What Is The Best Scar Treatment – For Hard To Remove Scars – Acne Scars, Keloid Scars And Stretchmarks?

For most  types of skin complaint; there are generally many options of varying efficiency.
However, the problems of scarring and hyper-pigmentation appear to have far fewer treatment options and reports of their effectiveness are less than impressive.

For certain types of scarring. e.g, keloid and pitted acne scars; it is very difficult to find any positive reports at all for their effective treatment.

I have seen some good reviews for the product Bio-oil for the treatment of scars, particularly on the website; Ciao.
This is a product which has been around for a while, but even with this product; there are a significant number of disappointed customer reviews, some who have found the product totally ineffective, especially with regard to the treatment of keloid scars, pitted acne scars and pigmentation.

There are several other topical treatment options which are being marketed for the treatment of scars; such as Rosehip Seed oil, copper peptides, Mederma, Elicina; as well as other treatments, such as laser, dermabrasion and chemical peels.

Although there are some positive reports to be found for some people with these treatments; generally, this is far from consistent, with a significant proportion complaining of the ineffectiveness and slowness of action of these products for the treatment of their scars.

Also; I have not seen much photographic evidence for most of these products effects on scars, which is the clearest way to compare a products effectiveness.

It appears to be the case that the positive reports for these products are coming from those people whose scars are only  minor, while those with more severe problems or with particular problems; such as pitted acne scars, severe stretch marks, keloid scars, hyper-pigmentation  and age spots may account for the many frustrated and disappointed reviews I have read.

I have found this to be the case for my own particular hyper-pigmentation problem, which I  have had for years now.

Despite having tried several treatments, including Rosehip Seed oil and copper peptides, it is still very much a problem and refuses to budge!

Hope!

I first came to the attention of an intriguing substance being reported as an effective treatment for scars and pigmentation, whilst researching the new product Skinderma Pro.

Skinderma Pro’s website offers very impressive photographic evidence of results on scars, most excitingly, even for the most resistant types of scarring, e.g keloid scars, pitted acne scars and stretchmarks.

I examined the ingredients and the scientific references supporting the effectiveness of the ingredients in the product.

I found that there are a several ingredients in the product, which have been shown in studies to have beneficial effects for aging skin and for scarring.

Two of these ingredients are rosehip seed oil and pomegranate oil. Although these oils  have been shown to be very effective for improving signs of aging in the skin and to have some benefits for scarring; the evidence of consumer review sites and from skin care forums, is that the benefits of these products for scarring are limited.

The unique element in Skinderma Pro; which would account for the outstanding results seen on the Skinderma Pro website, is a relatively unheard of substance, called Tamanu oil.

Having read the scientific reference for this ingredient, given on the Skinderma Pro website and finding it impressive; I decided to see if this could be backed up by consumer’s reports of usage on independent review sites and forums.

There was not a great deal to be found, due to its relative obscurity. However; the feedback that I did find was resoundingly positive.
I was unable to find any negative feedback at all, which as I have already mentioned is quite unusual, especially with regard to keloid and pitted acne scars and pigmentation  treatments.

I would go so far as to say that consumers are ‘raving’ about its effectiveness and speed of action in removing and reducing scars and pigmentation problems which have hither-to proved resistant to all previous forms of treatment, such as;  microdermabrasion, laser treatment, glycolic peels, Mederma, Bio-oil, Elicina, Copper Peptides  etc.

To read what consumers are saying about Tamanu Oil; here are a few links and quotes taken from independent review and forum sites;

Tamanu User Reviews (on health forum)

Tamanu User Reviews (on a Tamanu Oil product site)

“I have been a user of the Tamanu oil for the past 5 years. I discovered the product after moving to live in Vanuatu in 2002. The product has excellent skin repair quality and through daily use of the product on pigmentation blotch on my temple this has completely gone and I also treated a small wart on my knee which also disappeared within 3 months. I continue to use the product on the back of my hands which tend to dry out through extended exposure to the harsh Vanuatu sun whilst playing golf.”

Bryan Death, General Manager Moorings Hotel, Vanuatu

“I am Tamanu Oil’s greatest fan. Having reached the age of 50 (okay, so maybe I’m a little older), I found that I was beginning to have some age spots appear on the back of my hands. I think this was due to spending too much time in a bikini when I was younger. Whatever the reason, I didn’t like it. After using straight Tamanu Oil, I don’t have one single age spot on either hand! I now use Tamanu Oil all the time. It is the greatest skin care secret of all time and but for moving to live in Vanuatu, I wouldn’t even have learnt that such a miraculous natural product existed.”

Pamela Reynolds, CEO PR’s Management Consulting & Financial Services Vanuatu Ph: (678) 58381 or (678) 51405

Anibanani – 06-07-2005 –  07:36 PM (on healthboards.com) – listing treatments she has tried;

“dermanew microdermabrasion- minimal sucess
slikia camelia oil- total bs made me break out and did nothing for the scars
retin a- did nothing but thin out my skin and made me sensitive to every element of the weather(took me years to get my skin back to normal)
mederma-made me itch like crazy, did nothing for my scars
in office microdermabrasion- lil to no results
tamanu oil-in seven months my scars are 95% smoothed out, not to mention I have practically no acne thanks to this and also good diet, really good stuff I highly reccomend it “  And one last review from the essentialdayspa forum, posted on a topic about scar treatments; “I hate to get all melodramatic here and start saying i’ve found my holy grail but i’m just loving tamanu oil!!!

Okay, let’s get away from the fact that it stinks and isn’t pleasant at all! it’s also quite viscous and yellowy. I can put up with that in miracle products!!

However, i’m hesitant to get all happy happy and proclaim miracles because i have only used it THREE TIMES. but, i’m noticing a difference already! Wow!!!! I’m just praying i don’t have an OCM purge type moment with it being oil.

Along with my many many other red marks, i’ve had an acne mark on my cheek for a year now, which i affectionally call my norway scar. It was a spot which developed on my holiday to norway last March – bang smack in the middle of my cheek – and ruined my holiday. Well, not ruined it, but you girls know what i mean!

Despite being so patient and not squeezing it, as i am apt to do, it still scarred and has been very noticeable being in the middle of my cheek. it’s never gone, albeit it has faded.

Now!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, it’s barely there!!!! I really can’t believe it after only three times! I keep looking in the mirror thinking maybe i’m looking in the wrong place!

My newer, more redder scarring hasn’t shown quite this remarkable improvement but i expect that will take a bit longer. But, I’m really really pleased! I just pray i don’t start breaking out again as i’m just starting to get my last OCM purge until control! Infact, that’s where all the scarring has come from!

So, i think i’ve cracked the best thing for my acne scarring – using tumeric (in either ready made cream or using it DIY style) to fade the spots, together with a good exfoliant once a week to clear the top layer of dead skin then tamanu oil at night. I feel more positive about being able to clear my skin again than i have done for ages! “

Outstanding results can be seen in ‘Before and After’ photographs, which claim to be from users  of the product ’Skinderma Pro’, at the Skinderma Pro website, and can be seen as further evidence of Tamanu oil’s powerful effects on all types of scars, as such dramatic results have not been reported or documented  by users of  the other ingredients in the product, despite their being present in the marketplace for several years now.

These outstandingly positive consumer reviews have persuaded me that this substance definitely deserved further investigation. The following is a summary of what I found out from the existing literature:

Tamanu Oil Background

Apparently, the indigenous Melanesians and Polynesians have been aware of the regenerative and curative properties of Tamanu Oil for centuries.
The natives regard it as one of nature’s sacred gifts – being  sometimes referred to as the Sacred Oil Of Tamanu or Green Gold!

Scientific Evidence

While there have been a number of scientific studies on Tamanu Oil, the research has been limited, due largely to the product not being well known outside Pacific Island countries such as Vanuatu and Tahiti

However, this does not put it behind most of the ‘high tech’ cosmetic ingredients to be found in top brand expensive cosmetic creams, which rarely have scientific studies to support their claims.

BioScience Laboratories conducted a study of Tamanu oil’s ability to improve the appearance of scars.
Six subjects with obvious scars aged for one year or more participated in the test. Subjects were not allowed to use moisturizers on their scarred areas for seven days before the test or throughout the nine-week test period.
Scars were rated for roughness, length, width and degree of difference from surrounding normal skin. Measurements of darkness and redness were also taken for scarred and surrounding normal skin. Digital photos of scars were taken prior to initial application and at the end of week nine.

Tamanu oil was applied to the scarred area twice daily for nine consecutive weeks.
There was significant improvement in appearance of scars after six weeks, and improvement continued through week nine.
Scar length was reduced by an average 0.28 centimeters, and width was reduced by an average 0.12 centimeters.

Source: Dweck, A.C.: Calophyllum inophyllum – Tamanu oil the African, Asian, Polynesian and Pacific Panacea. International Journal of Cosmetic Science 24, 6, 1-8 (2002).

This study only lasted 9 weeks, only a couple of months, and these results are quite a significant improvement, when you compare it to the agonisingly slow progress often experienced with other scar treatments.

Healing benefits of Tamanu Oil

Scientific studies show that Tamanu Oil is a significant healing agent because of its ability to produce new skin tissue and because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-neuralgic, antibiotic and antioxidant properties.

While Tamanu Oil can be used effectively to treat a range of infections including ring worm, athlete’s foot, itching and dermaphytosis of the scalp or beard (due to the presence of Friedelin) and infected wounds and burns (due to the anti-bacterial presence of Canophyllol and the antibiotic presence of lactone), it is its cicatrizing capacity that sets it apart.
Cicatrization is the process involved in the formation of new tissue.
Consequently, Tamanu Oil is amazingly effective for the treatment of everything from;

acne
acne scars
scarring generally
stretch marks
diabetic sores
psoriasis
sunburn
blisters
abrasions
burns
cuts
eczema
herpes sores,
insect bites and stings,
fissures,
dry or scaly skin and
MOST IMPORTANTLY – the reduction or COMPLETE REMOVAL of unsightly age spots and hyperpigmentation.

The natural anti-inflammatory qualities of the oil also produce significant pain-relieving properties – this is especially so when it comes to conditions such as neuralgia, sciatica, shingles and rheumatism.

It is this anti-inflammatory quality that is primarily responsible for the reduction of general swelling, rashes, sores, and abrasions.

The combination of the oil’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities can be particularly beneficial in the case of pulled muscles, ligament damage and sprains.

Tamanu Oil can be applied to the surface of the skin to promote healthy, blemish-free skin. Many Ni Vanuatu women apply use it on babies to prevent nappy rash.

It may be applied to treat a variety of skin irritations, including those caused by warts, allergies or skin ulcers.

Some of the other skin care benefits of this tropical first aid remedy include the treatment of dermatitis, chemical burns, skin grafts, post surgical wounds, vaginitis, chilblains

The Cancer Chemopreventative Agents

In a search for anti-tumor-promoting agents, a Japanese study found that one of the components of tamanu oil exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on mouse skin tumor promotion.
Source: Cancer Letters, Volume 169, Issue 1, Pages 15-19 M. Itoigawa

While these tests were conducted on rats, the scientific findings strongly suggest that Tamanu Oil could well operate as an anti-cancer promoter in humans as well.

Anti-Aging Qualities Of Tamanu Oil

Given Tamanu Oil’s unique ability to promote the growth of new, healthy skin tissue, the benefits of using natural Tamanu Oil-based products are obvious.

Although I was unable to find any scientific studies on the effects of Tamanu oil for aging skin; I would guess that it will prove as effective, if not more so, than most of the cosmetic ingredients being used in the ‘high tech’ cosmetic offerings currently to be found in the market place.

Wrinkles are caused by changes in the lower layer of the skin, the dermis, which result in reduced production and repair of damaged skin components (elastin, collagen and Hyalonuric acid).
However, according to Leslie Baumann, a world-renowned dermatologist; most skin care ingredients can’t penetrate that far into the dermis to affect wrinkles.

Baumann asserts that there are only a limited number of cosmetic ingredients which have been proven to be able to penetrate all three skin layers and therefore stimulate the regeneration of new skin tissue.
She cites vitamin C, copper peptides and retinoids as having this unique ability.

Most cosmetic ingredients temporarily mask the wrinkle by temporarily ‘plumping’ the skin, rather then ‘treating’ the cause of the wrinkle at the dermis level.

However, Tamanu oil has also been proven to have this unique ability to penetrate all three layers of the skin ; thus putting it in this exclusive category of effective skin tissue regenerating  ingredients.

The superior scar treating effects reported by users may indicate that its regenerating  abilities are superior even to those substances cited by Baumann and Tamanu Oil may therefore be similarly superior in its anti-aging abilities.

Unfortunately, due to its newness to the market; a lack of reports, reviews and studies means that there is little evidence to really compare it to other products for its anti-aging abilities at present, apart from to say that the anecdotal evidence is stronger for its success with age spots and pigmentation than the anecdotal evidence of most treatments that I have read.

In order to gain greater clarity on the extent of the strengths and limitations of Tamanu oil; I invite users to leave their reviews, feedback and progress with use of the product with regard to its anti-aging and scar reducing benefits on the BBT forum.

You are also invited to leave overall ratings of the product; though this is best given after several months of use, to get a more complete picture of its effects.

How Tamanu Oil is Produced

The Tamanu tree only bears fruit once a year and the fruit itself is inedible. However, inside the fruit is a pale-coloured nut kernel. When this nut kernel is dried (which takes 1-2 months), it turns a deep, chocolate brown and releases a sticky, rich oil.

The oil is then extracted by cold-pressing and filtration. It takes an awful lot of nuts to produce a small quantity of oil – in fact, it takes around four trees to produce approximately 20 Liters of “pure” Tamanu Oil, depending on the size and yield of the trees!

How to Use Tamanu Oil

Tamanu Oil should be applied topically. That is to say, it should be applied directly to the surface area of the affected skin, not ingested.

Once applied, massage in. The oil will absorb readily into the skin, without leaving any oily residue.

The real trick to using Tamanu Oil, especially when it comes to removing age spots, is to only use 100% pure Tamanu Oil.

While it can safely be mixed with other oils such as Olive Oil, all this really achieves is a higher profit margin for the seller or manufacturer and a less effective treatment for the consumer.

The other trick to achieving effective and rapid results is the frequency with which you apply the oil.

Initially, it’s a good idea to apply the oil 4, 5 or more times a day and then cut back as the problem begins to heal.

If you are applying the oil to a large area then the frequency should be 2-3 times a day. It can have a drying effect on the skin when applied to a large area. If the area does start to become “scaly”, don’t be alarmed – it means the oil is doing its job. Ease off on the application or even stop for a few days.
Apply some pure 100% Virgin Coconut Oil to ease the drying effect and then re-commence the application of Tamanu Oil, if necessary.

Availability
Having perused the literature and read the positive responses from Tamanu oil users given on independent review and forum sites; I feel confident that this is indeed a very exciting breakthrough ingredient for the treatment of scars and pigmentation problems and could well be the best treatment for scars to be found at present.

However, due to its obscurity; I found that there are very few sellers of 100% pure Tamanu oil. In the UK, I could not find any!

There are a few sellers in the USA, but buying from these companies (if you live in the UK and Europe) involves high shipping costs and the painfully long wait for delivery, which can sometimes involve even further delays and costs with customs.

Many of the products containing Tamanu oil are also diluted with other, less effective oils and are also vastly over-priced (this is the case with the Skinderma Pro product).

As a result of the dearth of options with regard to Tamanu Oil products available; the evidence pointing to its unique and superior effectiveness for scar and skin healing and requiring an affordable, attractively packaged and conveniently available product for my own usage; I have ventured into the world of product development and developed a  Tamanu Oil product, available for purchase in and from the UK.

It retails at a fraction of the cost  of the Skinderma Pro product and it contains only 100% pure, undiluted Tamanu oil, to ensure maximum strength, effectiveness and speed of action.

What Is The Best Acne Scar Treatment? Remove Acne Scars FAST

Want to know the best acne scar treatment? Scar removal is an often debated topic on the net and elsewhere. You will find that there is no final answer on the right way to get rid of scars.

There are dozens of natural scar remedies, designer scar creams, surgical procedures, and an array of other scar treatment options. But which ones really work? Scar creams and surgeries can be really expensive and don’t always deliver the best results.

Most home remedies are nothing more than rumors and old wives tales and don’t really do anything to reduce scarring. If you really want to know how to get rid of scars for good, here are some simple tips that work for nearly any scar.

The Scar Solution

First of all, before you start spending a bunch of money on expensive designer scar creams, you should research what you’re actually buyer. Most of these scar removal products are just a cocktail of moisturizers, Vitamin E, and maybe some “antioxidants” or other unproven fillers.

When it comes down to it, these products are usually overpriced junk that don’t do anything to actually get rid of scars. For instance, Vitamin E has not been proven effective for the treatment of scars. In fact it has shown to worsen scarring in some studies. Any positive effects you may see from these products are likely from the massaging of the area daily.

Here are some simple tips that can help reduce scarring and won’t cost you an arm and a leg:

Sunscreen – During the healing stage, your scar is very sensitive to ultraviolet light. It can easily burn and become hyperpigmented and discolored. This makes the scar very red and ultimately much more noticeable. Once this damage has been done, it’s a real pain to get rid of. Do yourself a favor and keep it covered.

The Scar Solution. It’s the most effective way to get rid of scars,

Exfoliation – Exfoliating the top layers of the scar can help to flatten and smooth the affected area. Don’t overdo this as you can irritate the skin and make your scar more noticeable.

The Scar Solution

There are many natural acids that can do this gently. For instance, lemon juice is often touted as a natural bleach for scars. While this is somewhat true, its main function is to exfoliate the skin which helps flatten it out. This makes it a helpful natural product for getting rid of scars.

There are many simple and natural products and techniques just like these that can dramatically reduce the visibility of many scars. Don’t always fall for the common myths when it comes to natural scar treatment. Most of the well known natural treatments are ineffective.

Never apply any topical product to the skin until you know it works, and more importantly, why it works. Most common scar products and remedies are not scientifically backed in any way and in some cases can cause irritation and worsen scars.

With the right combination of natural treatments and scar removal methods, you can reduce or eliminate scarring in many cases. No matter how old your scar is or how you got it, you can improve the appearance without expensive and costly procedures.

Acne Scar Removal – Different Types of Laser Treatments to Remove Scars Caused by Acne

Here are some of the laser treatments available that will be able to treat acne.

The first is called Ablative Lasers. Basically, this kind of laser eliminates the outermost layer of the skin which includes the scar tissue. Therefore, it will expose the new skin underneath which will make the dermal collagen to tighten up because of the burning action of the laser. By doing this, it will assist in lowering the visibility of the acne scar and in some cases it will even remove it completely.

Erbium laser and ultra pulsed carbon dioxide lasers are used for this kind of treatment. Because burning off the outer layer of the skin will result in exposing the next skin layer, wound care must be carefully utilized to avoid infection. The skin may normally remain red for roughly a year and it will eventually fade after several months of the treatment.

Non-abrasive lasers are also used for treating acne scars. This type of laser will alter the dermis and will not harm the epidermis during the procedure. For most people, this is the preferred treatment as it is considered to be minimally invasive and causes fewer complications.

Both types of laser treatments will require the doctor or the specialist to apply anesthetic before the surgery. In most cases, the patient will even need to spend a day or two at the hospital in order to completely recover. However, you will see that the end result will be very good and you will be able to see how effective both the methods can be in removing acne scars.

Home Remedies To Remove Acne Scars

Acne is a common condition that affects most people at some point in their lives. For reasons that are not understood some people develop severe acne that leads to permanent and sometimes disfiguring scarring.

There are different kinds of acne scarring: ice pick scarring, atrophic scarring, and hypertrophic scarring. People are always looking for ways to remove acne scars, below are some tips that would help you get rid of acne scars and clear your skin:

1. If your acne scars dark, you can use lemon juice to lighten them. Cleanse your face with lemon juice. Dab one teaspoon of lemon juice into a cotton ball and smooth it over the acne marks. Leave for ten minutes, then rinse.

2. Avoid touching your face at all costs. Use the back of your hand for itching. Don’t make contact with acne with your nails. This will lead to intense scarring. When you try to pick and pry at the pimples, you only worsen the look and feel of the epidermis.

3. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which prevents excess production of sebum that causes acne. Tomatoes also have antioxidant properties, which help to improve the damaged and scarred skin. Make thin slices of a tomato and place them over your face like a mask. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash off with water.

4. Avoid eating junk food as much as possible. Studies have showed that excess oil consumption and other fatty foods cause immense acne formation.

5. ALWAYS wash your face before you go to bed. Remove all traces of makeup and other cosmetics before going to bed or else the pores of the acne get infected which can cause inflammation of acne. Use makeup in limited quantity. Use natural and herbal makeup as much as possible.

6. A balanced and nutritious diet does a really great job at rebuilding your skin so it looks flawless again. Make sure you include in your diet all the nutrients you need to allow growth of newer and healthier skin cells.

7. Often times a version of baking soda is used in cosmetic microdermabrasion treatments. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water. Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.

8. After exfoliating your skin with baking soda, massage a pea-sized amount of olive oil onto your face. Acne scaring can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness. The moisturizing nutrients in the olive oil will penetrate the skin to deeply moisturize the skin and soften the skin’s texture.

9. Water is considered as the best natural acne treatment. Water helps to remove the dead skin cells and helps the new skin to grow. It keeps the skin hydrated. Therefore, it is beneficial to drink adequate amount of water everyday.

10. Application of honey as a face mask or oral intake of honey are other effective treatments for acne scars. Honey is a natural moisturizer, which helps to remove the acne scars and gives a natural glow to the skin.

How To Treat and Remove Acne Scars

People  develop acne pits, toothpick-sized holes, in their face when an infected pustule or they have had a prolonged bout with cystic acne. These not only only lower one’s self-esteem, due to them being immediately noticeable,  but they also lead to more skin damage.

Natural Remedies
In general, individuals commonly try at home products since they do not cost very much. Most treatments are items you already have in your home, like, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or milk. Using these products will help you to exfoliate your skin as thy all feature milk acidic properties. The improvements will not be so dramatic and could take a longer time than if you had went to see a cosmetic dermatologist.

Drugstore Remedies
Drug treatments sold in stores for acne pitting are normally advertised as acne scar treatment. These could be categorized as being more effective and more costly than using personal home natural food remedies topically. Even so, they are not as expensive and not as effective when compared to multiple treatments provided by a cosmetic dermatologist.  The well-known brand names and products usually include Glycolic acid which helps prevent and reduce the likelihood of pits. Other choices may include over-the counter dermal fillers which are not a treatment; they are simply a cosmetic filler, so once you stop using it your skin will return to its normal state

Cosmetic Dermatologist Services
Acne scar treatments provided by a dermatologist yield the best long term results and solutions. Although, they are the most expensive method to treat  acne pitting, it is the most favored. The treatments you will need may involve laser skin resurfacing, in which the dead skin cells are taken off to reduce the appearance of scars; dermabrasion; whereby the skin is reduced to level the skin off with the pit; scar excisions, the scar tissue is removed and the adjacent tissue is combined; or grafting, a process where the pitted skin is taken off using a punch and substituted with healthier skin.

Acne Treatment – Remove Acne Scars Through Herbal Ways

What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even upper arms.

Acne commonly starts in the early teen years, when the oil glands in the body start secreting excess sebum (oil).

Although acne is usually not a serious health threat, it can be a source of significant emotional distress. Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring.

Who gets acne?

# Anyone can get acne, but it is most common in teenagers. It may be worse in boys because they have more skin oils.

# Changing hormone levels in adolescent girls and adult women two to seven days before their menstrual period starts.

# Heredity also plays a role. If your mother and father had bad acne, you may too get it.

# Some people are extra sensitive to the bacteria that are trapped in their hair follicles.

What causes acne?

The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several related factors.

One important factor is an increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones). These hormones increase in both boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and secrete more sebum.
