..have you considered fraxel..?

hey! I have not heard of it at all. is it topical? people tell me to use mederma but I'm pretty sure that is not going to work. what do you think?

Fraxel is a laser. Mederma won't help indented scarring. To put it generally, topical things really won't work. I suggest you visit a dermatologist and ask about your options. It may take some saving up because some procedures are costly. But I would suggest you ask about excision and fraxel. Excision is where they cut out the scar, and sucture it together, leaving a much less noticeable scar, and fraxel helps to smooth it out. Hope that helps!

yeah, i talked to a dermatologist recently about a lot of procedures and she shot down everyone of them. i was crying ridiculously as I was driving home from that doctors app. but i never heard of fraxel before or something called tca or something. so I am in the process of finding a dermatologist that I like cause that other doctor was so impersonal. my old dermatologist was too, but he got the job done and i was satisfied with the results. i will talk to my new derm. about it when i go to my next app.

First off, I will say that you are very pretty with or without the scarring which I'm sure you know. I have scarring of a somewhat similar nature after breaking out horribly on accutane. From what I have read I think the best thing to do is something like the combination of subsicion and fraxel. The subsicion will help to elevate the scarred skin and then a laser like fraxel will help to smooth the skin out. Hope this helps, and good luck with your scar correction.

yeah, I've been thinking about a couple of things. I have to get some things worked out with my insurance company but when I do I am going to talk my options over with my doc and a plastic surgeon. you got subcision and fraxel done?

No, I haven't had anything done yet. I am only a month off accutane, so I have to wait til 6 months is up to do anything. I've read some positive things about subcision and fraxel tho, so I think thats what I'm going to try and get done. How long have you been off accutane?
