New Laser Treatment Eliminates Acne Scars

Acne is the most common skin disorder that affects over 80% of adults, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. In fact, 20 million Americans have acne badly enough that it causes scars.

Adults who suffer from acne scars are often embarrassed at the unsightly appearance that their acne leaves behind. A new medical technology called the "Fraxel Laser Treatment" works wonders for these and other skin problems. Healing occurs quickly and there is very little downtime for patients.

Dr. Hector Milla, Tijuana plastic surgeon at Face & Body Design, is one of the first in area to have this new technology. Dr. Milla performs the Fraxel Laser Treatment on patients not just locally, but also from the U.S. and elsewhere. San Diego Fraxel is not just good for acne scars, but also helps reduce the look of damaged and aged skin.

This new device promotes stimulation of collagen. Thus, individuals will continue to see improvement, even weeks after their treatment.

Safe and effective, the Fraxel laser is cleared by the FDA and has undergone extensive testing in the lab and out in the field. Dr. Milla says that based on his clinical experience, an effective treatment regime generally requires 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart.

“In our practice, we have observed nice improvements in uneven skin color and wrinkles around the eye area. The treated skin is smooth, soft and fresh. In fact, our patients are so thrilled with how young and attractive they look that their friends and family members are requesting Fraxel treatment, especially when compared to other abrasive treatments that are associated with far more significant side effects,” notes Dr. Milla.

Dr. Milla is a board certified plastic surgeon, active member Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, on the Mexican board of plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, the Mexican Federation of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Baja California Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, and member of the San Diego plastic surgery society.

Here are my favorite natural acne scar treatments:

Vitamin E
Don't underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink :) . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.

Cocoa Butter
This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you're using the 3 Day Cure technique and your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars and make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.

Honey
Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne & acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?

Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples and will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.

Lemon
Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that's a plus ;)

The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars and balance your skin's pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.
