I can't believe I finally did it! I just had my first subcision done along with prp and laser! It was done by a medical doctor I know. I'm swollen right now! He gave me a great break on the price. I couldn't pass it up. He suggested up to 5 treatments. I'm really excited. I have been tormented by these scars for years and years. I will let you all know how it goes. I have no photos to show.

He is a doctor I know personally. Well, kind of personally. He's not a plastic surgeon but he does do subcision and other procedures. It's a big step for me. I don't look that great. He said I should get about 5 subcisions. I am really hoping and praying for good results.

Thank you. I wish you the best.
Are you planning on using the suction treatment on day 3 for your scars that have been subcise? This should help in keeping the skin level up rather than the deeper scars re-tethering down once the micro-swelling goes down from recovery.
also I forgot to add which type of Laser treatment treatment are you having done?

I wanted to do the suction treatment but my doctor didn't know about it. Is there a place I can purchase a suction device to do it on my own?
My doctor used a co2 partial ablative laser. I think that's what he did. I am going to get the exact details via email. I know I should know. I will post photos.

jashun49 thank you for the information.
I actually think this subcision worked! I don't know if it's due to swelling. But the swelling is going down and I can see an improvement on my scars. It's only going to get better. I HAVE TO STOP SMOKING FOR THE NEXT SUBCISIONS I GET!
The doctor claimed I had box scars. I always was told I had rolling scars.
This is what he used: CO2 fractional laser resurfacing with PRP and subcision of acne scars
Question. I am using Aquaphor. Should I apply this after I put on sunscreen or before?
I took out the exfoliation stick and it works perfectly.

It will take time, they do appear again but they should rise in the coming months. Take lots of vitamin c for smoking depletes it and you need vitamin c to get this to work. Eat healthily. Exercise. Hike. Or whatever.
Try to put this aside and then reevaluate in 2 months. Usually this is where most see the difference, for me I saw it 3+ months. It is not an overnight thing it takes time for your body to create collagen.
I'm sure you will see results but it might take a bit of time.

Thanks! Should I also use vitamine C cerum on my skin? How about peptides? I will take a lot of vitamin C and drink orange juice. I will also eat right, excercise and try to stop smoking .
