What is the easiest way to remove pimple scars given that they are already there?
how about diamond peeling? i think it can remove scars because it removes dead skin.

no.. it only improves the condition of scars.. after ilang sessions di na obvious ang scars.. yeah it removes dead skin pero scars are damaged skin tissues.. sabay post ng scientific and medical explanation -> go kuya kilo.. LoL! bwahaha!
yep, pimple scars are hardly reversible.
depende din kung anong cause at klase ng scars:
Causes of Acne Scars:
1) Scars Caused by Loss of Tissue
ice-pick scars, superficial or deep scars, follicular macular atrophy(somewhat like whiteheads that didn't fully develop)
2) Scars Caused by Increased Tissue Formation - raised thickened tissue such as keloids.
here are some known procedures to treat acne scars:
Collagen injection, Autologous fat transfer, Dermabrasion, Microdermabrasion, Laser Treatment, Skin Surgery, Skin grafting

nagagawan pa rin ng paraan yan. ask your derma.

pm me bro if you need a recommendation for a good derma. free consulation lang as what angelo mentioned if you have a health card.
the scars naman na naging problema ko 2 years ago were not caused by pimples but by chicken pox. bad trip nga kasi saka pa ako nagkaroon ng bulutong kelan matanda na. several sessions of chemical peels and diamond peel lang ang solusyon. regarding pimples naman, i dont have scars but sometimes pimples marks lang which are easily reversible.
Hi,
Better ask your derma regarding the dermaroller treatment... it is the best acne scar treatment.... it usually cost 25 thou and above depending on the clinic.... but that is if your scars are deep... but if its just dark scars a peeling will do the job.... im planning to have a derma roller treatment... im just saving up for it
for acne scars, my derma uses this peel, parang kinagat ka ng langgam pag nilagay sayong scar... it takes several weeks bago makikita yung results, effective... kasi tumutubo ung skin with that kind of peel...300 per session, once a week, then pag maganda na yung scar 4 sessions ng diamond peel na ang kasunod tapos kikinis na yung surface ng face...
Ako malapit nang matapos...
Davao based yung Doctor ko!

There is this procedure called TCA Cross or Spot TCA. It is a highly effective procedure of removing acne scars (from mild to moderate acne scars), and treatments can vary.
TCA (trichloracetic acid ) is injected into the acne scar using a small needle. The acid works to increase the collagen production in your skin. Since the acid was released directly into the acne scar, the collagen increase will cause the scar to lift to the surface of your skin. This one is very tedious since you have to do it on every scar. There is an at-home method (DIY - Do it yourself Method) available for TCA Cross. However, it is highly recommended that you allow a qualified dermatologist to perform the procedure since TCA Cross does have the possibility to produce further scarring if it is not professionally applied.
The efficacy of the procedure depends on the concentration of TCA used. Its is advisable to use 65%-100% TCA for optimal results.
If this is the procedure your derma is doing then I must say P300-P400 per session is very cheap. Here in Manila, the procedure costs around P1000-3000 per session.
Who is your derma by the way? ;)

mahal nga!
nung college days ko back in the day there in Davao, my derma was Dra. Padilla-Evangelista (yung kapatid ni Robin Padilla). :)
I read the posts above over and over again. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan. ;D
Could someone enlighten me?
My case:
Nagpatreat ako last year sa acne vulgaris ko. Ngayon ok na wala nang acne, minsan minsan meron 1 or 2 pimples din like "normal". :D
Binigyan ako ng mga papakinis products and bleaching cream ng Dr. ko, kaya lang hindi effective.
Nag try ako ng mga soaps na supposed to be nakaka"light" ng mga scars kaso hindi rin effective.
The only options left to me is ung mga "peeling treatments". Ano ba ung ok na hindi masakit na mapulang humihinog ung mukha? lol
Bleaching cream does not remove acne scars.
As for Hydroquinone, it is a treatment for hyperpigmentation problems. It is a skin lightening solution which is ideal to treat melasma (dark skin discoloration).
For scar treatment, depende kasi maraming klaseng scars (e.g. pimple scars, iced-pick scars, deep pitted scars, pock marks) in which may reversible at irreversible . in my experience, reversible scars can only be undone by the following:
1. microdermadrasions such as Diamond Peel and Chemical Peels (Regular TCA Peel/Spot TCA Peel/TCA Cross Peel, Glycolic Peel, PCA Peel.
2. Intense pulsed light (IPL)
3. Laser Resurfacing such as: Pixel, Fraxel, Sciton
4. little by little, subsicion
5. Dermarolling.

Are you a doctor or a dermatologist? these are high level procedures and medical jardon is quite intense :P
not quite close! ;)
I just had a long battle with acne, tried several treatments and came across so many things till I finally found one that perfectly worked for me. ;D

Kung maalala ko corticosteroid injection pag cystic acne.
teka di ba depende rin sa scar lalo na kung nakabaon. Alam ko long term vit. A derivative and katakot takot na peeling to eh.
usually, kaya na ng steroid. :-) pero if it's a worse case, ibang agents na siguro gagamitin.
after matagal ng mga pimple scars, maintain na lang diba? sa manila or cavite, meron ba kayong alam? thanks
effective ba ang rosehip oil?
ano yung rosehip oil?
Kuya Try mo mag pa FRAXEL LASER TREATMENT..
Nakita ko kasi sa "Salamat Dok" Si Dra. Vicky Belo nag Aadvertise ng bago nyang.. Service.. Which is "Fraxel"
Laser lang sya.. hihiga ka lang saglit.. kinabukasan makikita mo na yung result
no redness. no Pain.. at Sobrang Convenient daw..
Mawawala yung mga Scars mo..
Syempre Pati PERA mo :)) mawawala rin..
Pero Kinabukasan pag gising mo ikaw na ang Pinaka Pogi Sa Pinas.. :))
Mas Pogi pa kay PAPA John Loyd
Nabasa ko na rin yung Fraxel. May idea ba kayo kung magkano to?
Here are some tips to take of the pimple scars on face:
Dermabrasion is the method of shedding the top layers of skin using an apparatus that resembles a sandblaster. The method physically sheds scar tissue with the intention of giving it a fresher appearance. The technique works best on superficial scarring.
Add black holy basil leaves powder in turmeric powder and apply the pack on the face before bath. This removes pimples.
Grind coriander, Lodhra and Koot and apply on the face.
Grind fenugreek leaves and apply the pack on the face, let it dry. Then wash the face, continue this for few days to remove pimples. This also makes the skin soft and smooth.
hilamos at pulbo siguro tapos cream yung top gel...hehehe :P :P
pwede pa yung magpasunburn para pagtapos magbabalat?
yeah diamond peel
effective magpalight ng scars.
ako mismo ang proof
meron akong nakitang nag diamond peel near sa mrt station (ayala) mura siya compare sa iba pero hindi kilala. ano masasabi nyo dito? gusto ko try ang diamond peel
ung diamond peel eh parang me nagvivibrate n bakal ang ikaskas sa mukha mo eh.. tpos ayun.. tapos na xa.. prang kinakaskas lng ng marahan ang mukha mo..
same lang ba procedure ng diamond peel, kahit anong beauty shop?
^elgi wag naman beauty shop. dermatologist naman. haha.
what kind of pimple scar ba? mamaya nyan yung mga hukay na gawa ng pimples mahirap na maalis yun pero kung parang pimple marks kahit exfoliating products lang pede na
@incognito: beauty shop kasi unang pumasok sa isip ko. ahahaha
@peps: for example, meron hukay, hindi ba kaya ng diamond peel yun? meron kasing part sakin nun eh
for deep acne scars fraxel ang ginagamit.
medyo may kamahalan yung fraxel, and dito daw sa phil, hindi satisfied yung iba, compare sa diamond peel. magresearch pa din ako. thanks ah
depende nga naman kasi sa "lalim" ng scar. doon mag depend kung anong gagamitin mo.
suggest sakin nung nag punta ako sa isang dermatologist, power peel daw, pero diamond peel yung pinagawa ko, medyo ok naman yung result pero need pa ng mga follow up session. ang prob naman ngayon, yung pag oily ng face ko pag nasa office ako, kasi aircon. tsk, matinding maintenance ang kailangan ko. ahahah
actually kinaganda ng mga merong oily face di mabilis mag mature mga itsura nila.
^yup! I remember.. I was 20+s na noon pero napagkamalan aqng menor de edad..
mabilis mag-ringkle ung mga dry-face..
yeah marvin I was already 25 then pero pag pasok ko ng casino sa angeles city hinihingan ako ng ID nung mga security lol, imbis na mainis ako natawa ako lol
^sakn nmn eh nung bumile aq ng alcoholic drink sa 7-11. tinanong kung anung edad q..

when I was still in davao, I used to go to Dra. Padilla-Evangelista (she's the sister of robin and rustom padilla). Her clinic is located near JS Gaisano Ilustre, sa may duterte st. banda. Tago kasi yung clinic, nasa sulok so hindi siya easily visible. Kahilera yung ng chickies and paties. But I'm not sure kung nandun pa ngayon. Tagal ko nang di nakakauwi ng davao, more than 7 years na.
I really wanted my pimple scars to be removed so bad. But then I don't have the balls to enter Derm Centers sa malls, I feel like i'm inferior to the rests of the customers lol.
TL:DR: Do you guys know of a Derm Center which is affordable yet maganda ang service around Quezon City? May phobia ako sa jampacked na centers.
