Due to acne scaring I have been battling to control the constant anxeity linguring in my headspace for the past 6 years. That being said I am very tired of being constantly stressed from this situation and learning to deal with it. Is there anything I can do that will honestly show significant results? I am open to any response.

Yes there are a ton of things you can do. Start with a round of subcision - needling - filler (or Restylane Vital/juvaderm hydrate) every 3-4 months perhaps?

Your scarring is not that bad and you're really good looking, try to fix all that anxiety and stuff in your head too if you can. I promise once you do your imperfections won't have this much power over you.

Good luck!

Thank you for your response! I usually do not let it get to me but it is definitely a constant battle for peace of mind. Like yesterday, I do have very low days that happen about one day of every 3 months so your advice/comments are much appreciated!

I know, it happens to us all... Sometimes it just gets to you. There is a ton of things you can do though. If you are on a budget I would start dermarolling with a 2 mm every 3-4 months (but can take up to 12 months to see results). But I saw best improvements from subcision and Juvaderm Hydrate (at the same time). It costs me maybe 350 every time (depends on how much you use).

However, unfortunately these stupid scars will probably always hang around. I find getting some improvements from treatments coupled with therapy and trying to love yourself as you are is a great way to combat the anxiety.

Let me know if you want to know anything else.

You are an angel. Thank you. Yeah, I am hopeful that technology will be able to one day fix these problems that the people on this site suffer with. That being said you are absolutely right when you say you have to accept yourself as you are in the present.
