I've been getting filler since 2010. I had only one expert filler session--a maxillofacial surgeon who also paints and sculpts. Unfortunately he's a two-hour drive away from me but the last (local) on...

I got my scars in 1993 and my "market value" took a nosedive. I pretty much gave up. Nobody that I liked would ever talk to me with that kind of interest after I got scarred and that never changed. My...

Thanks for the pics and the details! Dr. Weiner has a new, improved Infini now. It is called Genius, and now the operator can actually see where the treatment goes (old model had a bulkier handpiece t...

In a way I think that using filler is cheating. It's not really resolving scars, it's just disguising them. But I wish that these "skin tightening" treatments really worked to lay down loads of new, h...

$36K for acne scar revision--only a psychopath would charge that. I think scar revision should be free. People without facial scars have no clue how debilitating they can be. Yes, the best ones don't ...

Preventing sun damage--huge check on that. My skin hasn't been exposed in 25 years. I'm absolutely rabid about my sunscreens, my hats/visors, and sunglasses. Huge difference now between myself and sam...

I agree with the many others--you are exceptionally attractive even with the scars. No man in his right mind would object to them. You can try a dermaroller or derminator and Retin-A, maybe a little b...

I had Halo Pro today. Not sure of the settings. It can reach a depth of 100 microns. I think in the hands of the right practitioner it might accomplish something. Not sure if that applies to my practi...

Yes, you can use NYX Pore Filler as spackle to fill the dents. It's cheap and it evens out the surface. The downside is that it has an extremely matte finish that looks artificial. Maybe if you use mo...

I think that BA has given you superlative advice. I have nothing to add to it. I just wanted to say that you are beautiful regardless of the scarring and it looks as if you will be an excellent patien...

I can't say how it affected red marks as I didn't have any. It might possibly help.One thing you could do now that might help a lot is to get a European sunscreen with a very high UVA rating like La R...

Shei514, I wish you all the luck in the world! Your story and progress make me cry. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being most severe, I was maybe 0.5 when I got dermabraded (I wanted perfection). Dermbras...

Fixing your skin will not make you happy but it will allow you to turn your attention elsewhere. My skin was actually nice after my fat transfer, and although it didn't last, I had about five years wh...

I have a product called NYX pore filler. It's pretty cheap. It will fill pores but not boxcars.

I was on Accutane maybe 32 years ago. It was the best my skin ever looked. I took only one course. I really wish I had taken a second course. It might have changed my life. I had the fat transfer at...

I had it done in 2010 (83 cc from knees to face) but not with subcision. It did dramatically improve my skin. I wouldn't say it was perfect porcelain glass skin but it was so much improved that I coul...

Thanks, BA. Yes, you nailed it. I sent my pics to Dr. Weiner and he says my biggest problem is volume loss, not scarring. He does not want to interact with me further until I am actually in his office...

Yes, I have been using tretinoin for about 35 years. I don't have any sags and I am 55. I do wrinkle under the eye area when I put tretinoin or tazarotene there but it resolves quickly. Plus I've been...

Thanks, BA. I've also corresponded with Dr. Jason Pozner. He's not an acne scar specialist but he is one of the practitioners who writes papers on new devices. I am not sure if he has LaseMD but he ha...

I had phenol in 1993 which turned my skin into a weird, horrible, webbed, orange-peel mess with enormous pores. I consulted with numerous derms and plastic surgeons who advised that CO2 or Erbuim-YAG ...
