous state of your facial scars and pores returns.

Fraxel is it really a miracle or a hoax?

Whats the fact about cetaphil and baking soda?

**Mizfit** · 10-13-2006, 05:17 AM

chemical peels and laser r the most effectiv emethods but expesive

You have to use it more then 6 sessions. After a good 20 or so you see phenomenal results.

lol @ SVT Muscle... I think microdermabrasion adds to scarring IMO only.. EJusicer have you gone through a series of microdermabrasion? If so, what are the interval days? (e.g 2 weeks after or a week after?)

**technomarine_888** · 10-13-2006, 07:42 PM

Hi Mizfit... what kind of chemical peels are directed to large pores and acne scars i've been going through a 2week intervals of glycolic peel and so far there are no major improvements...

What chemical peeling ingredient u suggest is the most potent?

And on laser peeling... what kind of laser peeling treatment u suggest that reaches an optimum to confront acne scars and large pores?

Twice every week to week and a half. I had scarring on my forehead and above my left eye from plastic surgery from a car accident 6 years ago. It wasn't that bad before but pretty much nobody believes me anymore when I tell them what happened now. I personally think that it's a very effective form of treatment. I'd like to get it done on my back for some mild acne scarring.

As far as $$$ goes, date an esthetician and then the cost isn't very much at all. Only about $20 a session.

**Slowhand** · 10-14-2006, 08:23 PM

mederma? i've heard nothing about bad reviews on it from acne sufferers.... a lot of people recommend aloe vera gel though. and vit E

A session is a single 30min or so period.

**animator** · 10-17-2006, 09:56 PM

I have the same problem. I spoke with my dermatologist who said stay away from the strong peels. It sometimes bleaches your face and leaves a line where the acid ended.

**technomarine_888** · 10-17-2006, 11:15 PM

Like what kind of strong peels? I consider microdermabrasion as a form of a very strong peel and chemical wise is glycopeeling? TCA peel? can also be categorized as a strong peel???...

**Compound** · 10-19-2006, 08:03 AM

Im currently useing a combination of minomycin tabs and Cetaphil plus clindamycin lotion 1%. You start taking the tabs about 6 weeks before you get on the course. This works well for me and many other's that i know,

Im using minocyclin right now myself (low dose) and use spectra gel to wash my face.

It has made a difference. Unfortunately ican not use topical acne medicines as my skin get's irriated and makes things worse.

Stress lately has cause me to get a few blemishes

Netrogena makes a non chemical peel you can do at home and also has a home versionof the derma brasion.

**technomarine_888** · 10-23-2006, 03:05 AM

anything new?..

**Mizfit** · 10-23-2006, 11:33 AM

Try at home demrmabrasion if you do not have the $$ to do it at a salon or derma

**technomarine_888** · 10-24-2006, 08:43 PM

**Mizfit** · 10-25-2006, 11:18 AM

**technomarine_888** · 10-26-2006, 12:57 AM

ohhh too bad.... hey misfit can u post ure regimen?... any regimen u would suggest for acne scars and large pores?..

**Mizfit** · 10-26-2006, 08:01 AM

Well you can't pick your face thats for sure

I wash my face daily with spectra gel, not soap.

I use a netrogena dermabrasion system at home 2 times a week and also just recently purchased an at home chemical peel.

I moisturize with a non clog poring moisturizer - during the day and night as well.

I don't really have seere acne scars though

**HRTC** · 11-15-2006, 11:24 AM

Has anyone had a laser treatment on there back/face for acne scaring?

**HRTC** · 11-22-2006, 06:52 AM

Bump

**Air Walker** · 11-22-2006, 09:48 AM

A good product is Proactive.

**firmechicano831** · 11-25-2006, 11:06 PM

I need something for large pores too.

not if u use it correctly

**Flagg** · 11-26-2006, 07:17 AM

I had a spot once.

**Z12** · 11-28-2006, 07:12 PM

I recently had laser treatment on my face. Just for non-serious scars from old acne. I only had one treatment, your supposed to have a few in a row. It hurt like hell and i didnt notice much of a difference - maybe a little difference for the better ($300). I think the laser is best for broken blood vessels in your face if you've got that. I might do it again soon - can't decide if it really helped.

**Z12** · 11-28-2006, 07:14 PM

Salicylic acid is supposed to be good for large poors - just regular stuff from neutrogena or whatever.

**technomarine_888** · 12-29-2006, 01:24 AM

Been using salicylic acid from neutrogena's pore refining cleanser dubbed AHA and BHA (Salicylic and Glycolic acid) haven't seen any improvements i even combine it with salicyclic acid toner...
