Kay24 86 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Especially if the sunlight is shining from behind you. Standing directly under dim yellowish light bulbs makes my scars look really bad too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhole 1 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) How much pressure did you use suctioning? just as much as you could tolerate pain wise? or is there a thing as too much suction? Edited May 12, 2015 by jhole Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tadamasa 48 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hey Robertitoo congrats on your results, your skin looks awesome. I have a question, how did your scars respond when you microneedled before you had the subcision? I personally did not see much improvement from just dermastamping alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertitoo 311 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Hard to say, but my shallow boxcars did show improvement after around 6 microneedling sessions. Microneedling is something I will definitely keep doing for the rest of my life though I will say that. It's much efficient and easier with a automated stamp though. How much pressure did you use suctioning? just as much as you could tolerate pain wise? or is there a thing as too much suction? 2-3 pumps. Works best on damp skin! Didn't hurt, I though I would because the subcision made my face feel very sore. Edited May 14, 2015 by Robertitoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay24 86 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Wow, congrats on the results! Super smooth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertitoo 311 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 2 month mini update: 70++% Improvement and it seems to keep getting better and better every week! I highly suggest everyone try the subcision suction method as well as throwing in some microneedling for extra benefits for rolling and even boxcar scarring before going any other route. I can see myself achieving 90%+ results or even complete scar resolution in the future. Really? Well, I figure since some of my uglier scars never resurfaced, and the ones that did are 100x less shallower, that it's totally possible. 4 keys to my success aggressive subcision (undermine every scar on your face) aggressive microneedling (2.0mm+) persistent and consistent suctioning (when following the 2 week protocol) and patience (1-6+ months) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d00little 7 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Roberitoo, great thread. Can I ask what your microneedling schedule was like for the first 2 weeks after subcision, as well as afterwards? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertitoo 311 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Roberitoo, great thread. Can I ask what your microneedling schedule was like for the first 2 weeks after subcision, as well as afterwards?

Emhfali 0 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) @robertitoo: thanks! after going through your thread again..is there any particular reason why you're using this kangzhu chinese cupping set? there are dozens of cupping sets out there, even smaller and hand-friendly ones specifically for facial cupping. all these sets seem to have the same or a similar working pump though. in what point differs this chinese set from the other ones? smaller cups? ..unfortunately it is not available in my country at the moment..
