Hi Tally,
I'll do my best to advise you, anyhow I thik it is best option for you to consult doctor, dermatologist, easthetician or plastic surgeon.
Ok, to achieve beauty skin there are few options possible.
If you have mild scaring, then is best to try at home procedures, such as at home dermabrasion and chemical peels. Some people use them in combination with retinol or alpha hydroxyl acid lotions or creams, but if you have sensitive skin (prone to redness), I do not advise you to use retinol or alpha hydroxyl products right after dermabrasion or peels because it can cause redness and irritation.
for mild scaring aloe vera juice and gels work well, also lavender oils. Some people apply honey on scars... it is also thought to help with mild scarring. This were home therapies (there are many, many other possibilities considering home treatmnets, I am sure).
Besides home therapies, there are also professional treatments to achieve beauty skin. This treatments inlude laser resurfacing, which means laser is used to remove 'old' skin, so new skin forms. This procedure works well actually, though people with darker skin have reported having problems with uneven skin tones. Some people have problems with redness and irritation for several weeks after laser resurfacing.
Another profesional option is dermabrasion, which also has some negative side effects such as redness for several weeks after procedure. Besides dermabrasion, possible option is augmentation, where material similar to collagen is injected under scar which then brings it to the surface.
There are few more options possible, but it would really be best to determine what treatment is best for you by your doctor. Treatment for beauty skin namely depends on the depth and shape of scars, so you really need profesional opinion to help determine right treatment.
Hope this was helpful for a start!
Take care,
