Has anyone addressed pigmentation (mainly PIE) before or while undergoing indented scar treatments? So did you already get 1 V-Beam? I think I fall into the same category as well and wondering how effective it is.

$950 for 40% TCA vs. $525.00 PRP Both not worth it. If you are just trying to correct textural issues laser is a better option especially for those prices. | In forum Acne Scars | 4 years ago |
Nokor vs Cannula Not a doctor but from what I have read. Nokor gets better results but has more downtime (around a month) as well as a higher chance of complications such as hematoma. Cannula still gives good results ... | In forum Acne Scars | 4 years ago |
Dr. Patrick Blake in San Diego I wasn't able to see how he performed subcision (nokor, cannula or local). Based off the swelling after I doubt it was nokor or cannula. I looked like a completely different person with how much swell... | In forum Acne Scars | 4 years ago |

Why the mixed opinions from our resident experts on benefits of at-home microneedling? Im pretty sure BA's opinion was it is better than nothing and you can do it at home but if you are expecting significant results you will be disappointed. | In forum Acne Scars | 5 years ago |
Recommend treatments? To me it looks like some volume loss. You could benefit from 1-2 subcisions and some filler. Unfortunately I have never seen anything under 1k in the last few years. | In forum Acne Scars | 5 years ago |

Discussion: Dr.Rullan's Website Acne Scar Treatment Recommendations From my understanding the RF devices are still pretty new and expensive. I don't think it has anything to do with him not believing in the treatment or something like that. | In forum Acne Scars | 5 years ago |
hematoma after suction Is it raised and warm to touch? If so it is probably hematoma. I would stop suctioning and start messaging the bumps. You may need to go back to the doctor and request something like prednisone if ... | In forum Acne Scars | 5 years ago |
Suctioning after Subcision Suctioning too hard can not only create adhesions but also hematoma. I would follow what Rullan says. I wouldn't say the goal is to create bruising but to prolong the bruising from the subcision. | In forum Acne Scars | 5 years ago |
