Hi everyone,

I had a severe cystic breakout 7 months ago and have been on isotrtinoin for a bit over 4 months now. 

I wanted to do some research for some scar treatments and was wondering what you all thought would work best?

Subcision first then go with erbium yag laser since they are fresh go with lasers. Also if you can find a good dr performs tca cross you would give it a try.

if you have money dont waste time, get them quickly treated, they are still fresh so they can heal better than old nasty scars.

Thanks for the reply! I've spoken to one of the few doctors who do subcision in my town and she was thinking subcison with prp along with profractional laser or halo.

I'm wondering what the consensus is on scar treatment during/after accutane? Do people here think the earlier the better or 6 months post?

If anyone has personal experience that would be great!

basing from your photo I can see more of boxcar scars and icepick scars¦ in my opinion a dermabrasion or an ablative co2 laser will benefit you more than subcision¦.in my opinion subcision does wonders for rolling and wavy scars or very deep and wide scars ( which you don™t really have) but dermabrasion or co2 laser are better for boxcar scars and blurring scar edges¦.I had both procedures done¦

I think the combination or dermabrasion/ablative CO2 laser (boxcar scars) and phenol cross/tca cross(icepick scars- also had this procedures) will benefit you the most¦.though I am not really a fan of phenol/tca cross bec. they have the tendency to worsen scars but some see good results from it¦¦goodluck!
