Does tanning make acne scars fade?

If I tan, will it fade my acne scars over time? Does tanning make acne scars fade?
no, it might blend it a little but it def darkens the scars. if you have spots you want to fade try using a hydroquinone lightening gel%26gt; murad makes a good one but always use sunscreen with itDoes tanning make acne scars fade?
It does make the red marks fade some.... I asked my dermatologist the same question though, and he said that you shouldn't expose your scar's to sunlight because it can slow the healing process.. also he said it could deepen then scar. BUT, who knows.? I would think that during an outbreak you might not want to tan, but after your skin has healed some, and you just have some red marks remaining, it would probably even your skin tone. There are other things you can do though that are safer to fade your scars. You can do a chemical peel, you can even do it yourself at home, if you order a glycolic acid, or salicylic acid peel product online. I ordered one on ebay. You can look up suggested chemical peel products to fade acne scars before buy one. The chemical peel has the same effect as the tan, in the sense that it is sort of burning your outer layers of skin, and drying them out, so they peel off. It definitely fades evens out your skin tone, and can help with acne too!
Your acne scars will fade over time regardless of tanning or not. Tanning will make your skin darker and thus your scars less noticeable... but there's also the potential that your scars will get darker as well. And tanning isn't good for your skin. I suggest you try a fade cream. There are a few good kinds out there, Ambi is a good one and stay away from tanning.
i tried doing that to,


theres a good part and a bad part


bad part is it might make them a little worse, but only a little becuz of the UV rays


good part is if ur tan the scars blend more and vitamin D and K found in sunlight nourishes skin
yes it does, i do that to get rid of my bacne scars





they do also have special stuff for scars that removes it, you can get it at the local pharmacy
