The elevators in my apartment has those overhead spot lights and are decored with mirrors. Each time I walk in those elevators, the light just reveals all my icepick and rolling scars on my cheeks,which are not very noticeable under some good lightening. It just somehow feelsgross to see my rugged face in those mirrors and sometimes it just ruins my day.
It is weird that I've never realized how bad my skin is in those mirrors before I've started paying attention on my skin.
I've tried not to looked at my face in those mirrors, but I just cannot stop me from doing that for some reason that I don't know. I know it is a torture.
I think I'm kinda mentally ill because I spend too much time on my skin and cannot stop thinking of it. Sometimes I will ask myself how I look like for others, and ask will they see my rugged face like I see myself.
I was very confident before I started paying attention on my skin even though my skin was worse at that time. I really hope I can re-gain all my confidence, but it seems like I have a long way to go.
You can see how bad my skin from my previous post

Or I'm also thinking to replace Fraxel Restore with RF Needling? Will RF needling be safe in my case? What's the real difference between these 2 treatments then?
Quoted from your other post. Here's a brief difference between RF and Laser.
- RFheats tissues usingthe lower frequency waves, making itsafe topenetrate down to the deeper level.
- Laser, for the most part, uses the higher-frequency waves and ismore ideal for skin surface.
If you're prone to hyperpigmentation, you should use RF energy devices and not laser. Your doctor doesn't sound competent when it comes to scars.

Haven't you learned anything from the "Black Lives Matter" protests? Nobody should bedefined by their skin color. Nor should anyone define one's worth by his or her scars. Look forward to the "new you" and start your treatments.
