Q. How do I remove accident marks on face?

Fortunately, there are several methods available to help reduce the appearance of accident marks on your face. Depending on the severity of the mark and its cause, you may be able to significantly reduce or even completely eliminate your accident mark with just a few simple steps.
First, it is important to consider what type of accident mark you have and how it was caused. If it is a minor scratch or bruise that you suffered from an everyday bump in the street or during sports, these marks can often heal naturally over time without much intervention. However, if your accident mark was caused by something more serious such as an injury or medical condition like acne scars, then further steps will likely be necessary for best results.
If a natural healing process has not yet been successful in diminishing your accident marks after several days or weeks have passed since their initial formation, then here are some proven ways that could help remove them:
1) Chemical Peels - Chemical peels involve applying one or more chemical solutions to the affected area which removes damaged skin cells and encourages new cell generation; this can often dramatically improve the appearance of severe scarring left over from an injury.
2) Laser Treatments - This procedure utilizes highly concentrated beams of light energy which work similar to chemical peels but without any harm done to healthy tissue; multiple laser treatment sessions may be necessary for maximum effectiveness depending on the severity and cause of your scarring.
3) Microdermabrasion - A mild abrasive cream containing aluminum oxide crystals is used with a hand-held device that lightly polishes away outer layers of skin leaving behind fresh unscarred cells; although this technique can initially cause slight redness and sensitivity in some cases, microdermabrasion usually does not result in any downtime afterwards.
Finally, as part of a holistic approach towards removing accident marks altogether from your face (or other parts of body), use natural oils like argan oil , plus vitamins A & C accompanied by other herbal ingredients including aloe vera gel — all these collagen-stimulating properties together should give you palpable improvements while minimizing chances for unwanted side effects at same time!
