Tips for Healing Fresh Scars

If your scars are fairly new and still red you are not yet suitable for skin needling. Best result with skin needling are seen once the scar has gone white.

Some scars take a very long time to heal and it may be worth giving your body a helping hand. There are many lotions and potions that you can buy for hefty sums that promise all sorts of miracles. Don't be fooled, although some may help the fact is that everything your body needs to enhance the healing process is contained in two oils, Olive Oil and Avocado Oil. The two of these combined on a 1 to 1 ratio will give your skin vitamin A, E and all the moisture it requires to help along the healing process.

You can buy both these oils at your local food shop for about £5 each bottle. Choose the Extra Virgin kind. In other words, the thicker the better. Try to keep the area moist or sticky with oil. Your skin loves moisture when it regenerates. Silicone Strips, from your local chemist are also very good. I recommend sleeping with them and using the oil during the day.

If your scars are raised, you may be looking at keloids. These are notoriously difficult to get rid of. If they are old, skin needling MAY help, but the success rate is only about 50%, still many feel that those odds are good enough to try the treatment. Keloids happen when the cut is deep and there is a huge genetic factor to them.

People from Asian and Afro Caribbean decent have a much higher chance of getting keloids than other ethnic groups. The best product for raised scars is the silicone strips that you can buy at your chemist. Keep them on 24/7 if possible and you should see a big improvement.
