Brief Answer:
Options for dermal atrophic scars and stretch marks
Detailed Answer:
Hello.thank you for your query.
I would suggest you to use either Revize cream (contains 0.02% tretinoin) or Retino -A 0.025% cream (also contains tretinoin), once daily at night instead of bio-oil. Tretinoin helps to rebuild and remodell collagen which improves the scars.
Otherwise for acne scars or stretch marks either Resurfacing CO 2 Laser or Microneedling would also be good options.

Helo Sir
Thanks for your swift response.
Few weeks back you had suggested zimig cream for skin rashes around the thigh areas.
As i noticed it does smoothen out skin well so on the similar lines just wanted to know if it can work well on the acne scars too to smoothen out the skin though i do understand that skin types are different when it comes to face and other areas o fthe body and the purpose the medicine serves are different.
But just wanted to clarify if Zimig can wok well for acne scars just to smoothen them ?
Many Thanks !
