Come With Me On My Subcision Expedition

If the before picture is how your skin looked prior to this latest round of subcision, I'd say there's been substantial improvement. Don't beat yourself up too much, it's only been about a few days, ...

Acne and scarring help

What medications are you using for your acne? Are you just using over the counter stuff or prescriptions? Personally for me, the only thing that worked was Accutane. It's a strong drug, but it def...

Stop looking for a cure (advice from a veteran)

You guys are misunderstanding what I wrote. Accutane does not cure scars. What I meant to say was that if I took it much earlier in my acne journey, I would have prevented the cysts from becoming wo...

Radiesse

Radiesse does not have suture material in it. I think you are thinking of Sculptra. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyappetite, which is like the material our bones are made of.

And then you see this guy's actual pictures and there's literally 1 or 2 pimples. Seriously bro, you need to get a grip and stop with the exaggeration. I'm pretty convinced you're trolling everyone.

This is absolute rubbish and actually offensive to people really suffering. This is total drama queen behavior.

You Want To See Cortisone Dent

They do fill in, but it can take months and months. There was girl on here who had a very large atrophied area on her chin that was literally 15x the size of that little dent. Her's eventually recov...

Absorbable suture thread as filler for acne scars (i.e. Vicryl)

I wished all the doctors on realself would be honest about Bellafill. They keep saying that it lasts for at least 5 years, which is legally true since that is when the studies were ended. What it im...

Not sure this would be any good considering many people already experience complications from Sculptra, which is just ground up suture material. As you stated, this is literally the same thing.

Stop looking for a cure (advice from a veteran)

Just speaking from my own experience, but Accutane for me was in effect a "cure." After 5 months of Accutane at a high dose, my severe cystic acne pretty much went into remission. Most of the negat...

Bad scar from Trauma - Please Help!

That looks decent for only a couple of days out. I'm guessing this will flatten more as the filler has time to settle. When you inject this superficially, you are always going to look lump for a wee...

Who did your fillers? Was this recent? It takes a good week for the lumpiness to settle.

Bad scar from Trauma - Please Help!

Personally, I don't think the co2 laser did much for my particular situation. I did Mixto once for the cheeks and it wasn't enough to make a proper evaluation. I'm not sure if more would have made ...

Wherever you decide to go, it looks like your main issues are ice pick scars so usually TCA Cross is recommended. You have an epic head of hair btw lol.

Let me guess, was it Dr. Emer? He wrote something similar on your realself post. Why don't you start off with fillers first. If it succeeds, then you know that a permanent filler can be used in the...

I can totally relate to this. I've had failed scar excisions in the past and it's been an expensive process of trial and error for sure. I had a deep linear scar on my left cheek which was the resul...

I'm sorry you're struggling with acne scars. These look moderately severe and deep c02 laser should help.
