I have beenreading this thread for a while and it seems that most people here are creating false hope with these new 'scarregeneration' techniques on the market. Almost all of the new procedures that were mentioned here do not even mention the treatment of pre-existing scars, butrather, a method for achieving a means toreduce scarring orregenerate tissue at the time of wound healing or a entirely different cosmetic issue. Looking through all the newly proposed treatments mentioned here since 2007 don't even mention its use on the type of scars we are trying to treat.
I am not saying that it is not possible - I'm actually a firm believer that one day any scar (new and old) can be eradicated in the future. However, what many of you here seem to be doing is trying to grasp on to unrealistic expectations fuelled by an inability to accept thatright now, although a lot of advancements have been achieved, we may still have a long way to go. New wounds have only just been thoroughlyresearched to regenerateon animals - not humans. Please just stop creating unjustified conclusions that whatever treatment that is coming up is going to work on whatever you are going to treat. 95% of the treatments brought up here never mentioned acne scars or pre-existing scars.
I may be wrong and if I am - I apologise. But this is just what I have gathered from reading here

That is because acne scar is not a big enough market for multi billion dollar investment. There are already treatments out there that gives 80% improvement...not impossible to achieve 100% from here on.

Sorry -i'm not sure if I can agree with you here
Scar free healing has only really gathered serious momentum in the past 10 years and sadly its probably being driven because of how lucrative the market is now given its current treatments are largely underwhelming rather than being propelled bypeople who genuinely care about ending scars. This is not an easy fix its going to take time. It could be less than 2years it could be more than 10 its just a guessing game at the end of the day.
Constant speculation is just part of this forum and it fuels discussion. We all have different opinions and levels of hope.
This thread is for the discussion of scarless healing techniques, period. Regardless of anyone's interest or disinterest these techniques will keep being posted. In my posts I've done nothing but present facts, scientific journals and support for my technique of choice that pertains to the subject, and I have repeatedly said to take it with a grain of skepticism. All I've seen so far are replies that are, to be honest, dumb and reminiscent of someone who just wants to negate the topic based on his own pessimism or some deeper insecurities than even some have on the forum. Life's better without scars, but it doesn't end with it. I'd be doing my own thing till i get the info on the success/failure to remove scars as usual. Ciao.

Yet available treatments remain insufficient for many users. I view TCA CROSS and subcision as solid options, but wasting thousands of dollars on disappointing results is still very possible. Those treatments must also be spaced out for proper healing. The treatment process can take years. And it sounds like the options aren't good for the stretch mark folks either.
Until better treatments hit the market, interest in this topic will remain. And while I generally agree that some skepticism is important, David has been quite reasonable.

The only thing you fail to notice that we humans are indeed animals too.

I have had a lot of treatments...i think they made my face worse.You have to be careful in these after pictures because your skin swells up after a lot of treatments and it looks like your scarring has went away.Then when the swelling goes down the scars return....that is what happened after my Co2 laser resurfacing. Maybe if they had something that would give that swelling appearance to last instead of getting rid of the scars.....it would give the appearance that your scars are gone.

Very interesting, So encouraging, but how to apply this to old scars...

Yes it could be possibly done to individual scars, but i someone f.e. has zones with lots of scars, f.e. left cheek, i wonder how would they adress this, but for some individual scars this could be interesting
