Deeper cuts, lots of redness, bigger pores. My doctor claimed to be an "acne scar specialist" then found out she was manipulating her yelp reviews and removed all of her "acne scar specialist" BS proganda on her page.

And I don't think we're doomed and fated. We just have to be very cautious of these high energy devices and other invasive procedures. Less is definitely more when it comes to us acne scar sufferers. Our skin is not known to bounce back well. We have to be very cautious and alwaysmake sure the benefit outweighs the risk.

Sometimes it's best to take it slow and be patient with the more manual yet safer methods like microneedling and low concentrationtca. Subcision with only the most qualified of doctors since there is a level of trauma taking place. Time will handle the rest.

And sometimes the best treatment is none at all. If I only I knew what I know now.

It's the worst when you think you covered all your bases and found a true specialist, just to find out they've been manipulating their image. I've learned the hard way that a lot of these doctors are just plain sociopathic.

I made a post - I feel that if alot of us can research and work together, maybe we can find a much cheaper and alternative cure. I have alot of articles that I want to post that I feel MAYBE can help naturally! These doctors are scamming us!

Also, Microneedling is BS did a full year and a half and no results
