Suggest Best And Effective Method For Clearing Deep Scars On The Face

Hello I have been smoking meth for about two years with a frequentcy of about once a week sometimes twice but sometimes missing a week here and there .. Anyway I started getting meth sores on face when using meth in the past 5 months and I have slowed down because I started to pick a few times and at one time picked very very deep and created massive scars .. I just did it again about one hour ago.
I am now quitting meth for good.
I haven't used in the last 36 days and two days ago was the fiat time and I have created more scars. IM DONE.
I'm wondering what would be the best and QUICKEST way to have my clear face back without the scars.
I hear there is a laser treatment .. What one would u suggest??

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have suffered from acne that commonly occur as a side effect of smoking meth and the bark scars left behind seems to be post inflammatory hyperpigmentation..
It is however tough to reduce the scars left after resolution of massive sores or pimples and can take a long time of about an year to reduce the marks..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to start washing your face with Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Apply Vitamin E and C containing creams..
Licorice and grapeseed extract containing creams are also helpful..
Photofacial,Chemical feeling, Microdermabrasion, Dermal rollers and lazers are effective treatment protocols..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
