Hi! Trying to figure out the best course of action while researching doctors who would be best able to help my scars. I am based in NYC if anyone has a specific recommendation btw, though currently looking towards making an appointment with Dr. Khrom in Brooklyn. I basically would love some insight here before seeking out doctors as I know there are a few laser-happy places
I am guessing that Im about a Grade 3 in terms of scarring. Ive been using Retin-A, snail mucin, niacinamide 10%, sunscreen, and azelaic acid generally in varying combos for regime. Been using a Dermapen every 5 weeks since the beginning of February (so done it about 3x so far) at 2-2.25mm. Which Im realizing now is too rough on my skin so will be dialing that back to 1.5mm for my next bout (also switching over to the Derminator)
From what Im seeing, it looks like subcision (cannula?) for a few sessions is my best bet. Are mine bad enough that I should consider laser treatment at any point?
Thank you all in advance!
@gomtangThanks for posting the pictures, that helps.
You don't need subcsision, ... you have textural or superficial scarring.
I see many box cars, icepicks, linear and textural scarring.
