Advice On Getting Rid of Blackhead Scars

Everyone deals with acne and blackheads at some point in their lives, but every person is left with different types of scarring. Acne scarring must be addressed on a case-by-case basis and this list is by no means complete in how to get rid of blackhead scars. Removing scars is a complex process and multiple treatments are often required, but it sure beats having to apply makeup every day to hide the visible marks.

Natural Remedy

Crush an aspirin and mix it with a drop of water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the scar and leave it for ten minutes, then wash it off. This should remove the outer layer of damaged skin.

Next, soak a cotton ball in fresh lemon juice and apply to the same area. Leave the juice on for twenty minutes and this should lighten the dark marks on the nose.

Finally, put a small amount of Aloe Vera on the nose after cleaning the nose with warm water. Aloe Vera gel lightens scars and heals the skin.

Subcision

This is the process of treating scars left behind by acne. Subcision involves separating the affected skin tissue from the deeper scar tissue. This allows the skin to level itself out. Once completed, other treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels and microdermabrasion can be used to further smooth the skin. Subcision has garnered mostly favorable reviews from people who've had it done.

Be Careful

Be wary of home remedies that can potentially worsen your scar. It's your nose; a part of you that's seen very frequently. You don't want to accidentally cause severe damage. If you've tried everything within your budget and want to move on to more drastic measure, have patience and remember that scars fade with time.

Lastly, do your research. There are many old wives tales about acne, acne scarring and bogus remedies that can be harmful. If your mother says it's true because her mother says it's true, it's probably not true.

Collagen Injections

You are probably ready to get your acne scar removal now that your past those horrendous teenage years.  One way to remove the scarring is get collagen injections.  After the scarring is cleared out the collagen will fill the area of the scarring and prevent it from returning.  This also gives you great aesthetic side benefits, but these usually only last a few months and you'll have to have more injections to maintain the youthful look.  Make sure that you ask about the source of the collagen since some is made from cows and some people may have allergic reactions to this where their body rejects the foreign influence.  Also you just may have a personal problem with the use of animals for your appearance improvement.

Acne Scar Subcision

The cosmetic appearance of acne scars can be successfully improved using one or more of the many treatments which are available. Often these treatments can be quite expensive, however for people whose self-confidence has been adversely affected by the appearance of the scars, the financial cost can be worth it.

One of the techniques used to treat deep rolling scars is Subcutaneous Incision, more commonly known as Subcision. The treatment uses a micro-needle to separate the scarred areas of skin from the tissue beneath. Blood can then move to beneath the scar and the scar can rise.

In addition to rolling scars, other types of scar may be successfully treated using Subcision. Ice pick scars and pitted scars can be treated in this way. It may also be used in combination with other forms of acne scar treatment.

Many people have used, or heard of at the very least, miro-dermabrasion; this procedure is so common in fact that it has earned the nickname, the 'lunch hour' treatment. While this is true of micro-derm, it is not true of dermabrasion, which is the focus of this post. The difference between the two is that micro-derm is for very light scarring and dermabrasion is for very severe scarring. In addition to this, dermabrasion typically has a much longer healing time, and it has to be done in a doctor's office by a trained medical professional.
