Technically it doesn't bleach anything. It inhibits the production of melanin, so FUTURE melanin is suppressed. That means that as the skin regenerates and sheds, eventually that dark spot lightens ...

Hmmmm.... I have been impressed by this doctor, but this comment kinda blows my mind in the sense that it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. Accutane before and after laser? That is exactly ...

No_hope.... First, please don't take my post the wrong way, but are you being given any incentives in regards to enerjet with Dr. Matta? I'm asking out of an objective place, so no offense, but you...

Yes, agreed. It is very misleading (downright wrong) in my opinion to post pics immediately post injection. If you took a needle and stabbed a few scars, it would swell and look great too, even thou...

Fortunately, other than those couple of scars, the rest of your skin looks good. I do think that subcisions AND fillers may help. Do one that is more temporary to see if it works. A good rule of th...

I would recommend AGAINST Channing. I know a few people who have serious complaints against Channing in NYC. The good pics are the work of her father, not her. From what I gather she is too inexper...

Great post Slee. I really commend you for keeping this really insightful thread alive. This is far one of the most impressive accounts on this board for it's exhaustive thoroughness. You've really ...

A picture would be helpful, but from your description it sounds like subcision and possibly filler may help. Again, very hard to advise with no pictures. Most people don't get spectacular results ...

Fillers are tough to get right. For one, you have to choose the right scar because not every scar can be treated with fillers. The best candidates are the soft, rolling scars with a normal surface a...

As you already know, you must wait at least 12 months post accutane before doing anything to treat the scarring. You clearly have a lot of redness / flushing. It will be a little harder to find a do...

You guys need to look at the very last set of pictures taken in the same bathroom lighting as the before shots. These pictures shows where he is right now, and they are indeed impressive. In his par...

Yeah, I gotta hand it to this guy. He did his research and picked a good doctor the first time and came out with good results. So many people make a lot mistakes and waste money along the way, and t...

Uh yeah.... you have flawless skin. If you are distressed by this, I don't think you will like the TCA Cross aftermath. It will look deeper and more red before it does anything, which is unpredictab...

Yeah I did see that one, although she did it recently, so it's definitely swelling from the subcision and fat grafting. But it's also a promising look result.

Well this dude did it all, including fillers. If anything, he certainly went in guns blazing and came out with great resutls. I totally agree, if you add up all the crap we spend money on on a daily...

I've been following this guy on Realself.com since he first wrote about his experience, but damn, this is one of the most amazing transformations I've seen. He's 2 months out from his procedure, so ...

I would agree with Wrocky. Seems like most derms on Realself.com say it is best to wait at least 6 months after Accutane before using lasers or strong chemical peels of any sort (even though Vbeam is...

Not sure I agree that there has been no positive testimonies about co2 lasers. Slee, Dragz, Inspired are members who have seen positive results. Slee has a very well documented account of his experi...

I usually never stray into this part of the board and stay on the medical side of things (ie treatments for scars). Damn dude. It sucks to feel ostracized by society, but to have your "best friend" ...

This is the tough love part.... Actually your scars ARE minor. As an objective observer, I think your level of stress is not proportionate to the level of your scarring. Check out the experiences...

determinedtowin, you need to take a step back. Do your research. Figure out what is going to work. Treatments that actually work for hyperpigmentation are IPL (intense pulsed laser), V-beam, and chemi...

First off, you scars are VERY minor. I see more hyperpigmentation (brown/red spots) than actual scars. I think once you clear the hyperpigmentation, your scars will not be as noticeable. Since you ...

Yikes.... hope your swelling goes down soon!

Retin-A won't do much for scars, though it helps with the general condition of your skin, which will make your skin look better overall. Going to the derm initially to get a prescription can be a p...

I agree with the points brought up. Filler will only work on rolling, non-tethered scars that have a smooth surface. They do not work on jagged, sharp edge scars like large boxcars. I actually thin...
