Getting rid of acne scars...Possible?

After a severe attack of acne, one would probably left with the dreadful acne scars. This is mostly an unwelcome sorrowful sight as they do make one's appearance not so pleasing. They surely aren't a pretty sight, so it is normal for everyone with scars to want to get rid of them.

If someone told you that those acne scars can be totally get rid of and restore your skin condition to its porcelain state, then take his/her opinion with a pinch of salt. They might be able to eliminate or lessen its severity and obvious appearance, but to totally restore one's skin to its original pristine state, that's indeed a tall order.

However, I do have a friend who have been successful in getting rid of his scar on his leg without resorting to expensive and painful treatments or medications ( for example dermabrasion). With his undying commitment and patience, he applied Vitamin E cream daily to his scar. Voila! After a year of doing so, his scar was gone forever. I think very few people, especially acne sufferers would have that sort of patience and persistency.

Anyway, if we already have scars, be it acne scars or scar on other part of our bodies, it is wise to treat them early. They will show quicker response to medication and heal sooner the faster we do something about them. Believe me, old scars do take a long long time to "heal".

Vitamin E plus zinc supplement do help speed up the healing process of the scar and reduce the scarring.A herb known as sarsaparilla which is normally found in complex with other herbs can greatly improve the texture and condition of the scar tissue.

To best reducing the scarring effect, take Vitamin E externally and zinc internally plus sarsaparilla. Also supplement your diet with 500 mg of evening primrose oil.
