Hi!
I™m looking for treatments to help my acne scars. I believe I have mostly rolling and boxcar scars. Advice is welcome.
I™m really struggling mentally with scars and wish that I had treated my acne earlier. First acne started when I was 16 but I treated it with epiduo. Then for some reason I stopped using it and acme came back worse in summer 2017. I went next half a year with bad breakouts trying all natural methods not realizing my acne was too bad to control naturally.. sadly this left me with bad scarring and I wish I had gone to derm sooner since now I have these mental issues because of scarring. My scarring used to be worse but after accutane and epiduo forte it seems to have soften a little bit over time in a year.
tldr; untreated acne left scars. If you have acne (especially sensitive and inflammed) go to derm before you end up with scars!
Throwing this pic here aswell. This was my skin on december 2017 before my derm put me on accutane and epiduo forte. This might give you more clue about what my scarring is like. Many of my bigger scars seem to be just these smaller scars joining together? Could tca cross on individual pits and subcision on the larger depressions work?
This is from january 2018 (scars have smoothed since naturally with help of adapalene and isotretinoin and nature?). As you can see my larger scars that i thought were rolling seem to be these small boxcar/icepick scars that have joined together? I can see them individually very close up but further away it seems like larger rolling/boxcar scar. Would tca cross work on these close to eachother scars?
@Treatyouracne Thank for posting the pictures.
Yes you have rolling scars, boxcars, and some hyperpigmentation. Your scarring would be medium to severe.

Thank you for the recommendations. I read the sub and decided to contact dr chu and emil (as I live in europe) this morning if they believe they could help me so I™ll wait for their responses. I have epiduo forte that has 0,3 adapalene. My derm said that my redness should resolve on it™s own in a year.
Do you know if Chu or Emil does sculptra with subcision? Only problem with subcisions are that I have to travel but I believe 3 sessions maybe with suction sounds possible for me. Rf microneedling and fractional co2 seem to be only possibilities in my country though 
. Which one would be better for my caucasian skin? There is only one derm doing rf microneedling in my country and its really expensive (1400e). Fractional co2 on the other hand could be done in my city centre by derm for 600e so it™s considerably cheaper.
I don't think Emil does Sculptra yet, ... he will soon. Chu does not use any fillers. You can always get this injected locally by any Dr or expert injector a week or so after your subcision. You don't have to stay with one Dr.
Great glad Emil will treat you ;-).
