If those are all the scars you have then I'd say it's pretty mild. Yes, 35% can be effective, it will just take a little longer. Having said that, if all you're concerned with is one scar, I would not...

The scars seem to me to be too wide for a tca cross and subcision might be a better option. But as you've said: the pics are too blurry to tell. If you decide to go for tca cross then i'd definitely s...

I know. Thanks Anyone else any ideas?

Hey everyone, I have a question concerning subcision. When doing scar treatments, it is usually recommended to perform subcision before doing laser treatments. Now i was wondering if someone knows...

Hey Budah, did you have a fractionated ablative co2 laser treatment or an old school non-fractionated ablative co2 laser treatment?

Please, people. It is not the acne or scars that prevents you from doing something, it your attitude towards your acne or scars that prevents you from doing things. This is a crucial difference as the...

Damn. This woman is obsessed. Am i correct in saying that Scarsfade = Catscar?

C'mon people, quit downgrading lasers. If they are used right for the right kind of scarring, they can be a great tool. Black and white thinking, on the other hand, will not get you very far.

Noah, you are in the Netherlands, right? There are no doctors here with sufficient knowledge about acne scars to offer this. If you find someone who is willing to do it, you will be his guinea pig -an...

There are a lot of ways to improve scarring, but you cant get rid of it. I would advice you to do some research yourself and come back if uou have a more specific question.

Depends on how long your "recovery" period from the glycolic acid lasts. I would wait at least a week. But, to be honest, i don't think a 0.5 mm dermaroller is going to do much for your scars, or any ...

What is your question?

No, lasers are not that bad of a choice. Some people here are heavily biased because of a few bad reviews which are not at all representative for what can be done with lasers.

I see great improvement! But after two fully ablative co2 laser treatments, you really need to give your skin some time to rest now.

It's swollen. Collagen can not grow in a day.

Do net ever use 30% tca on your neck! Your neck is way much more prone to scarring and other issues than your face is. Please do not use tca yourself if you did not educate yourself properly beforeh...

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing

Sorry but what you see 72 hours after the procedure will not be your results. Collagen regeneration takes months, not days. If you see improvement now it will be due to swelling. It is simply too earl...

large crater? come on. Get some perspective...

I was expecting some huge ugly scar extending over your whole forehead, but really, it is not so bad. If you let this scar ruin your life than i am seriously wondering what that great before life was...

Well, the procedure was ok I guess. It certainly was not pleasant, but it is tolerable. The most painfull part was the injections with the anesthetic. I got around a 100 of them (that is no exaggerati...
