Sirius Lee 382 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you have active acne, you need to bring that under control first. I suggest either Retin-A or low-dose Accutane. You have a combination of boxcar and rolling scars. You also show a sign of fat loss (depression). My approach to scar revision is relatively simple. First and foremost, get rid of the scar edges. The reason is your scars are greatly magnified when the light bounces off these edges. Smooth them down and, not surprisingly, your scars will look much better. No more edges, no more reflections. The best way to achieve this is via chemical peel. I recommend TCA. Now with less noticeable edge, the scar will resemble that of a rolling scar (undulation). At this point, you can move to other available treatments to beef up your collagen to fill any visible depression. For example, RF microneedling + Filler will help make collagen of your own. If you want to fix "as soon as possible", this advice won't be of much help because it will take at least 2 years, if not longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Active rash on the chin because of the mask, she scratches my face. Acneccutane caused me an autoimmune disease, psoriatic arthritis, so I will not use it anymore. And you rightly noticed that I am losing weight, I switched to a vegan diet in order to cleanse all the side effects of acneccutane and try to regain a healthy body.
