Hey, i was wondering what the best treatment is for my scars. I started getting cystic acne a little less than a year ago, which became worse and worse really quickly so i started accutane around a month after i started getting the cystic acne on my cheeks. I now have really bad scarring (i™m still on acutane and will be for probably over 6 months) and am looking into possible treatment to reduce them. I live in the netherlands where not a lot is possible to improve your skin, my dermatologist told me to just get it lasered which obviously isn™t gonna help my scarring.
I think i have both icepick and boxscars but also some rolling scars as well. After i finish accutane i will have to wait for half a year but after that time I really want to start treating the scarring because I feel disgusting with this skin. my left cheek is worse than my right one (more hyperpigmentation as well). I probably need subcision but i can™t get that done anywhere close to where i live and there™s quite a lot of risks from what i™ve read. I™m wondering if microneedling or tca cross will do anything for my scarring.
Actually your derm is right. Your scars are fresh, and shallow. Lasers, like CO2 or fraxel can give pretty good result for the redness, and stimulate collagen for healing. You CAN go for RF microneedling if you want to, or if can get access to it, but in my opinion, it isn't necessary.
Okay thank you. Ive looked into RF microneedling and as far as Ive seen on this forum people say its quite expensive? Ive found a place in my country that charges 1700 for 6 treatments. This seems a bit too good to be true? I dont know a lot about scar treatments but are theredifferent kinds of RF microneedling (which would explain why this might be cheaper)?
There is RF Microneedling with and without insulated Needles. Insulated meaning the energy/heat that the device gives off is focused on the tip of the needles only. Non-insulated microneedling rf devices produce heat along the entire length of theneedle, which, for example,CAN cause PIH in darker skin tones.
May I ask which country you are from as your currency is euro?
Before you jump into being treated by any doctor or nurse, you should educate yourself about acne scar treatments, preferably on here. Ask beautifulambition but you can also ask via post, although I doubt anybody will just list you all possible treatments ... Roam this forum, self-educate and ask questions.
And if you choose a place to be treated at eventually, do not shy away to ask them questions about your treatment.
Your scars are not severe at all.
