Thank you for your reply. Do you think they are large pores then only they look like scars when i look in the mirror. If i pull my skin down they almost go shiny looking scarred tissue if that makes any sense? Sorry its hard to describe what i see in the mirror. Some area look like they have indents that are much larger than large pores but its hard to capture it in a way that looks like what i see.

There is a tutorial how to take a pic with indirect lighting in the faq 😉 If it's bad texture your choices are laser or TCA peels., this does nothing for ice picks that need TCA Cross. You can Do TCA peels at home if you wish the tutorial is in the faq, also you can buy your own microneedle machine for the cost of one treatment, it's called the derminator, you derminator, wait till that heals (once a month) then do a TCA peel. I don't see any atrophy so it's textural. If you need filler for age a derm or injector can do that.

Thank you i will have a good look at that. It is a big texture issue. I do have a couple of deep scars but its these ones in the photo that bother me its from squeezing and messing with minor bumps on my face years ago and i didnt realise the damage i had caused until i saw my reflection in bad lighting a few months ago. Now it is all i see.

Have you tried retin a?

I havn't to be honest. Do you think it would help?

Yes retin a would help the texture, I use it nightly. He is right start with this. You can buy it on ebay. Then you can do TCA once that does not work. I forget the creams sometimes as so many have tired C and Retin A or accutane before the embark on the scars. Retin A would be smart first, thanks Quan.

Great thank you. I will try that first then. Thank you both for your advice i appreciate it.

Yea retin a would be a good starting point. It is good for improving texture, and your skin isn't damaged enough to go for harsh treatments. TCA peel would probably be your second step if you aren't happy with the retin a.

Good luck.

Thank you for your advice. I will hold off on derma pen then and try retin a and if that fails then tca. How long should i expect to see results with retin a?

I'd give it 6 months. I use it nightly unless I am doing another treatment, then I stop for a few weeks and let things heal.

You can microneedle and retin a at the same time. He is saying from your pics, it's mainly textural issues so ... Retin A and TCA peels from what we can see is best.

Thats great thank you.

All 3 are probably good options. You could still do your dermapen sessions and use retina as much as your skin can tolerate.
