Some posters, Naitch especially, have been way out of line toward DrewBoy. I have tried many things, with less than expected results. The only technique that I have any interest in pursuing at this...

Thanks montero man, drewboy and everyone who has helped in this post. I had a question about the time frame in which you get results. I've read it can take up to 2 months so a lot of doctors ask doct...

Montero and all,   I just had another round of silicone with Dr. Alkek. Please do not judge it too early though. For the first 4-6 weeks my skin looks pretty darn good. After that, those resul...

Felt I should chime in. I have continued my treatments with silicone. I have had about 5 now and the last one over a month ago.   Honestly, the improvement is not that dramatic...but I think th...

Drew is clearly Dr. Lam. It is so obvious that he set up an account on acne.org 4 years ago...just waiting for the moment to strike. Now that he has pounced, he might get an 5 or clients because of ...

Not to get off topic, but man I would never recommend C02. You have no idea what problems it could create. If the scars are superficial then just leave well enough alone. Silicone may be worth a sh...

I have had both silicone and artecoll (predecessor to artefill). I noticed decent results with artecoll, but pretty much nothing with silicone.   But this does not mean anything about either tre...

I believe it must have been swelling or extra silicone that was possibly absorbed by the body? I don't know really, but what I do know if that for the first few weeks it was great. Then by the 4th w...

I will give a quick update on my progress. It is about 6 weeks from my 3rd treatment with Dr. Alkek. For the first 2-3 weeks things looked great and I was really excited. But...at about the 4 week ...

I will speak for myself, but in the sunlight mine is pretty good. Directional light is the worst...and the sunlight tends to be closer to omnidirectional due to reflection off other surfaces (but not...

Does Dr. Lam then recommend a 2 month interval? This seems about right. The treatment I had done a few days back look pretty good right now, but I think its probably still the swelling I am just k...

Drewboy, It is funny...I did not realize Dr. Lam was in Dallas. I had been assuming you were treated by Dr. Alkek, especially with the texas state avatar (bad assumption on my part). I will have a...

My scars are saucer shaped with soft edges (co2 and dermabrasion helped with the edges). Mine go away completely when stretched. By all accounts, I am a perfect candidate. I had a couple rounds of ...

I will chime in as I have now had 3 round of silicone injections with Dr. Alkek. The first round yielded no results in my opinion. The second round did absolutely nothing, but I think he really unde...

I was depressed about it in my teens and 20's. Couple things:   1. Pursue your goals, regardless of your face. Be successful. This will help you down the road to better cope with your situati...

I am not going to discuss the results...but look at the shadows of the before versus the after. On the before you can see how the chin has a very stark contrast, indicating an overhead, directional t...
