He mentioned his doctor in his thread   I believe its Dr. Despain or something

  Hey Matt just wanna let you know that I really appreciate you still giving us updates on your results 1 year after your first treatment   A lot of people never show up on this site again a...

Wow, what a great thread! I really love all the information on dermarolling. Thanks so much for sharing, and I'm looking forward to updated pics.   My acne scars are very new 2-5 months, and ...

Fillers are great for a temporary solution. THe problem is that it is expensive if you keep going back to get it done. I'm 90% sure that Juvederm contains foreign chemicals. The absolute safest filler...

sanjose- have u done vbeam before? if so, how was the result? how many treatments have u done? I've done Vbeam before, I think twice. IT was a few years ago, now they have an updated Vbeam that is...

freak, Im aware of the possible long term side effects of GA. I don't plan to perform many more peels. I only use a 35% peel along with Dan's AHA. I just really hate my red marks. With the help of AHA...

@ AcnePwns and v_singh: How long have you guys had acne for? I feel like the fragility of my skin is due to the fact that I've had acne for over 10 years and have used many different harsh topicals i...

I do not have AMVC scarring but I've been following this thread to try to determine why my existing acne scars so badly now even though the acne itself is less severe than it was when I didn't scar. ...

davidst said: is there any good sunscreen that doubles as a moisturizer? do i need to apply the sunscreen to my whole face, or just where im using the retin a? how much spf? thanks, sorry ...

if i use retin a at night and wash it off in the morning, do i still need to put on sunscreen? If you are going outside, definitely. Sunscreen is a must when using retin-a.

good luck

I may go see your doc in Columbia since I am just an hour away. I have thought about subcision in the past but was told that it was for scars bound down and if you can stretch your scars and they go a...

I wanted to ask, how did you manage to go out before, during, and after the procedure?   I find it so hard dealing with people every single day looking at my face and touching theirs as though to...

Hey Ernesto, I might suggest waiting four more months before doing any more procedures. I noticed improvement 6 months on after doing a laser treatment, and I imagine with the Re-Cell you'll be gettin...

Ernestoria, I am not too familiar with either re-cell or stem cells but I believe it is a good idea to continue with subcision. Your scars are ideal for subcision. I think another 1-3 rounds of subcis...

Ernestoria, Any chance you can post up pictures in 4-6 months when the microswelling is entirely gone and you have allowed yourself enough time for collagen to grow?

Definitely use the gel. Make sure it is 100% aloe vera, preferably w/o any coloring or fragrance added to it. Lotion, unless non-como will likely clog up your pores and cause more acne.   Sorry t...

£100 for a consult... what a scam. Reason enough for me not to see him. Perhaps Dr. Khan would deduct that £100 off your treatment. You should really call in and ask.   I'm sure that Dr. Khan ...

Well, its better to see improvement in terms of how much it bothers you. 50% improvement may be 80% in terms of bothersome scale. Especially for guys. Also depends on how good looking a guy is on the ...

I don't think his results diminished. Even if it did, it would only have diminished slightly. I'm assuming he stopped caring about his skin since he got so much improvement and is living a happy life ...

I feel a lot like you do Ylem. I've had over EIGHTEEN THOUSAND dollars worth of procedures done on me in the past 5 years to try to help my scars. Everything that has been done to me has been done a...

AND, if micro-swelling is present (which I doubt), then the collagen regenration should counteract this. My thoughts exactly. There may be some minor micro swelling left but collagen is supposed to t...

Does anyone know if the generic brand or the actual Retin A will be better for scars? I just called my pharmacy and with my insurance the copay is only $10 for the generic and a whopping $76 for the r...

I see a 70%-85% improvement judging from your pictures. Even after two months and you end up with 35% improvement, that is HUGE. Im happy for ya man. Love hearing success stories on here.   BTW I...

Has anybody here used retin-a without experiencing an initial breakout?
