Hi,
I had acne for about give years and now it's all gone but has left behind deep scars. I'm really ashamed of my skin now and am willing to do anything to remove these awful scars. People often suggest dermabrasion or dermarolling but I can't really afford it. Can you guys please help out. I'll owe you big time
Dermarolling, done at home, is actually very affordable and can be a good remedy for scars. Check out the owndoc website for prices. You could start by home needling and perhaps use that time to not only improve your skin, but also to save money. Then you will have the funds available, if in the future you decide you need additional treatments. Depending on your scarring and expectations, you might be happy with just the collagen induction therapy. Take every precaution when it comes to DIY treatments. Research the subject until you feel knowledgeable and very comfortable with it. If you have questions...come on here and ask. You will find that there are a lot of people here willing to help and encourage you. And remember needling is a slow process which can take 4-18+ months to show results, so be patient and try to be positive. It took me 6 months to see improvement, but it was well worth the wait.

Really??? I didn't know that the NHS covered those procedures. That's pretty cool! And it's how health care should be. I'm in South Jersey (USA). I'm not sure where the OP is from. Just curious, does the NHS cover things like facelifts, fillers, and Botox too? Where do they draw the line between what is necessary health care and what is cosmetic enhancement?
msm cream is going to be my next try

Technically, all of the above treatments you mentioned, and the ones I mentioned, are all cosmetic. The NHS don't cover cosmetic, HOWEVER... If you are depressed, and it is effecting you emotionally then that is another story. I went to the doctors and told them how my scars effect me, then I was transferred to a plastic surgeon without any fuss.
If your overweight, and that is effecting you, the NHS can help with treatment/surgery too. I'm not advising anyone to abuse the system, but the NHS is there if needed, knowing your rights is important :).
