I have a pretty good sized boxcar that has responded pretty well to the needling.  It will take many months though, before you see enough improvment to get excited about.  a year or more to really see them "go away".  I've been doing the rolling for about 5 months now, and it's made a huge difference, but you have to eat very very healthy and take msm and hyaluronic acid and plenty of vitamin c.  I use copper peptides and a retinol product post roll.  I do the "big roll" (1mm roller and 1.5mm stamp for trouble areas) about once a month and "small rolls" with a .5mm roller a couple of times a week for topical absorbtion.  It's been very productive.  I was comparing before pics to now pics last night and the results are there for sure.  I will probably never stop dermarolling forever.  I did a tca cross for my ice picks 8 days ago.  They're healing nicely, and I am optimistic that the TCA cross is going to help me but it's going to take a number of treatments by the looks of it, and it's a laborious and mentally taxing process to be sure.  Didn't want to even go out for the first few days because it looked like I had cold sores all over my face.  I have decided that I am just going to have to suffer through it for a while.  I want my old self back.

 

Congrats on your progress. Do you mind posting the before and after pictures?

Does anyone know if Derma Roll + Retin-a will help reduce or even get rid of shallow boxcar scars like mine? Here are the photos of my scars and my profile.

Your scars are barely noticeable dude. My boxcar scars are a lot worse.

I have the money for fractional laser but I'm afraid of the risk. I'm thinking of going with Derma Roller + Retin-a to treat my boxcar scars. Do you guys think that will be effective for my boxcar scars?
