Fazoo 0 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi, After long discussion my doctor has suggested to try a somewhat new way of scar treatment called anterior chembrasio or anterior chemabrasion Basically I would do subcision followed by chemabrasion for best results. I have only done a laser treatment many years ago to this point. Didn't like it but iam inclined to try other things. I don't know much about this and can't find much information about it so I figured I ask in this forum. I have a little darker skin type. (typical portuguese skin type) Somewhat severe rolling and boxscars. Might ad pictures later. P. S. Sorry for my English. Thx in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's some kind of medium strength peel with phenol as an active ingredient? What did your doctor tell you about the anterior chemabrasion and who is treating your scars?

Fazoo 0 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 My doctor is the dermatologists that is actually going to treat my scars. She is one of the few that offers many of those treatments in my country (Switzerland) . She has been to Dr rullen educating herself about all those treatments and lastly to Dr Perez that is a specialist about this specific treatment from what I can tell... She told me this would be a more effective method than the subcision + microneedling that was originally planned... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fazoo 0 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 You're going to do a background check or something :)? Anyways this seems like a heavy procedure for my skin. One thing I didn't like about the laser was that my face was red for months. I forgot to ask her but is this probably going to be similar to the laser in terms of redness?

Of course lol But seriously, it's my skin and those treatments cost not a small amount of money so I like to do my research on the treatments and the doctors.
