Question 3

how can you remove pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

Deep scars may need to be untethered (subcision) or actually cut out (excised).

Question 4

what can i do to treat pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

Healing scars: When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow and bringing healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. As healing occurs, new tissues fill in that are different than normal and less elastic.  This is a scar.  Over time it will fade in color but always be there.

Yes: Over a period of months to years they will become less conspicuous, especially on the face. Future appearance depends on how deep they are & how dark.

Question 6

home remedies for curing pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

None effective: Scarring from acne reflects a probem deep in the skin, in the dermis. Topical creams  tend not to affect changes in the deep layer of skin. There are medically applied resurfacing treatments such as laser therapy and chemical peels that will lessen the scars. Nothing has been shown to totally remove the scars. Special make-up created to cover scars isaffordable and cosmetically appealing.

Question 7

how to remove pimples and pimple scars ?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: If two weeks on over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide doesn't clear you, get with your physician. You may be a rx for a topical retinoic acid derivative, the oral contraceptive pill (if you're female), topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline, or a dermatology referral for possible Isotretinoin / scar revision. Acne is not a hygiene or lifestyle problem. We can help.
