Hey everybody,
I have been dermastamping my raised (hypertrophic and not keloid) scars for a while now and I'm not sure I see an improvement yet, however I've read different sites saying different things regarding this matter... anyone knows for sure of some scientific proof that it is good/bad to do it?
On one hand I've read that it is good:

On another that it is bad:

So... what should I do?
I ain't no expert but I believe the needles are more beneficial for wrinkles and indented scars like acne pits. Be that as it may, I too have marginally raised scars around my jawline that I've been treating with a diabetic needle (basically poking the scars in different directions). While they're not entirely gone, I do see improvement from before.

Interesting, maybe I could try to use the dermastamp from the side of the hypertrophic scar.. Why did you choose to do this? 
Hi Julian,
I've found some intense massaging has been helping my hypertonic scar that is a few years old. I've been looking into eventually getting excised perhaps. I've been reading this link: http://www.drsamlamfaceforum.com/topic695.html
Is excision an option for you?

Hello Sydboi,
I am not sure what excision is, is it kind of like subcision?
