Hi guys, I'm new to the forums here.
I've had acne since I was 18 when I first went to college, I am 20 now and I still get breakouts here and there.
The problem isn't the acne itself, well maybe a bit because of the scarring it causes.
The problem are these scars that haven't gone away.
I had fraxel (restore I believe) January 10th, and it is now February 4th and I still haven't seen results.....
I have a bit of back acne as well that comes and goes, but there are scars on my back, and I have a bit of acne on my chest that's still bright red.
The acne scars on my face are what bothers me.
I do not want to go on Accutane because 6 months is too long and then another 6 months post accutane in order to get scar treatments.
I'd rather just do scar treatments and control my acne.
I need advice, these scars are so annoying, I miss having perfect skin, what should I do????
Should I go with Fraxel Repair? Or should I try a new approach?
Btw, these are pics of my acne scars:
Your photos are so grainy, it's hard to tell whether the scars are mere hyperpigmentations or craters. If former, they'll gradually go away in time; if latter, they're here to stay (unless you opt to get them removed surgically).
But, man, don't confuse blotches like hyperpigmentation with them indelible scars like pits or craters. Seriously!
