Hello, guys! Hope everyone is doing well around here. So, I finished an Accutane course 9 months ago, it worked really well but unfortunately I have been left with scars. Last time I spoke to my derm was about 6 months ago and we talked about a session of Emax laser in the autumn, to see if it does well on my skin. Because of my schedule, I can't get an appointment for little while, so I went to a different clinic I wanted to go for a while, just to see what they say, too, since I didn't have anything better to do that day.

All this time I had the CO2 laser in mind, but the derm was pretty adamant towards the Dermapen treatment (once a month for 6 months). He explained me the pros and cons of CO2, but he still recommended me the Dermapen. CO2 seems like a massive pain in the ass. I've been battling acne for such a long time, it feels like a lifetime and honestly, I don't know if I want to go through the whole process of getting CO2 laser, especially with all the cons and obviously not being guaranteed anything, it might end up in being a waste of time and money.

I don't even know how bad my scars are right now, some days are better, some worse, depending on lighting and time of day etc. Honestly, I just want a little bit of improvement, I know the scar treatments aren't doing excellent at the moment, so I'm not expecting miracles. I think I'll just try to fix my scars once and just call it a day if nothing improves, I'll just deal with them, because I'm drained of energy after all these years with acne.

I took some photos, trying to get different lighting, from good to worst. I don't think they look that bad, but they look pretty awful in bad lighting. Also, I think they look worse because I edited my face out, so the focus is on the scars only. I'm also 7-8kg overweight and I noticed a lot of fat went into my face, will the scars look worse when I lose weight?

So, what you guys think? Thank you for reading, I wish you the best of luck!
