scar removal procedures for people on Dan's regimen

Hi ,

So I'm basically clear from Dan's BP (yay!), but I'm quite confused about my "scars". Some of the imperfections look like scars, but some other ones are a bit soft (but my skin is soft in general...) and it looks like they might have puss underneath still, but they won't erupt for months and I have no active inflammations. I'm wondering what if anyone out there who's been cleared on Dan's BP has done fraxel or other scar removal treatment, and whether or not you guys think that it wouold cause a breakout if we have to stop BP on the fraxel treatment (do we have to stop the BP)?

So basically, I know that BP is not a cure, but then when is it appropriate to consider scar removal procedures? I have this uneasy feeling that, since I won't be 100% unless I'm on BP (I'm 95% clear without BP), I'm not "really clear' yet and it might be inappropriate for me to consider e.g. fraxel or soemthing...

Thanks!

At what point is it safe to get fraxel/other laser/surgical scar treatment?

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering, at what point in your acne treatment should one consider getting laser scar treatments? I'm 98-99% clear but not totally, and I'm wondering if fraxel will aggravate my condition.

So the basic question is, how long have u guys waited, after you clear (or if u haven't cleared but are almost clear, how many percent clear were you), before you got laser scar treatments? And have the treatments aggravated your acne?

(if u're on BP and had laser scar treatment do you just keep using it?)

Thanks!

Anyone doing both diet/accupunture/herbal treatment AND started to use benzoyl peroxide?

so I was on this very strict diet for 2 years (It's really quite strict. Don't wanna bore you guys here. If u're interesting go to my profile or see my previous posts in the introduction section) and I went from very severe acne (uniformly red, completely swollen chin) to mild/moderate, with fluctuations. When I started Dan's regimen 3.5 weeks ago, I was 95% clear but suffered from daily fluctuations. After 5 days or so of initial breakout, I've been pretty much clear most of the time!! Thanks Dan!!

The thing is, before the BP, if I ate anything I'm not supposd to eat (including scrambled eggs, which probably had 3 yolks: cake made with egg yolks and fine and milk is also fine... so I know it's the egg yolks, which I had avoided for a while), I reacted very fast, and the allergy depends on the amount taken...a littlb bit seems ok... (except for the evil food like MSG or chocolate)

So my question is, are there other people who have been on some herbal/holistic diet before and then started Dan's regimen, which works? If so, how long would/did you wait, keeping Dan's regimen, until you would gradually and carefully add back healthy things that you're not eating? (for me, that would be garlic, cooking wine, more soy sauce, egg yolks, and other seasoning herbs...I probably am forever scared of MSG, chocolate and beef)

Thanks!

Diet and Dan's regimen

so I was on this very strict diet and herbal treatment/accupuncture for 2 years (It's really quite strict. Don't wanna bore you guys here. If u're interesting go to my profile or see my previous posts in the introduction section) and I went from very severe acne (uniformly red, completely swollen chin) to mild/moderate, with fluctuations. When I started Dan's regimen 3.5 weeks ago, I was 90-95% clear but suffered from daily fluctuations. After 5 days or so of initial breakout, I've been pretty much clear most of the time!! Thanks Dan!!

raised scar recommendations/cica?

Dear all,

I started the regimen with Dan's gel about a week ago, and I broke out a bit on places that I saw things coming anyway, so I think it's "cleansing" and I'm happy about it.

Maybe I'm too hopeful now. Assuming I clear (I was 80-90% clear from herbal treatment, and now with Dan's BP I'm quite hopeful), I'm wondering what the people recommend for raised (hypertropic) scars and how long I should wait after I clear (again, I hope this is not me being too optimistic) before I do the various procedures.

Also, has anyone used cica-care? I'm wondering if people who had been acne-prone will have breakouts if they use this, after they clear for say a few months or a year.

Thanks!
