Cluemanati 0 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello guys, I had mild acne all of throughout HS . I was prescribed (accutane) or the newer version of acctuane last year September. I got off of accutane mid December. I’ve been using a .25 Derma roller and vitamin c serum to try to get rid of my marks . What type of acne scars do I have ? How long would it take to get rid of them ? Any advice for me ? BTW my skin is red in the picture because I just used the Derma roller , serum and moisturizer .

beautifulambition 1979 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi there, the redness thew me off too, haha. You have textural rolling scars. Are you using retin a or tretinorin nightly at home? You can buy differin from Target OTC. If your doing microneedling you also need to be peeling with TCA. One separate months. They work together. For a how to goto the scar solutions sub, first post faq, then the tca section, and click the link, read the whole first page. Or you can have your doctor do a sedated deep peel to get under the scars. Another option is erbium laser resurfacing, as a alternative. Because of your skin pigment you need to use skin bleaching or skin whitening cream that has ingredients hydroquinone or albutin with your differin for 3 weeks before any procedure to avoid hyperpigmentation.
