Tom_Mason 1 Posted July 4, 2008 Overall mild bordering on moderate due to the number of them but they are really only easily seen on this side. So if I was looking at your whole face i'd say the scarring is mild. Share this comment Link to comment

Gitterdunn 0 Posted July 15, 2008 do you think theres any hope of it getting better? Of course there is. The scarring is so mild. I would seek a plastic surgeon and get his insight. I'm of asian descent and I favor laser treatments over any caustic peels. Laser in capable hands is effective. You still want to approach treatment conservatively though; whereby you slowly work your way up in terms of the laser settings. In any case, I did a spot treatment with CO2 (often avoided with asian skin, but in the skilled hands....), it worked great. It's taking me longer to heal, there is still a hint of hyperpigmentation, but it's resolving quickly with the application of MaMa lotion. I might go back for one more pass with the CO2 laser for the final touch. You have to wait 6 months in between each treatment with CO2, so I can't even consider it until November. Topically however, there are a few things I would try. I would go on Retin-A in conjuntion with the Obagi skincare line. It's going to make you peel (a good thing)...and the vitamin A will help rebuild the skin. It looks like your scars are still fairly new....Obagi will help with active acne too. Deal with the active stuff first then the scars. Share this comment Link to comment
