You need to do your own research into the safety profiles of the various acne scar treatments. For instance, Sculptra as recommended above has a dubious safety profile. Excerpt from a dermatologic surgeon;
Sculptra belongs in the trash not your face
In 2000, at the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris, Pierre Andre reported cystic, nodular, and granulomatous lesions when this agent was used in individuals with normal immune functioning (non-HIV+ patients). Additionally, long-term allergic reactions have since been described, which are very difficult to manage. In another report concerning its aesthetic use in 100 patients with normal immune functioning, 20% of the treated individuals experienced significant adverse reactions. Obviously, this product is not immunologically inert as the manufacturer stated. Foreign body granulomas are being seen with this agent in HIV-positive as well as immunocompetent patients.
While the manufacturer as well as investigators claim this product produces neocollagenesis or new collagen this is not what is seen under the microscope. On biopsy one sees a severe immune reaction to the product.
There's a lot of quackery going on with sculptra, mainly the claim of neocollagenesis and its safety.
Did you state your Opinion also at Realself?
It is one Opinion among 100 positiv Reviews.
More defacement of my posts from a thin skinned mod (beautifulambition). Go ahead and quote my posts without the context. Stop hiding behind your made up rules arbitrarily enforced in your favor. Stop this harassment now! Your mod is not an instrument for you to dictate the narrative of every single post to conform to your narrow ideals of what constitutes sound advice.
