Some myths and the real truth:
Wash your face frequently to prevent breakouts and marks. This is true only to a certain extent. Excessive washing will deplete oils from your skin, which will increase sebum production to combat dryness. And this will lead to pimples. Wash your face to remove grime, and use a gentle cleanser.
If you have pimples, you should use face washes meant for oily skin. This will only strip away essential oils from your skin, and the side effects will be the same as that for excessive washing. It is wiser to use a mild and gentle face wash, or get the advice of an expert.
Exfoliate regularly to facilitate rejuvenation of new and clear skin. Regularly means once in two weeks. Exfoliation should be done with a gentle scrub in a gentle massaging manner. Too harsh a treatment will damage your skin further, and too frequent treatment will deplete oils.
X, Y or Z is a certain remedy for pimple marks. This varies from one individual to another. What works for one may not work for another. So, make the effort to find out if the so-called universal cure is actually suitable for you or not.
Lasers, peels and abrasion treatments are incredibly painful. They are not any more painful than waxing or threading.
Only teenage pimples leave marks. This ranks high up there with the belief that breakouts stop miraculously after you reach adulthood. Breakouts can occur anytime, and if they are not managed properly, they will lead to marks.
So as you can see, myths about Acne scars removal are based on small figments of truth. However, half-truths are more dangerous than fiction, and hopefully it is clear from the explanation of the myths. Getting familiar with this is necessary so that you can avoid complicating matters for yourself. If you want to get your marks treated, then consult a reputed and certified dermatologist.
