- what to do when youhave giant acne scars from having reallysevere acne in the past, and also what to do with mild scars, too. now, i'm a big fan of videos that get to the point immediately and then get into the long talking part, so here are the treatmentsthat i have actually looked up and found people to have high reviews of that actually work for acne scars,
and here are the treatments from lightest to most severe of treatment, and i'm gonna get moreinto what each one is as we go into the video, but i'm just gonna list them right now, starting with dermabrasion brush, mechanical exfoliation, retin-a, chemical peelsfrom light to deep, micro dermabrasion,
laser treatments, dermapen, and augmentation and fillers, and that is the list. now, let's get intowhich ones are effective and which ones i have usedand which ones i suggest. now, we're gonna move fromthe light to the medium to the severe treatments that you can do for your acne scars, so these first two arereally for people with
very minimal scars,like almost non-visible. otherwise, if you have deep, box car, deep needle ice pick type scars, these aren't gonna help, but dermabrasion brush,which is kinda like that little spinning brush you'veprobably seen from clarisonic. i'm sure there are other ones, but it's just a spinningbrush of fiber-style bristles. it's not a metal or like a hard surface,
and it just spins, andit's supposed to remove the top layer of dead skin. these may or may not work. who really knows? for me, i had too severeof acne for this to work, so when i tried it, it wasn'tdoing anything for my scars. it wasn't doing anything for my acne. moving on to the othermost common light treatment for acne scars and acne in general
is mechanical exfoliation, so you've probably seen this before. i think st. ives has a brand of this. basically, like a pumice stone or, more commonly, it's like a wash or something that you use in the shower that has little tiny pieces of stone or something that's mechanicallyable to scrape your face as you use it.
that scraping is, again,purposefully trying to remove that top layer of dead skin, and once again, this didnot help me with my acne or with my scars after myacne had receded or gone away. now, moving on to the medium list, and everything fromthis point on to the end has pretty much been doneover and over and over and has been reviewed thousands of times by people with true acne scars
as things that have helped with theirs. i'm gonna get more into it, and i'll tell you guys about which ones i think are the best. speaking of one of the best, retin-a. i suggest this foranybody that can get this that has some seriousacne scars to deal with. this is just as simple asa topical ointment cream that you put on your face.
the only reason that it's difficult to get is because you have tohave a prescription from a dermatologist, a doctor, to get this, so you have to go in and say what's up to the guys to get it, but what this does isyou put it on your face, and it actually removesthe top layer of skin. it is vitamin a derivative, and it removes that top layer of skin.
it helps create newlayers of skin, i believe, and in that process, causes your skin to evenout the surface levels. that way, your scars don't look as bad. now, i have used retin-a so many times during my acne treatment itself, but especially after my acne treatment when i was trying to treat my scars. i saw a significant difference
in my rolling cheek scars, specifically. when it comes to like i had discoloration over here next to my ear. i had a lot deeper ones in certain areas. those didn't really gethelped much by that, but those rolling scars werereally helped by retin-a, so i suggest checking that out. chemical peels. now, i'm kinda on thefence with chemical peels.
i do know that they dowork for some people. but other people kinda havethis up and down experience where some people seenothing happen from it. some people see, or at least they say that they think that it is theholy grail of everything. now, chemical peels all vary in severity of the actual chemicalyou're using to peel that top layer of dead skin off. anything from aha, which iskind of the lighter treatment
that most people can use. i think you can evenjust buy it at the store, on amazon, no big deal, and then there's more intense ones. there's kind of a medium version of tca, and then there's a more potent version of the same treatment withlike a higher percentage of the tca, and that is thelike severe chemical peel. all chemical peels are going to cause you
to have a very irritatedface, very red face. depending on how severe it is, it's gonna stay withyou for multiple days. you're gonna have tostay out of the sunlight, et cetera, et cetera, things like that, and they have medium returns,like i was saying earlier. some people see great returns on this. some people don't, andthey can go from cheap to really expensive.
this one, i think you haveto do your own research on to see if you think it's worth it. micro dermabrasion, andthere's so much confusion when it comes to microdermabrasion and dermabrasion and like 30,000 otherderivatives of the same phrase, but micro dermabrasion is basically, it's kinda hard to explain, but basically, they have this tiny little vacuum and this little propulsion unit,
and it shoots finally groundcrystals into your skin, and the reason that this issupposed to be beneficial is it shoots them into yourskin, which causes damage, but all at the same level,because it's shooting them at the same pressure, and thenas it's shooting them down, another vacuum right beneathit is pulling them back up. so it's shooting them in, pulling them up, and then your face is just, you know, finely ground skin,
and it allows it to growback at a similar rate by stimulating collagengrowth, et cetera, et cetera, and the thought process is that it's all gonna be even afterwards. this one actually does havesome good success in it. now, a lot of people have said they've seen some goodsuccess in this one, but again, this is not one that is seen as like the holy grail perfect thing
for people with acne scars. now, we move on to the heavy, expensive, long term, lotsof side effect treatments. now, these are ones that are gonna yield thebiggest results, right? they're gonna be themost expensive, though, and they're gonna keepyou out of, you know, normal life for the longest,starting with laser. now, laser was what i was suggested,
and there are so manydifferent types of laser. there's co2, there's fraxel,there's like 45 other ones, so again, you do haveto do your own research on which type is gonna beright for your acne scar type, because your acne scartype plays a lot to do with what type of treatment you do, and also, what your doctor'sgonna think and suggest, because what i did is iwent to my dermatologist with the intention of laser,
and then he turned me on to dermapen, which is what we'll talk about, but laser shoots littlelasers into your skin, and there's a coupledifferent versions of this, and the idea is that thoselasers are at such a high, i don't think it's a frequency,it's a heat, i don't know. honestly, i'm not well-versed on this, but what it does is whenit shoots those lasers into your skin, it causes little pits,
but the pits are all at the same depth. all of these ideas are kind of the same, just with different mediums,different ways to perform it, and by causing those holesto be all the same depth, it stimulates that collagen growth and it'll all grow back relatively even. again, most of these treatments are not gonna work the first time. you're gonna have to dothem over and over and over
to help that evening outprocess get more even. now, moving on to dermapen,laser is very expensive compared to dermapen. a laser treatment was going to be about three times the cost that my dermapen treatment was gonna be, so i ended up doing threedermapen treatments. it was $350 each session. it should have been 500,
but because i'm a social media person, they gave it to me for 350, so a dermapen treatmentthat i was supposed to get was 500, and i did three, so it would have cost me 1,500. a laser treatment wasgonna cost me $2,000. now, the best way that ican explain a dermapen, and probably the simplestway that i can explain it is just a tattoo gun without ink.
obviously, things area little bit different. the gauge of the needle'sa little bit different, but that's the same kind idea. they're just going torub this little opening on a plastic pen all over your face, and in the middle ofthat little plastic pen are a few metal needles thatare shooting straight downwards into your skin, causingyou to have, again, little holes in your skinthat are all the same depth,
thus stimulating regrowthat the same rate. now, this should not be confused with, and a lot of people willcome up with this suggestion, dermapen shooting theseneedles in straight is not the same as a dermaroller. a roller has those same style needles that are supposed to penetrate your skin, but the problem is that a dermapen shoots in your skin andcomes right back out of it.
a dermaroller rolls into your skin, which causes an uneven scratch. this is what my dermatologist told me, causes an uneven scratch,because it hits the surface, pulls and scratches in, and then as it comes out of the skin, it is kind of scooping back out, so instead of making holesthat are straight up and down, it's actually makingscoops as it's rolling,
if that makes sense, so he said that'sactually not a good thing, to do the dermarolling, but the dermapen, in my opinion, is pretty decent if you have the money for it. now, something i didn't quite understand is that the dermapen actuallytakes up to nine months to start seeing results, so you aren't gonna be ableto kinda judge your results
in the first six monthsor anything like that. i think that's what i was doing. now, i have actually seenquite a big improvement in my actual scarring, but the thing that ithink kind of proved to me that dermapen does work in some respect is i had this very, very discolored spot next to my ear over here, and it used to be this dark purple,
very dark purple, kinda lookedlike a old blood blister, and now it has alleviatedcolor significantly, so i would say that dermapenis actually very effective if you don't have the money for it, then i would go with retin-a. if you have the money for both of them, then i would say do both of them. that's what was bestfor my type of scarring, and my scarring was probably about,
i would say, like a c plus or a b minus, if a plus was like the mostsevere type of acne scar. doing lots of talking in this video, but i really wanna kind ofexplain each type of treatment that you can do. i don't wanna leave youguys with a short video that has a catchy titlewithout actually leaving you with the information, so the last one i wanna talk to you guys about,
which is proven to work extremely well, but it's kinda severe, isaugmentations and fillers. basically, a lot of peoplewith ice pick deep scars, super deep scars, will have an augmentation happen and a filler that happens, wherethey take that hole, right? so your skin is right here,and then you have a hole and then you have skin, so they take your skinthat has a hole in it
and they fill underneath it with, i'm not exactly surewhat they fill it with, but that causes thathole to be less depressed by filling the space underneath it, which causes all of yourscars to start to pop up. the way that they do thissurgery is pretty severe. they actually stick aneedle into your skin and then they kindawiggle it around like this to release your skin from
the subcutaneous fat underneathit, and then they fill it. it looks pretty crazy, but people have seen prettygood results from it, so this is one that you'llhave to look into on your own, because i can't make thejudgment of whether this is too scary or severe for you. so, there it is, my friends. those are the treatmentsthat i think are effective. there are so many othertreatments you're gonna find.
there's a lot of different remedies, and i'm not saying thatthose ones are bad, but i'm saying that these are the ones that i have personally researched, and have seen like hundredsand thousands of people leaving reviews saying that they work. for me, personally, these arethe ones that worked for me, the dermapen and the retin-awere by far the best ones at all for me, so you shouldcheck out all of these.
i hope this video kind of lays some basic ground worksfor you on what you can do to help your acne scars get better, kinda empower you with some information so you don't feel so lost, 'cause that's definitely how i felt. i felt like i was just trying to figure everything out myself and nobody really had the answers for me,
so i hope that you can take this video, this information, hit google with it, kinda decide what you thinkis the best approach for you, and i really hope that thattreatment actually helps you, and i hope it helps get you to where you want to be with your skin. thanks for tuning in my friends. if you liked this, make sureyou give it a thumbs up. it seriously helps thechannel out so much.
