hello everything

i am a 30 year old male with darker complexion.

i have ice-pick scars from acne during my teenage years. there are tiny little pits/scars spread throughout my face

whats the best way to get rid of them? I dont mind spending money if the treatment/solution can eliminate these scars forever

any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

I think only two things can truly improve ice pick scars : tca cross and some sort of excision.

I have ice-pick scars as well and if you think about it, they are usually way too deep for lasers/dermarolling/dermabrasion to work.

Bear in mind, neither tca cross nor excision is risk-free, but I believe it's the only way to improve ice-pick scarring.

If you have a lot of ice-pick scars, maybe you could just excise the worst ones?

Also, if you want to try excision you would have to find a skilled plastic surgeon, from what I've read.

You could post a picture if you want, it's easier to give advice that way :)

Don't do excision, it will make your scar look worst than before.

Theng, why are you saying this?

Have you tried excision?
