I have had acne scars on my face since I was 16.
I have tried everything on the market including
chemical peels and dermabrasion. Non of these
have worked. I have been using Striaex Acne
Scar Ointment for the past 2 months and I have to say,
I am really happy. The appearance of deep
scarring and hyperpigmentation is improving.

Your product has made such a huge difference in my
life. I used to use cover-up to hide my deep
facial scarring, but after only 8 weeks of using Ace
Scar Ointment, I have stopped using cover-up. My
face looks much better.

Acne Scar Treatment
|

Striaex offers an
inexpensive treatment for improving the appearance of
post acne scars to that of expensive medical procedures
such as the ones below. Not only are medical
procedures expensive, but they can also be dangerous and
cause more damage to your skin than what you started
with. Doctors recommend trying all other options
before resorting to the following medical procedures.

Acne
Scar Treatment - Invasive Approaches.

A number of
treatments are available for acne scars through
dermatologic surgery. The type of treatment selected
should be the one that is best for you in terms of your
type of skin, the cost, what you want the treatment to
accomplish, and the possibility that some types of
treatment may result in more scarring if you are very
susceptible to scar formation.
Collagen injection
Collagen, a normal substance of the body, is injected
under the skin to "stretch" and "fill
out" certain types of superficial and deep soft
scars. Collagen treatment usually does not work as well
for ice-pick scars and keloids. Collagen derived from
cows or other non-human sources cannot be used in people
with autoimmune diseases. Human collagen or fascia is
helpful for those allergic to cow-derived collagen.
Cosmetic benefit from collagen injection usually lasts 3
to 6 months. Additional collagen injections to maintain
the cosmetic benefit are required.
Autologous fat
transfer
Fat is taken from
another site on your own body and prepared for injection
into your skin. The fat is injected beneath the surface
of the skin to elevate depressed scars. This method of
autologous (from your own body) fat transfer is usually
used to correct deep contour defects caused by scarring
from nodulocystic acne. Because the fat is reabsorbed
into the skin over a period of 6 to 18 months, the
procedure usually must be repeated. Longer lasting
results may be achieved with multiple fat-transfer
procedures.
Dermabrasion
This is thought to be
the most effective treatment for acne scars. Under local
anesthetic, a high-speed brush or fraise used to remove
surface skin and alter the contour of scars. Superficial
scars may be removed altogether, and deeper scars may be
reduced in depth. Dermabrasion does not work for all
kinds of scars; for example, it may make ice-pick scars
more noticeable if the scars are wider under the skin
than at the surface. In darker-skinned people,
dermabrasion may cause changes in pigmentation that
require additional treatment.
Microdermabrasion
This new technique is a surface form of dermabrasion.
Rather than a high-speed brush, microdermabrasion uses
aluminum oxide crystals passing through a vacuum tube to
remove surface skin. Only the very surface cells of the
skin are removed, so no additional wound is created.
Multiple procedures are often required but scars may not
be significantly improved.
Laser Treatment
Lasers of various wavelength and intensity may be used
to recontour scar tissue and reduce the redness of skin
around healed acne lesions. The type of laser used is
determined by the results that the laser treatment aims
to accomplish. Tissue may actually be removed with more
powerful instruments such as the carbon dioxide laser.
In some cases, a single treatment is all that will be
necessary to achieve permanent results. Because the skin
absorbs powerful bursts of energy from the laser, there
may be post-treatment redness for several months.
Skin Surgery
Some ice-pick scars may be removed by "punch"
excision of each individual scar. In this procedure each
scar is excised down to the layer of subcutaneous fat;
the resulting hole in the skin may be repaired with
sutures or with a small skin graft. Subcision is a
technique in which a surgical probe is used to lift the
scar tissue away from unscarred skin, thus elevating a
depressed scar.
Skin grafting
Skin grafting may be necessary under certain
conditions—for example, sometimes dermabrasion
unroofs massive and extensive tunnels (also called sinus
tracts) caused by inflammatory reaction to sebum and
bacteria in sebaceous follicles. Skin grafting may be
needed to close the defect of the unroofed sinus tracts.
Treatment of
keloids
Surgical removal is seldom if ever used to treat keloids.
A person whose skin has a tendency to form keloids from
acne damage may also form keloids in response to skin
surgery. Sometimes keloids are treated by injecting
steroid drugs into the skin around the keloid. Topical
retinoic acid may be applied directly on the keloid. In
some cases the best treatment for keloids in a highly
susceptible person is no treatment at all.
