Oh
no! You spot a pimple. You instantly get into action mode trying to
blast it before it grows. Of course that doesn’t work. So now, it’s day
two and it’s a full-blown pimple. You try your best not to pick at it
but let’s get real. When most people break out, they suddenly become a
“DIY dermatologist.” They do whatever is necessary to get rid of the
pimple. This typically does more harm than good and oftentimes leads to
acne scarring. Adult acne is a cycle of break out, scar, and heal repeated again and again. So now what? What do you do to get rid of the scars?
We
spoke to the husband/wife team, Drs. Michael and Jeanmarie Connor, who
combined their medical expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery
in the face and neck as well as pediatrics to create Scarology®, a 3-step treatment system with hospital grade ingredients for various kinds of new and existing scars.
“Acne
scarring is a common problem and not everyone has the money to invest
in laser resurfacing and other medical treatments. They also don’t have
the time to get away from work to see their dermatologist about a
pimple. They self treat and thus, self scar,” explains Dr. Jeanmarie
Connor.
Dr.
Mike Connor adds that there are three different kinds of acne scars.
“Hyperpigmentation scars are the darker spots on the skin that appear
brown, red or even purple, depending on how dark the skin is. The second
type of scars is an atrophic scar. These appear deeper like a pockmark.
The last scar type appears as raised bumps on the skin’s surface and
are known as hypertrophic scars.”
Understanding the different kinds of scars can
help you navigate scar treatments. There’s a lot available but it can
be very costly. According to the National Association of Plastic
Surgery, the national average for laser skin resurfacing is between
$1100 to about $2200 and that doesn’t include medications and any
additional treatments that are typically necessary for optimal results.
There’s
also a common skin goal of many women - to ditch the foundation,
concealer and powder. They would love to be able to leave the house
wearing only moisturizer, mascara, and lip-gloss. So what do you do to
heal acne scars when you don’t have thousands of dollars to invest in
facials and peels?
Drs.
Michael and Jeanmarie Connor were asked this same question time and
time again from their patients who wanted a recommendation for an
over-the-counter scar treatment that was safe and effective for kids and
adults and one that could be used on any type of scar anywhere on the
body. They couldn’t suggest anything on the market so in the absence of a
solution; they created one, Scarology.
Dr.
Michael Connor explains that the over the counter remedies you’ll find
at drugstores primarily contain either silicone or onion extract alone.
“Scarology’s scar cream, is unique because it is formulated with 4 key
ingredients that until now, have never been combined together in an
over-the-counter cream. Scarology is also different because it contains a
daily fruit exfoliator gel that is essential to scar healing.
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and allows new healthy skin cells to
form which leads to optimal scar healing results.”
Acne
scarring is a challenge for both men and women. We recommend that you
nip it in the bud from the beginning by starting a scar treatment remedy
early on.
