yo bros, thanks million for replies :)

juz a few thing to clarify:

for me, the acne outbreak is gone liao. (those advice u guys posted still useful to other bros though.) it happened when i was in army. lousy food n dirty environment and accoding to nsc (national skin center), maybe also hormone change (something like 2nd puberty) cause outbreak.

but acne go down liao. no special treatment besides dat few visit to nsc and their expensive face washing detergent (lucky saf pay) which did not work. now the problem thing is the holes left behind... tink facial can get rid of acne but not the holes rite?

i got get info from nsc. but their method very scary. something like use sandpaper to smoothen the face :eek:. and a few days have to wrap face in bandage. n they only prescribe to ppl with such a serious case that they totally lost confidence and cannot function socially.

so does facial help to remove the holes? does those "skin regeneration" treatment work? like i said, from the li guohuang e.g. i tink they con money only : mad : (sian. how come limit only allow 2 smilies...)

bro can try cooltouch or laser treatment. it's the only known treatment that can see improvement like 40-even 80% recovery depending on the number of times u go for it. there are many places that offer including NSC, salons and private clinics like those dermatologists.

i'm also intending to go for CT soon once i make up where to do :o

my fren went for the laser treatment at nsc. its not cheap....300+ ....and its only for 2 small areas abt the size of a $1 coin. if u want to do the whole face, it will most likely cost u a bomb...but the results are good though...

one thing to note is that after the laser treatment, u will have something like burnt scars, followed by very obvious uneven skin tone (after scars heal) before u see the end results. this will take 1-2 months.

This is something I read in Feb's issue of Women's Weekly.

For Acne scars, doctors recommend using several methods to tackle the problems. To treat acne scars, they like microdermabrasion, IPL, Polaris and Fotofacial RF to lighten and even skin tone as well as treat age spots. Fotofacial RF is actually IPL and RF combined; because it uses radiofrequency, less light is required, reducing the chances of burns. It's also better for treatment of patients with darker skin.

Microdermabrasion
Cost: $250 to $600
Average Time: 30 minutes
Back to Life: Immediate
Possible Risks: Those with sensitive skin may experience rednessl skin peels after four to five days

Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
Cost: $380 to $1,200
Average Time: 1 hour
Back to Life: Immediate
Possible Risks: Risk of minor skin burns especially for darker or tanned skin

Polaris
Cost: $800 to $1,000
Average Time: 1 hour
Back to Life: Immediate
Possible Risks: Redness and swelling subsides after 1 hour; risk of minor burns

Fotofacial Radiofrequency (RF)
Cost: $800 to $1,200 per session
Average Time: 20 minutes
Back to Life: 20 minutes
Possible Risks: Redness and minor skin burns.

Hope the above info helps!

i guess most chio gals is turn off if the guy have too many holes to spare in the face. Use ur ass skin to cover it up. u get wat i mean? There is such surgery where doc uses the patients ass skin to stick to the face :).haha

Re: How to get rid of acne scars?
 

thx for the info bro. It really helps those bro n youngster if they r suffering from acne outbreak. But i got a cheap but painful old grandfather method. Use lime (the small ones for ur mee rebus) slice it halve n gently rub the area tat its affected. Its gona be damn painful n irritation cos by the acid, but bear with it as the acid is killing away so call germs or bacteria in the acne. For ard 10-15mins . Rinse ur face with cold water n let ur pores relax by having a cold n abit damp face towel to relax ur face. Do this a few times in a week n u will see results. Belif it or not :)
