1st time Subcision for Acne Scarring

AcneScarGuy · 2019-09-01T16:14:58Z

Hi there guys, I have been lurking around this acne forum and also the real self forum. So I want to give something back in return for all the information here. Background, I went for infini RF and it did NOTHING for my deeply anchored tethered scar. The doctor I went to did not use angled lighting to look at my acneÂ scar and when I suggested subcision, he brushed me aside saying it is invasive and laser is a well known treatment which works wonder. I am still sore because I spent quite a bit of moneyÂ and suffered for it. I probably collected a few hundred photos on it with much disappointment. Now, 1 year later, I am older and wiser, I went to a doctor whom I did a background check that he is open to the suggestion of subcision. But I ignored all the upselling of subcision + laser or special ointment for recovery. I asked for filler to prevent the scar from tethering back but he suggested some sculptra thingy which is very expensive. It will rebuild collagenÂ but will NOT prevent the scar from being glued back. I opted for the 2nd best, which is some salmon dna thingy because there was an offer. It does not make sense if the scars get tethered down again but I have the trick up my sleeves after reading the forum here. After the subcision, I went home and order a chinese cupping set for $10 and tested the suctioning on the left side of my face occasionally. It left me with extended bruising for more than a week but it prevented the scars from being glued back! You can see the left side has less depression. There are a few downsides of subcision, because it left some lumps but I massaged them with cheap Vaseline everyday and they diminishes. I am assessing the situation and would probably do it once my face recovered. It is only a month since I last subcised.Â Attached is the before and after. Do you think it would be a good idea to post my journey on Youtube?Â I understand that a Youtube celebrity likeÂ Â Davin Lim probably won't see this, but I am camera shy and probably need some guidance on talking on Youtube about my face, and the embarrassment and shame I feel.

Hey AcneScarGuy- did you use Rejuran S or a different type of Rejuran? I know Rejuran S is made especially for acne scars but I haven't been able to find much info on people using that specific type of the filler. I guess in Singapore (and maybe SK?) there are laws about the before and after pictures you can post so there aren't too many pictures online. How long did the filler last? Did you get it topped up this last time?
This documentation is very helpful- I loved your new video

I did not use any fillers. I use the suction method so the body fills in the gap naturally.

Oh nice ok, thanks for the reply!

You didn™t get filler with the first subscision either? In your first entry on this post you said something about salmon dna but I must have just got confused. I™m American and I can™t find much from people who got the salmon filler so that made me curious

Your progress looks so great by the way! Even cooler you didn™t have to spend the money using filler to get those results

To clarify

#1 Collegen Simulant - It get absorbed into your body and help simulate collegen. Salmon DNA serum is such. It does not support the depressed scar.

#2 Filler - It is almost permanent. It is like those breast implants which lift up the skin.

I had #1 to simulate collegen so that it can fill in the gaps in between my skin faster.

Instead of Skin Needling I would say RF Microneedling

Looks like a few of your scars are the ideal candidate for tca cross.
