i tried one subcision without fillers. And one time microneedling which caused more damge than good
They're mostly boxcars. From 1 to 10, I would grade your scar at 6. Some scars definitely look tethered, so I suggest you get SUBCISION + HA FILLER to prevent any chance of retethering. Moreover, fillers can also stimulate collage. You will most likely need up to 3 rounds of subcision.
Thanks Sirius for your reply. I will get fillers as soon as i can iam just waiting for some cash. Can anyone get like half a syringe or small amount of fillers for testing? Just tobmake sure that i dont have a bad reaction to it. Or do they provide small amount for testing or something like this?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our body and patch test is not required.
@One_day123I see you did one treatment of subcision with no filler and some microneedling.
You have pretty severe rolling and box car scarring.
I would get subcision this time with filler (you will need4 treatments spaced out when the filler runs out you top up again).

These look like a cross between Rolling scars and Atrophic scars. I have had clients who have had luck with soft tissue augmentation techniques like hyaluronic acid, collagen and gelatin matrix or fat implants (fat grafting) Also you might want to consider laser resurfacing or ablative fractional lasers. Dermabrasion is another really popular techniqueI've seen withgood results.
Good luck!
@One_day123I think you should concentrate first on fixing the biggest pits. Just elevating these scars alone would give you a huge leg up IMO. You can do that by getting SUBCISION + FILLER.
Laser, whether CO2 or Erbium, should be reserved for last to smooth the surface once the pits have been filled. You priority, however, should be on filling (elevating) the holes. Advice given by@beautifulambitionis a sound plan. Get a few more subcision with filler, then move up to RF + Sculptra. By then, you should see a noticeable improvement.
Hope that helps.
Thanks BA for the great advice. I will for sure start with fillers. But do i need to uae bleashing cream before fillers as well?
thanks @garyly, what is intracel? Acne scars are really depressing. I checked your post and i think you had a very good improvment.
@Scarredtodepression, yes i got subcision. It didnt not make it worse, it looked good up to one week after subcision but eveeything went back to the previous state. But i didnt use fillers, maybe this is why. I still have some bumps in some areas from subcision which makes the near scars look deeper.
Thanks @DermaGreens, thanks for the great advice, it seems like fillers is the way to go.
Thanks @Sirius Lee, great advice . Mmm. Can i start with fillers without subcision as i think both of them will be very expensive.
@incepticon, it was dermapen at home. I think i was aggresive. And it resulted in lots of new small scars, whice made the texture of my face looks really bad. And became like swollen. I read people are getting good results, it is my mistake that i didnt go to a professional.
@One_day123No you don't need the tretinorin / bleaching cream before filler (mainly energy or peels) but it would be good to start this at night as a practice because you will get some improvement-turn over just for this part of your treatment.
Filler with subcision should not be much more than filler alone.
I can give you a plan PM me.
Thanks @beautifulambition. I was thinking of starting with fillers without subcision. As the doctor office said it will cost 1550$ canadian dollars both. Whereas fillers cost 750$. I did subcision 8 months ago. What do you think.?
@incepticon. Needle size was 1.5 to 2.5. Whoch is i know now is not recommended at home

@One_day123You could have doughnuts with the filler ... without sub. But in that case just get another sub to level out the filler afterwards.
If expense is a problem some only get filler at the end, or some do filler + sub yearly for 3 years.
