scar removal?

[Fiending_the_freedom]

I keep trying to look about it online but all i get is acne scar removal, i'm i'm sure its probablty not the same treatment they do for my scars from the cuts.
i want to get it on my upper thigh, you know so i can wear a normal bathingsuit, or shorts.

any one know anything about it? is it painfull? how does it work?

Have you looked into laser scar removal? it can remove scar's that are pretty bad.
Laser scar removal can remove..

* Keloid Scarring: Firm, raised, and reddish-purple scars that extend beyond the initial wound area and builds over time.
* Hypertrophic Scarring: Firm, raised, and pink scars that remain within the initial wound area and possibly naturally regress over time.
* Atrophic Scarring: Depressed pin-like pockets in the skin that can result from skin conditions or diseases such as acne.

I think you would be looking at Hypertrophic Scarring?

It can be a bit costly though. hope that helps

I cut too and have for a while, but I'm not sure how you can completely REMOVE them. You can, however, by some foundation that meets the closest to your skin color for old scars. Make sure its the lon-lasting kind, though.

In the uk for a 5 cm scar to be laser removed or something fancy like that it costs 300 Pounds which is around $500 I think :S

Yes like I said that is the expensive route. it does pretty much get rid of them though.

Rather expensive than useless

I'd still stick with the makeup. Scar removal is EXPENSIVEEEE.

yea (i know this is a REALLY late reply i dont knwo why ididnt rwite sooner)

i cant live with just make up becasue my scars are BAD make up deosnt cover them, and theres a LOT.
my dad will pay for it if my mom pays for half.

ok i saw the options you showed, most of my scars, acyally basically all of my scars are white.
some of them are above the skin, most arnt. theres a few that are like indented and are pink/purple.

To get rid of them completely you would need the laser scar removal, the creams and patches that you can buy will only reduce them but not erase them.

You can try using products like Mederma. Use that two or three times a day every day, and eventually your scars will fade. It doesn't erase them, but it's helped me to fade mine to a point where they're not that noticeable most of the time (except when I get cold, they all turn purple, can't help that). I would start with something like that, and see where it gets you. If, after several weeks (in my experience Mederma takes a while to show any real effects, dunno how other products go), you're not happy with it, then maybe laser treatment is something to look into.
