For the record, scars on my neck are mostly a few months old, scars on my face are older (5+ years) not sure the difference this makes, at first I thought it was just PIE, so I had a V beam done, which radically reduced the redness, here is a pic from before my first V beam (I had 2).
As the redness faded, I noticed that there actual texture changes and indentations. I am frankly pretty bummed out from this scarring, the more research I do, the more it seems this is a nightmare to improve compared to active acne, redness etc.
Any advice appreciated
Hey the scars on your face are very mild. I wouldnt do anything about it. - the scars on your neck seem more severe. You said they are a few month old and thats good so they will change. Only on two Pictures I see your neck scars. On the Other Pictures I dont See Them at all. I simply would do the basics. That is Drink a Lot of water and keep your skin moist by using cream. Try to stay Out of the sun. Your skin is very sensitiv after the inflammations. All the best.
For your neck, you can look into radiofrequency microneedling. I'm not a big proponent of RFM on the face as I haven't seen results from it through two treatments, but the neck may be different. Keep in mind that the neck has thinner skin which is not the best for all treatments.

thank you yes, these pics are the most unflattering angles I could produce, it's usually not that visible.

Thank you
Just another point, it seems that when I stretch them out, they are somewhat reduced except for 1 deep one. Does this mean that they are not tethered and will respond to Microneedling? Also, some of them seem to have hair growing normally out of them? Does this mean anything?
1 derm I spoke to recommended micron, another recommended filler
Just want some advice from vets before I commit to expensive treatments..

So RFmicroneedling would be superior to regular microneedling? Had a session of 1mm microneedling couple weeks ago, obv there isn't time to see results, but 1mm likely isn't going to do much from the reading i've done hence.

In theory, the radiofrequency energy is supposed to break up scar tissue better and cause more collagen re-formation.I'm not doubting the science, but does that mean you'll see results?We just have to go by what doctors tell us and the pictures they - and the device manufacturers -provide.
While I haven't seen noticeableresults on my own skin after a few treatments, I don't doubt that it can work on particular scars and patients. I kinda think it's a crapshoot.

I've heard that some doctors including Dr. Lim say that treating scars in their early stages is better.
Hello. So I had a consultation with Doctor Anil in London and he recommended RF microneedling, PRP and sub cision, I am a bit nervous of sub cision on my neck as the last thing I want is to dmage muscles/nerves and screw up my range of motion, however, I am going ahead with treatment this friday.
Does anyone have experiences with this dr orthis treatments? I want to treat my scars asap since I was informed that recent scarring responds to treatment better.
I'm a bit uncertain because I have trawled through this forum and others, and not found anyone that had scarring on their neck in a similar place to mine. I don't know if that means if this area will be less responsive or more responsive to this kind of treatment

At the end of the day I can cover it mostly with facial hair, but would pref not to if treatment is possible
This forum and others are so depressing. It seems the more you read, the more that these kind of scars are 100% impossible to significantly get rid of and you are just stuck like this forever. I would rather have another problem like obesity or hair loss which actually can be changed. 
Quite hard to be optimistic
Hello guys I had my first treatment today with doctor anil. He was friendly and informative, treatment went fine. It was Subcision, PRP and Infini. I would say it was very painful as I didn't really go that numb from either the cream or local anaesthetic but glad I did it. Atm I am very red and swollen so cannot see any scars at all. Will see the extent they return over the next few weeks before my second treatment.
Before and after (last 3 pics are after), this is my first treatment everfor scars. Am nottoo worried about the ones on my face tbh, they are pretty mild. The ones on just the left side of my neck I want to improve. Right side of neck is fine. I will keep updates in 4 weeks if interested, kr
Dr anil did not recommend filler for two reasons; no.1 RF needling may dissolve, no.2 filler on neck could be lumpy
I may get filler at a later stage if needed (most likely)
Been about a week, swelling and redness has mostly subsided and.... scars look the exact same
Is it normal for the treatment course I'm taking? Tere was no subcision, only infini prp and subcision.
Should I try find a filler somewhere? Does anyone know what filler is viable for the neck?
I also healed really fast. Downtime was not even 2days really.Redness andswelling went away really quick. Seems back to normal now. I'm not sure if that means treatment was not aggressive enough? it was really painful so more aggressive seems like a nightmare xD. (numbing cream did f all)
facial hair obscures it a bit obv
and they are still very red ! no one else's scars i've seen here look that red, nor on the neck
Almost 2 weeks post SubCision, Infini + PRP and my scars look the same if not WORSE than pre treatment. Feeling a bit hopeless, don't know if I'm on the right path with treatment. I know full results are not visible in 2 weeks, but I believe it shouldn't be gettng worse, and I hsould see some small improvement especially since my scars are only a few months old.
My doctor also tells me that this area is not suitable for filler which is also sad. Can anyone offer me any advice ?
