Congrats on the amazing improvement. I've been following this thread for years. I honestly couldn't help but tear up because now I actually do believe acne scar can be treated. You're an inspiration Shei. I hope you've been healing up well after your phenol peel! I'm going to book an appt with Rullan for summer 2023 and begin this journey thanks to you.

Bu asamada kalici dolguya gecmemeyi dusunuyorum. Sadece gecici. Sivilce izleri konusunda deneyimli ve yetenekli birine ihtiyaciniz var. Asagi inip dr rullan'i gorebilirim, ancak bu asamada emin degilim, bu nedenle bazi La tabanli oneriler harika olurdu.
If you don't mind money, I recommend Salar Hazany.
I was going to post pics but then looked at them and wanted to kill myself so probably not a good idea

No I haven™t that™s why I feel this way. I™ve been too broke to afford treatment and that™s the only thing that makes me feel better

I see a lot of improvement and that™s me being honest. I know it™s annoying af to hear because I™ve been told the same thing but at some point it™s a mental health thing.
Like i said the edge is what keeps improving in scar revision and a little bit of depth. so the thing is depth is not leveled is the edges that keeps on slanting and this is where fillers come in. I was seeing a video from dr h and he said that no matter how many cannula subcision you do. this will never equate to a single session of taylor liberator. This could be true if not all tethers are broken in each session of cannula. Have you ever thought of doing taylor subcision? @shei514

Agreed, we always compare our results to pre acne scarring face and become dissatisfied. the fact is we should be looking at the picture from the start of the procedure to current picture.
no, really. I am trying to have an average Joe's point of view. You have a few pimples and that's it.
I remember when I was working on my insecurities with a therapist and she asked me to show her this forum. She LOLed pretty hard at everyone's perceptions of their skin. It's an absolute fact - average person doesn't see your skin the way you do.
It is probably the best skin I have seen on this forum for like a month. Agreed with getsmart121 as well, do subcision when you will be ready.

I will tell you something, previously i never used to think about height as i never looked at it because my height is 6ft. So i used to think everyone thinks the same way. But its not true people who are short they are highly insecure about it. I never thought and looked at it because I had been blessed with it. In this temporary life each one is batting their own insecurities, thats another debate which insecurity is more worse. Same way people who never suffered from scars never look at it the way we do because they are not lacking that. If the people who suffer from scars and are harsh are saying it looks minimal for your scars then believe it is minimal. Yes there would be always those lighting that would showcase the scar. Again when people talk they look in your eye and not skin. we are making it come to the point where it is hidden when talking.

This is true. I never cared about skin but once I got obsessed with my face and scars its all I think of. I was looking at old pics feeling sorry for myself like always and came across a picture I had with a friend. My friend has acne scars all over his face and had active cystic acne. But I NEVER noticed his face until that moment when I was looking back and over analyzing everyones skin.

yes the only people that we should shield ourselves are the acne scarrers as those are the people that are harsh on the skin looking for flaws.

Whats bothering you the most about your skin at this point? How much improvement do you think youve seen overall since day 1 of phenol? I think focusing on the positives can also help lift you up a bit.
There's an acne scar community on Instagram that helped me get more positive about this. There are scarred individuals out there living their best life and it makes me feel less alone.
I've been brutalized by the public for my scarring so I do understand the struggle. I hope we all can find peace. We don't deserve hell over our skin, there's more to us than that.

I have seen improvement from the peel for sure but think I need a second one given the severe nature of my scarring. However I do not think my boxcars on the right side will ever go away unless I can find a doctor competent in punch excision and even then who knows.

I don't think there's a name. Once you start following a few accounts the algorithm picks up the tags and you get recommendations. A lot of people follow each other and you start to notice overlap so that's why I call it a community. katies_skin is one that has been referenced here. I'm a little hesitant to post profiles but some include princessacne94, mariah.x.o.x, hashtagskin, theblemishqueen, yoellanygren, cystur. There's a lot of accounts, a lot of healing, accutane journeys, scar journeys, just all around positivity and people living life with acne and scarring.

Do you think your boxcars have improved at all from the phenol? On the cheek and otherwise?

They are softer and blended a bit more into the skin and their edges are softer but their shape remains. This is after 30k at least worth of treatment so I doubt they will disappear. I have had laser resurfacing, the phenol, etc performed on them and they are still there so either I accept the damage is permanent or try other treatment methods like excision and I know a lot of people in this thread are very curious about excision too. I still think I can gain more improvement with them.

Just a random question but did any of your doctors think any sort of careful dermabrasion (like even in certain spots) would help or is your situation either for texture or leftover scars, just too complicated as in underneath as well because dermabrasion can expose/aggravate underneath trauma sometimes is my guess based on what my old doctor said but idk.
I hate how my left side looks in harsh lighting too. I come home and in my mirror in my bathroom I don't see my scars too poorly. Then I go in my car, tilt my head left and it looks bad. I totally hate it.
