Hi fellow community members. On Tuesday December 29th 2020, I saw Dr. Sajic for TCA Cross on my rolling scars, V-Cannula Subcision with tumescent anesthesia, Lutronic eCO2 (I will update with the settings used once I get that info) & subdermal filler + meso-style application of Radiesse immediately after the Lutronic eCO2. Total sum with taxes was $3.7K CAD. Skin type 3.5/4. I was told they discounted $1K.Â In office treatments I have done in the past are listed below: 3 Blunt Cannula SubcisionÂ with overly diluted saline and sculptra with Dr.Lemckert (Dissatisfied with the practitioner, Dr.Lemckert from Hamilton Ont, so can only speak so much on effectiveness) 2 Blunt Cannula Subcision with radiesse with Dr.Sajic 3 Infini RF Sessions at Medispa in TO 1 Profractional session at Medispa in TOÂ At home treatments I have done in the past are listed below: Innumerous derminator sessions with hyaluronic acid Regular Skincare Routine Includes: PM: Cycling of Hydroquinone 2%,Â prescription-based micro-retinal,Â squalene oil if i'm feeling very dry, triple lipid restore cream from Skinceuticals, aquaphor, cerave, etc AM: CE Ferulic from Skinceuticals, Vivier Grenzine (Adding this after i'm back to my skincare routine),Â mineral sunscreen, Cetaphil moisturizer Feedback of treatment:Â Dr.Sajic did a punch biopsy on a pitted scar on each side of my cheek to insert the v-shape cannula for subcision. I do currently have suturesÂ that will probably be taken out next Tuesday during follow-up but not 100% on that. What struck me most was the difficulty Dr.Sajic had to break up some of my bigÂ adhesions with the v-shape cannula - very forceful tugging to break up.Â When I asked him about this and why it was so difficult compared to cannula, he informed me that the v-shape cannula can break up bigger adhesions versus theÂ bluntcannula which breaks up smaller adhesions. -Â this point has definitely made me considerÂ choosing v-shape cannula for future subcisions.Â While Dr. Sajic offers the liberator full field subcision, he believes the difference in finalÂ result between the v-shape cannula and the liberator is insignificant, especially given the higher risks associated with the liberator. The liberator is also much larger in size than the v-shape cannula and would require a larger incision. So lots of things to consider. I was happy with my choice of radiesse until I read a post on here that radiesse is not great for immediate post-subcision application since it's a subdermal filler and not the best spacer... but here's to hoping the tumescent anesthesia and the other treatments areÂ also acting like a spacer...Â Feedback on multiple treatments in one day: I'm now thinking this is probably ideal for acne scar revision, especially after witnessing how difficult it was for Dr.Sajic to break up some of my scar adhesions, even with the v-shape cannula.Â Bigger recovery required but so far I think it's worth it.Â Rando pre-treatment photo in Aug 2020. This is prior toÂ Infini #2 (08-29-2020), Infini #3 (09-24-2020), 1 Radiesse & Subcision (10-29-2020), 1 Profractional (12-02-2020) and obviously the session on 12/29 Â Â Â Â Pre-Treatment Photos with Dr.Sajic on 12/29 Â Â Â Post-Treatment (Today - Dec 31st): I still have a ton of tumescent anesthesia in my face and won't be vinegar soaking til tomorrow. Staying away from the sun (what little of it we have in Ontario). I definitely think i'll be doing another CO2 in the future - if only for the resurfacing potential... but obviously also too early to say since i'm only 2 days out.Â Will continue to update. Â
