Hey everyone,
Just wanted to post some before and after pics of my skin after various scar treatments. I want to let you all know to that scars can be improved and don't give up if they get you down. I would have considered mine severe before treating them, now I rate them as maybe moderate; but I still plan on doing more treatments, just figured id post some pics to help some of you out.

Heres a very very general overview of what I've done over the years:
Dermastamp 1.5mm + terproline
TCA peel 30%, 15%
various lactic acid peels

That's it...however, I plan on getting some subcision and TCA cross done very soon, along with learning how to single needle and continuing dermastamping and spot treating with the 30% TCA. Also, If any of you are under the impression that you NEED lasers to treat severe scarring, I'm here to tell you that you don't. IMO, lasers are way too harsh and can actually do more harm than good. Look at every option and combine treatments, something will work for you. Good luck!

Great pictures, great results. The needling/TCA combo seems like it has the best success rate here.

What a great positive post for a change.... ugh it was getting depressing around here. I really think theprofessional subcision sessions you plan to get will give youeven better results. This is pretty impressive just for DIY treatment though.

How much time passed between the before and the current pics?

Thanks for being generous and sharing your pics.

Like blahblah82 said, I'd be interested to know how much time has passed - as it doesn't seem that long ago to me that you posted a thread asking about your scarring.

Anyway, a tremendous improvement has been made so congratulations (and thanks for sharing).

WOW this is awesome. Question - what kind of derma stamp did you use? I'm trying to do some research and it sounds like different makes/models can give very different results. Can you recommend a brand?
