I'm a 30yr old female. I have had acne since I was 13 and it has been the curse of my life.In my teenage there were times I wouldn't leave house or wouldn't even have a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I have been thrice on accutane and now I suffer from lots of black n whiteheads and ofcourse the remaining scars on my cheeks. Around the periods I have few breakouts spcly around the jawline. Whenever I visit the derm.they ask me to take another 6 months of accutane but I don't want it due to moodswings and depressions. I have done 2 fraxcel lasers at a clinic and peels at my esthetcian's in the past and now I do 50% glycolic peels at home. I have also ordered 1 mm dermaroller and thinking of ordering copper peptides serum after readin abt it here.
I am thinking of going for subcision but it's pretty costly and I don't know if it will help my type of scars (I don't believe the doctors anymore as they just try to sell their own products). Could you guys pls help depending on their on experiences.
If you want results from needling, you need to get a 1.5 mm. The 1mm needles are too short and are only good for product penetration and very very shallow scaring. Yours are deeper so you need 1.5 or higher (I do not recommend 2mm or higher unless a professional is doing it). If your scars are tethered, rolling won't help. I know because it did nothing for my tethered scars but got rid of the untethered ones (after about a year or so of rolling-it's a long, long long process but totally worth it).
