well if this is the worst lighting I recommend to forget about it. Not worth it. But if you are still willing to do something - TCA cross, peels. Lowest concentrations.

its nothing dude

Hi all, 

 

Long time lurker, wondering what the thoughts are around my scars, what treatments do you guys recommend. This is at the worst possible lighting.

 

 

Agree this is the worst probable lighting to highlight scars, maybe sunlight would be worse too but whenever shadows are at play on any scarring or any sort of shinyness it looks far worse than in normal lighting.

You have superficial sort of scattered icepicks but mostly texture. Truth is, at least in my opinion, there's not a whole lot you can do for superficial scars without causing the risk of terrible outcomes/worsening, that's why I would probably just keep the beard and try to get on with life if you ask me. I do generally the same thing.

TCA cross is hit or miss, if you try it as Candy suggests, I highly recommend you demand the doctor only do 1 spot to test the outcome over a month. If it doubles in size, you're not going to want to revisit the forums saying you had 15 spots done if you know what I mean.

Other than that, I might agree that you could try a peel for texture, low concentration. Remember, as you age a lot of that texture is normal sadly. It gets liney, wavey a little and so on.

@harmlessboy1441and @Candy Saysappreciate the input! Will be looking at a series of VI peels to help the texture and see how that helps.
