Hi,

Just wondering is there anyway to heal the 'indented/depressed' scar without any sort of surgery. The scar i got is a couple of cm long.. and its indented. It might not able to see it clearly but when i tilt the head on an angle under the light you can see it indented and its really ugly. Its been for like years now and i tried quite a few product that mention scar reduction but it just doesnt seem to be working.

Is there any product that can 'regenerate' the tissue in the skin so it 'fill in some gap' and doesnt look that indented and less noticeable?? Also, since its like a 4-5 year old scar ( im 21 now and happened around when i was 16/17), if i stay out in the sun will it further damages and make it more 'depressed'. Will my scar ever be heal or gets a little better? I just dont know what to do anymore *sigh*. i feel like i just loss all my hopes but yet i still dont wanna give up. If anyone know anything about certain product or something, please let me know. Thankyou

hmmm... i'm not sure... scar removing creams might help... have you tried any?

an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon may be able to improve this with a dermal filler (juvaderm, restalyne, etc).

whats a dermal filler? And is it any dangerous? im avoiding surgery cause read many "bad" things about it and im just afraid cause i just dont wanna make things even worse. That is why im trying to seek a safe method such as skin product to help me but skin cream so far have not been really helping me and it just seem theres no cream right now that can regenerate the skin tissue and 'fill in' to make it seem less indent

3tse, a dermal filler is an injection .. for your face, usually used for wrinkles.

You could have a few sessions of microdermabrasion if the scar isn't too deep.

3tse

Oh ok.

My scar isnt that deep, just wondering, does it like " fill in " adding layer to the skin so it doesnt look that indent? Does the microdermabrasion process have any danger or risk involve? whats the general price for this treatment? Cause i only got 1 scar that i really want to get rid of. Do i have to speak with a skin specialist first then they refer to other people?

Thanks

Hi 3tse

Dermal filler are used for deep scars, and they work. It involves regular upkeep like any collagen/hyaluronic injection treatment. It's pretty safe, but reactions are not unheard of, and it's pretty expensive.

There are other things worth experimenting with. Good skin care products with peptides and alpha lipoic acid, rosehip seed oil. Rosehip seed oil have a good reputation as a scare healer, even old ones. There's copper peptides that might be a bit risky, some have adverse reactions. Regular treatments with skin needling or derma roller that pricks the skin and triggers natural regeneration processes in the skin, and have proven to reduce scars significantly (pictures can be found on youtube and google).

Best of luck :-)

Do you know any good skin product that contains roseship oil? i would like to give it a try

2blue

There are several, I use Weleda Wild Rose, and some times Lavera, but I'll have to admit I add a bit of extra rosehip oil because it doesn't look like there are very much, and when I add kelp bioferment and antioxidant booster, it needs a bit more oil.

I use Weleda Wild Rose too. The roll on type. How convenient is that-

2blue

There's a roll on too? I haven't seen it, but they don't have the complete line of products on the shelves here. They have capsules with pure rosehip oil, and I sometimes have used that, but it's too expensive in the long run. I think some of the Aubrey creams have rosehip oil, but it's not available here, and I only ordered them from ebay a couple of times, and I can't remember exactly what was in them.

gymrat

Yes I have the roll on type. It really is handy. 2blue where are you? Aussie?? Sorry, I forget.

Norway, I get most things in stores here, but somethings I order form UK or Germany, some times from US, but mostly small light things because of p&p costs. I should be able to get any Weleda products here really, it's just that not all the shops have the full line. You have some really good and huge stores in California, I remember them from when I was in San Francisco :- )
