Well this thread is over 8 years old and still no treatment. We have only had 2 good anti-acne treatments since the early 80's.......accutane and spironolatone. I have been to Tijuana and got permanent fillers.....thermage.......microdermabrasions......subscion.......co2 laser resurfacing.....more fillers and my skin is still scarred. Isologen came and went and other treatments also.It is hard to change years of evolution of the human body. The skin does a terrible job healing when you cut your skin or have acne scars.
One of my good friends does needling treatments on his own for acne scars. He uses a 28 gauge hyperdermic insulin needle and dips the tip in Humalog Insulin while penetrating the scar. It's a very time consuming task, but some of the results were insane. I know the insulin part is to help reduce the possibility of the body opting for the preferred accelerated healing process resulting in a fibrous tissue as the composition.
Insulin helps regulate the healing process, but I feel like it has something to do as well with collagen regeneration.

If you have acne scars like on your picture, so you can't treat them one by one.
How I wish that at least there is something goodto wait for in the near future. I am going through a nightmare right now regarding my skin, so I wait for a miracle to happen. But it doesnt seem like it. I guess the timing is off - in the future acne and scars will be eliminated. But for me those two things have basically ruined my life. What happened to the tests we have been waiting for anyway??? No news, nothing. This is so depressing. Sorry if I am sounding negative, but right now my life is very, very difficult.
Fu***** scientists - how hard can it be to create something that help our skin grow without scars?!! We are on our way to Mars for Gods sake, the humans seem to be able to create crazy stuff. But not anything tohelp the biggestpart ofthe human body - the skin. Seriously, I am not impressed with how the progress is going. I have been looking up this thread for years onlyto be disappointed. So why bother.

When I watch this video I can not understand why there is not more progress regarding acne treatment. If I am right, they are now able to create and produce each persons own stem cells and fat. Why arent this now considered a breakthrough regarding acne treatment? They are able to re-create womens boobs, but can not fill in acne scars?
I seriously think acne sufferers need their own organization, like patients of other illness have. An organization like that would have fought for our rights and helped getting some progress going on.
A competitor company Antria has developed a similar technology to the Celution which is now in a Phase 2 study for facial fat grafting, so undoubtedlywe will have this available to us in the next 2years or so. Also once the Celution technology is approved for scleroderma im sure u will be able to find doctors that will use it off-label to treat acne scars. It's just unfortunate that this treatment is not available to us yetwhereas most other advanced countries its been around for years...

I'm really upset about the John Hopkin's dextran hydrogel as well. I remember when I started posting here a little over 2 years ago there was a lot of hope and anticipation for it. It is the only thing to date that has fully healed a mouse's skin without a scar.... it was gonna be tested on larger animals like pigs, and then I don't know what happened. Does anyone know? lol Did they have success with the pigs, I'm still not sure. Do they plan on testing it on humans by Spring of this year, which I think I read somewhere? I would even be willing to do the clinical trials if I could. I just wish they kept the small public that is actually interested updated on their progress.
I also miss Seabs135's posts haha, he always managed to keep me hopeful.

I'm still here, it is just I currently don't see the point in repeating the factsfor new readers if they keep getting lost and wasted in the noise of other information, infothat has nothing to do with complete regeneration. It is like a constant fire fight, it gets tiring. Btw nothing has changed in the facts. There is absolutely nothing to be upset about the JH hydrogel, the documents do not change. I think they are moving to human tests this year?

I hope they move to human tests this year! I don't see why this would take so long to be honest. If it works, it works. I also hope that if it does work, they quickly put this on the market. I know people spend a lottt of money on scar reduction with lasers and creams and whatnot, and I'm sure doctors aren't gonna want to lose that money.

Guys we need to really up the game here a bit. I'm assuming the worst acne scar sufferers are on this thread, right? And in a few months it will be 10 years this thread began. Most of the FDA "studies" and products you guys are discussing are promising results 10 years from now. So really that means 20. Which means approximately 2030 when we'll see a product that will actually deal with the pitted scars. My bro has been getting laser, with fillers and microneedling and I gotta say it's done shit all and his scarring is minimal compared to mine.
Just face it we're fucked. Grow a beard like i've done, it hinds most of my worst scars except the ones around the temple area are really bad. Thing is, the scars actually get way worse as you age and your face has less collagen in it.
I mean I have no idea cause there are like three levels at which this would be needed to attacked. 1) there's just the unevenness of the skin 2) there's the huge build up of scar tissue which is why if you actually surgically lift the scar it still looks really bad cause that skin that's lifted is all scar tissue --trye of hypo scars as well and then 3) there's the huge loss of volume that scars creat (or the buildup of skin and hypo scar tissue) which I don't even know how it would be removed like with a scalpel but how does that then not leave a new scar?
So 2030 is the date which interestingly coincides with when Dr. Ray Kurzweil argues the first true nano-technologies will be applied in medical practice. Fascinating because it would require just that sort of radical paradigm shift for something that even begins to address acne scars on a holistic level.
