darkangel 0 Posted November 10, 2004 i having rolling scars all over my cheeks. to describe them, they arent individual indentations, but instead the scars are formed by a pattern of indented skin that covers my whole cheek. it seems to be shallow though. ill try and post pictures up so you can see what i mean. well, does anybody have any suggestions? microdermabrasion, needling, any peels? mya said her friend improved her rolling scars through the acv method but nobody else seems to be having improvement with the acv method. that s what i am currently using adn i was just wondering if there is anything better out there. last year, i saw this girl who had rolling scars, similar to mine. and now i see her with completely smooth and clear skin. yet, as much as i want to, and as much as i am dying to now what she did to her face, i cant bring myself to talk to her....it is just too awkward. so, i know there something out there that works, i just need to find it. just hoping you could help. thank you DA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldguy 0 Posted November 10, 2004 There was a thread just like this a while back. Just ask her! (tactfully and privately) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkangel 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Oh, but how could I? I think it is much harder for me than it is for any of you. i just think, what if i were in her place and someone came up to me and brought back the memory of my horrible scars. I would then realize that people were paying attention to my flaws and i would be extremely annoyed. I just cant bring myself to do it. unless there was a way to ask her indirectly... but im not going to approach her and ask her in person. is there any other help / advice out there?

Robert 0 Posted November 10, 2004 It's probably just the opposite; she would probably get excited and tell you all about it. I know *I* would. You could say, "I've really been admiring your skin. It looks so flawless. I wish I could be scar-free like you!" That should open a door for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montana 0 Posted November 10, 2004 some say smoothbeam, others say dermabrasion, or fillers..i wish they just decide witch one is the best,,but i guess since everyone's case it's different, so is the treatment..y have one depressed or rolling scar on my right cheek,,i'm guessing smoothbeam would be the best option FOR ME just because it's one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montana 0 Posted November 10, 2004 well saying JUST ONE sounded kinda great,,but i have some hyperpig also,,but the problem with it is that right above the depressed scar theres is a diagonal line,,it's weird and hard to explain, but it's like the scar made some of the skin above it come down, making that depressed line,,the "good" thing they are not very deep, so i'm not sure a filler would work or instead create a bump,,next week i see Dr. Y so i'll ask his opinon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Violet 1 Posted November 12, 2004 I remember when this came up before and someone gave the best advice which I will quote for you, Approach her where no one else can hear and say,"your skin looks so great, what is your beauty secret?" There is a guy who I know through friends kinda and his severe, severe, acne scars are almost gone entirely. I don't know him well enough to ask a question like that and at the same time I know him too well to ask too. Funny, huh? Did anyone else notice that actors like Ray Liotta and Edward James Olmos don't have their acne scars anymore? This guy is the same way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
