I honestly think the general public is very ignorant about lasers. They make no distinction between ablative vs non-ablative, 100% vs fractional, erbium vs co2, and etc. We only see the horror stori...

Hey No Hope.... Can you clarify how Airgent targets depressed scars? I understand the true mechanism of this system is through the subcision-like effect of the HA that is being propelled through the ...

You think your scars are worst than 99% of the people on this board because the only people that post their pictures don't actually have that bad a case of scarring. Please don't pay attention to tho...

I've had a number of excisions, and some came out pretty good. I had one though that failed epically, and it was much worse than the scar it replaced. Whether or not an excision fails is determined ...

What is it about the fillers that worries you?

Wow interesting read.... I have totally overlooked this thread. Doing more research on this device right now.

That's the thing about fillers in general. If you have true rolling scars that have a smooth surface, without sharp borders, and are gently sloping (instead of a sharp drop-off), they can work very w...

If you've indeed had over 10 fractional C02 laser procedures that would be unprecedented. Given that you have been a member since 2009 and the technology itself hasn't been around that long, I estima...

Whew.... quite the emotional roller coaster. I'm glad there was a positive outcome. I know how tortured one can feel after a procedure goes awry. Documenting your experience will certainly help othe...

They've definitely softened up, the scars that is. How has your family reacted? Are you getting positive responses?

Slee, what's the latest. It's been over a month since we last heard from you. Are you all healed up now?

Okay, it's time to call troll on this one....

I've been meaning to post something in regards to this for a while. There is a lot of misinformation out there in regards to cosmetic surgery and much of this is perpetrated by the industry itself i...

One issue I have with Mixto after doing more reading, is that it is a continuous wave laser, which is outdated technology. All of the traditional full field C02 lasers in of the past were continuous ...

I think 70% improvement in moderate scarring would be considered a resounding success. Doctors often say that 50% would be the upper end of improvement, so this really is quite remarkable.

Laser debate aside, the lighting in these pictures are totally inconsistent. Some have harsh overhead lighting in the befores, but the afters are taken with flash, which can hide scars very well (I s...

    I've always been very skeptical of dermarolling, however, these pictures are very compelling. The thing that is notable to me is that her skin is normal, not red or inflamed, which ...

Usually hyperpigmentation sets in at about 2-3 weeks time, not immediately. This is particularly true for ethnic, ie Asian, skin. Stay out of the sun and good luck with your healing.

Not new, I believe the textbook terminology is Dermal grafting. I think he just coined his own term to market himself. He DOES seem totally nutty though. But those pictures do look good, IF they are...

Thank you for elevating the discussion on this board. Hopefully the conversation can get back to science-backed treatments instead of the aforementioned urine / avocados / god knows. LOL... Anywho...

Okay, this is the problem I see so often on this site. I understand your scarring bothers you, but frankly it shouldn't. There are folks here who are really suffering with true disfigurement of thei...

I think we all say things unconsciously that may hurt other people. The other day at a friend's birthday dinner, I made a comment about how my friend was looking really good because he has lost some ...

This has been a long, painful, personal issue for me since the age of 11 (I'm now almost 32). I know this overwhelming feeling of sadness as well, because it's a feeling of recognition. It's the fe...

Who are these people who keep coming on here with the ridiculous home remedies? Please stop hijacking these threads and diminishing the quality of these boards. Stop with the urine, avocados, and le...

Thank you slee for continuing to update one of the few compelling threads on this forum. I'm gonna come out and say it. This board has devolved and the intelligent and informed conversations seemed ...
