Was wondering what luck you guys have had with over the counter/drug store solutions to rolling scars.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I didn't see it after a quick search.

My scars are definitely rolling, not incredibly visible, but still definitely there with a mix of red marks.

Any help/advice would be great. I want to get started as soon as possible and would like to purchase something this weekend. THanks

PS: I have tried blue light treatment with zero noticeable results

A picture would be great to see how deep they actually are. There aren't that many over the counter treatments that can do anything to scars.. (at least not ones that are easily obtainable). You could look for information on "saline subcision" - some have had success with it. However it's something that mustn't be done if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Also I wouldn't success doing it if the scars are very shallow as there's always the chance of making things worse.
Since you also got red marks I think a chemical peel could be a great option... You should have no trouble finding information on those. A glycolic acid peel or tca would do wonders to red marks at least.

Instead of running out and buying something just to get started spend the weekend reading the forums. The dermaroller is probably the most used of the OTC products. You might also like to peruse this forum. http://www.essential...ddb989558fb0604

I've been looking at some chemical peels (light to medium, but probably on the light side) and maybe some microderm, but my scars are pretty shallow and barely noticable until you're within a foot of my face (there are two or three that are big deeper).
