“A couple of years ago, hormonal acne appeared, which left scars. Now I can't get rid of them. First I tried darsonval and bodyaga - dead poultices, then TCA and laser resurfacing - it didn’t help. Well, what should I do?! Has anyone even managed to remove acne scars?!”
Evgeniya, 31 years old
“Tell me something that really helps with spots and scars that remain after acne... How to treat the skin? Otherwise it will soon come to suicide...”
Alla, 21 years old
"Help! This is already a cry from the soul! I am looking for an effective remedy for acne scars on my face. I have probably tried everything possible to get rid of this ugliness. But nothing helps. I hate myself and my reflection in the mirror!”
Ekaterina, 27 years old
Every day, women and men come to us at Platinental with the only request - to cure acne scars. They come after many years of unsuccessful laser resurfacing and collagen injections, having spent a lot of money and effort, but without visible improvements.
The problem is not invented. After all, if acne goes away sooner or later, deep scars remain for life. Without makeup, retouching and filters, even celebrities would look like this:
Cameron Diaz
Brad Pitt
Britney Spears
Mickey Rourke
If you want to eliminate the causes of the problem once and for all and get perfectly smooth skin, turn your attention to Maxim Vasiliev’s original method. In just one visit, it allows you to cure acne scars on the face, back and other parts of the body, including very deep and old ones.
The skin is evened out, becomes smooth, beautiful and remains that way for the rest of its life.
The technique is based on the subcision method, which we have improved. As a result of its use, scars are not just slightly smoothed out. Scar craters, deformations and irregularities disappear and are leveled with the surface of the skin, stagnant red spots disappear.
This method makes the dream of beautiful and smooth skin without hated scars come true and restores self-confidence.
Maxim Vasiliev’s original technique helps remove acne scars completely and forever. The skin becomes smooth immediately after the procedure, and only a bruise remains from the scar. In 2 weeks the skin will completely recover, but the scars will never return again.
No other method gives such a result.

Perhaps, each of us has scars on our bodies: for some it’s a “hello” from childhood, for others it’s acne scars, marks from surgery, burns, stretch marks, etc. For others, it’s not pays attention to a scar or scar, and someone is truly complex and wants to get rid of imperfections on the skin. Therefore, we have compiled a list of the most effective, according to buyers, products that lighten scars, smooth them out, help to shrink and become as invisible as possible.

How does removing acne scars using Platinetal differ from other methods?
We devoted a separate article to what acne scars are, and why resurfacing will never solve the problem of post-acne, no matter how many times you do it.
In short, scars form in the lower, reticular layer of the skin. It is in this layer that elastin and collagen fibers are located and it determines how smooth our skin looks. Acne damages its structure. A scar forms at the site of damage.
Since scars form in the reticular layer of the skin, it is logical that this is what needs to be affected in order to smooth out the scar. This is the mistake: in the process of peeling, polishing and other procedures to eliminate scars, cosmetologists act only on the upper, papillary layer of the skin. But the problem was and remains the same, because, by and large, the doctor does not work with it at all.
We work with the lower, papillary layer of skin, where scars form, and eliminate them.
How to choose a scar cream?
Let's decide what you need to pay attention to if you are choosing an anti-scar product:
- Skin type.
If you have combination or oily skin, choose a cream-based scar treatment. The cream is well absorbed, it has a light texture, it does not clog pores and does not leave a greasy feeling. Scar ointment will not work in this case (especially if the scar is on the face) - it clogs the pores and provokes the formation of acne, and then dealing with post-acne is even more problematic. - Tendency to allergies.
You need to understand that no matter how good the remedy for scars, the body can react to any of its components. Therefore, if you are allergic, be sure to test it on your wrist before using the drug. - Scar location.
Many scar creams contain harsh ingredients that often cause irritation if applied to the face or neck (tender areas of the body). If you have a scar on your face, it is better to choose a product that is as natural as possible, has a gentle effect and rarely causes side effects.
It is not advisable to use several scar treatments at once because they can react with each other and cause unpredictable reactions. During pregnancy, scar treatments should be used with caution, since a woman’s immunity decreases, susceptibility to allergens increases - and even local products can cause allergic reactions.

Why do scars appear?
The appearance of scars after acne is caused by several factors:
- complicated acne;
- the presence of an inflammatory process for more than 1 year;
- the presence of post-acne in close relatives;
- traumatization and mechanical removal of pustules, papules and comedones.
In the absence of proper treatment, post-acne leads to exacerbation of herpes infection, depigmentation, skin scarring, allergic dermatitis, persistent erythema, as well as secondary infection with the development of erysipelas.

Sphingolipids (sphingosine and ceramides) are part of cell membranes - they restore the structure of the epidermis, maintain its lipid balance, and make scars elastic and soft. Literally after a month of constant use, you can notice the positive effect of the cream if these are young scars. The old ones decrease over the course of the year.
