Dont lay down immediately after taking it or do anything physically strenuous. Plan to take it 30-60 minutes before a meal.

in which pics ? the ones i posted today? the before? or after? or ? i mean, thanks, but i dont see it that way ..i see people who break out more than i used to that dont scar, then again i used to pick EVERY single pimple as a teen because i thought it helped, not knowing what scarring was.

In both the before and after. You can see the difference but even before your skin looked good. I know what you mean about the picking, I used to pick at everything and now have weird scars everywhere. But seriously, as someone looking from the outside your skin is great.

thanks it just sucks because these photos really dont show how bad the scarring is. at certain angles and lighting it looks so bad ..
Hey guys i just wanted to say this ...guevara, beautifulambition, somethingsomething,AI3forever, blahblah, quanhenry, and everyone else who has commented on this. Thank you. i know maybe to you guys its not bad but in certain angles/lighting it is really bad. i do have scarring, my issue is being able to accept it and being thankful its not worse because majority of the population has NO scars at all. i keep comparing myself to others wishing i had their skin...i see others with acne and wonder how come they have red marks/ pigmentation and not actual scarring. i keep IMAGINING MYSELF WITH SCARLESS SKIN IN MY HEAD. ive driven my girlfriend crazy and she is still waiting for me to come back to her, back to "us".i keep wishing i can go back and change the way i treated my acne, treated it sooner. i quit my job 5 months ago to focus on school, and since i have made ZERO income, failed all my classes,and i am currently spending money on procedures. Before, i would work graveyard shift and go to school after work in the morning and get home at 4pm . sleep from 5 pm to 9 pm and go back to work. i was acing all my classes back then and almost got fired from my job for having sex with random customers in the bathroom and getting head in the parking lot after customers left the store. Now, i have SEVERE anxiety daily because of my scarring. It's interesting because even before i had these same scars looking back at photos but i never NOTICED THEM.
All i want to say is, i know this is part of emotional and psyciological effects of acne, but i wanted to THANK ALL OF YOU for trying to help me and give me supportive advice. I am seing a therapist and on medication for panic and anxiety issues along with OCD so im hoping it will help..as far as my journey goes, i have an appt on wednesday for another subcision and this time tca on my nose

You need to go to this doctor. He's the only one that can fix your face.
having sex with random customers in the bathroom? Gross. That's way less attractive than any scar on your face. You should get tested for stds instead of spending money at the dermatologist.
jus got my 2nd subcision done today guys..i have to say this one is already making me unhappy and unsatisfied. last time, i had bruising and swelling that lasted a few days. THIS time, i literally have no swelling or bruising..just redness and scabs ...i even felt like the dr rushed it this time as i dont even think he did work on one of my biggest scars near my goatee on the right side of my face!!!
should i be worried guys?? look at how it looks...you can nearly see the scars right after procedure.

well only been 3 days out of 2nd one i think ia start sctioning starting day 4 i didnt suction after first subcision. it probably doesnt help i smoke cigs and eat unhealthy tho
No wonder you say every new pimple you get is leaving a tiny scar. For optimal skin healing smoking is a big no no. I'm really surprised you're taking the risk of possibly sabotaging your treatments. Among other consequences it's depleting your vit C needed to help build collagen. You may need to take a break from tackling your scars and focus on the more important things first. If you can get your physical and mental health fixed up you may start to see your scars for what they are (relatively minor). Not trying to lecture you. Smoke if you want it just doesn't pair well with treating acne scars and wound healing. You have to choose it's either one or the other. Without proper nutrition and no smoking you may create new scars by treating your existing ones.
your skin looks great. relax brother

its really difficult for me to quit as a smoker for 10 years i tried using nicorette gum patches with no success i can quit but on day 4-5 i get really bad diahrea with stomache pains head aches etc and i have the ultimate craving for nicotine. eating healthy is hard for me too as im really skinny and if i eat healthy no matter how much i eat if its all healthy i lose even more weight. i think ive developed some new scarring too, so i think your right. this is probably why im seeing no results.

I'm shocked that you are a smoker since you are so paranoid about your scars and your looks. Smoking is so bad for your skin and your teeth, in addition to the plethora of health problems. It could disfigure you much more than minor acne, if it doesn't kill you first
