Facial scars caused by acne, injury or surgery are a cause for cosmetic concern in most people who possess these skin abnormalities. Treatment depends on the type of scarring present and some treatments may require surgery, however, there are options in attempting to reduce the appearance of facial scarring.
Step 1
Apply a Vitamin E enriched moisturizer every day. Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect and its properties include aiding in the skin's healing process.
Step 2
Visit a spa for a microdermabrasion session or purchase an at-home kit. Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and "sanding" down uneven surfaces.
Step 3
Apply lemon juice to the scar every day. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent that can help fade scars and reduce redness.
Step 4
Consult your dermatologist for laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing will remove the damaged skin layers and expose a fresh layer of skin, eliminating scars.
Step 5
Apply tea tree oil to acne scars to reduce their appearance. Tea tree oil is rich in antioxidants and promotes skin cell regeneration. It also stimulates reproduction of collagen, causing indentation scars to plump back out.
