Sure hope I get a response. I used a dermaroller a few years ago on my scalp. NOT SURE I CLEANED IT! Stupid, I know. Can I sanitize it now with alcohol to use on my facial skin?

I just saw you since acne on my teenagers back. What should I do?

I might have a slight lump from my first subcision I had a few months ago. It's very slight but I can see it in certain lighting. Will this go away? I want to get a few more subcisions. I am kind of h...

I'm a bit down. One larger scar is showing up again. I think I see an improvement. But not much. I am smoking and I know I really have to STOP smoking for the collagen to build up. Will the collagen s...

Thanks. I just hope I didn't wait too long to start the suctioning. I got my subcision on Friday and waited until the following Thursday to do the suctioning.

Can the procedure of suctioning be done too often after subcision? I had my first subcision done with co2 laser and prp last monday. I purchased a microdermabrasion suction device and took out the exf...

I went out and purchased a microdermabrasion machine. I took out the exfoliation stick and it works perfectly.

jashun49 thank you for the information. I actually think this subcision worked! I don't know if it's due to swelling. But the swelling is going down and I can see an improvement on my scars. It's only...

Sorry the photos are not coming out good.

These photos really don't emphasize the indentations on my skin. I will have to take better photos. As I stated I really have to stop smoking for the next few procedures. Will I be sorry I did no...

My skin feels kind of gross. I really want to wash it with the celaphil. But they said to wait for 48 hours.

I can't believe I finally did it! I just had my first subcision done along with prp and laser! It was done by a medical doctor I know. I'm swollen right now! He gave me a great break on the price. I c...

Really? Do you have any before after photos?

I saw the doctor. She recommended I do the dermapen and if there is a problem later consider subcision. This surprised me. She was also a fan of ablastive lasers. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TCA CROSS WAS. ...

Thanks blahblah82. Very informative. I go for the consultation today. Now I am getting a little worried. lol I suppose I can find her medical degree online. Maybe I should play it safe and stick with ...

Thanks Robertitoo, I am not even sure if this MD is a dermatologist. However, she does have acne scar correction on her website. She's gotten two one star bad reviews on a review website. But the othe...

I have a consultation with a non plastic surgeon but an MD for subcision. Do you think this is wise? She advertises for this procedure on her website. She certainly looks competent.
