Yep that's kinda what I was alluding too. There was the initial hype and then some folks had complications, and the excitement died down. Anyone who knows these forums has seen the same pattern with...

I will say that a lot of crazy advancements in plastic surgery is coming out of South Korea. I also think we might need to temper our excitement a little bit. The pictures are compelling though, if ...

Wow, the doctor definitely turned up the juice this time as indicated by the bleeding and oozing.

Actually this is exactly what they use to remove ice pick scars. I've had this done a few times, and the results have been anything from great to disastrous.

Well regardless, you are going to have to wait a year at the minimum before pursuing any treatments since you only recently completed Accutane. I've done accutane myself, and while it completely cure...

Dude, I'd pay good money to have your skin. Seriously, it's not even remotely bad. Your doctor gave you good advice, you definitely do not need subcision. Lasers on Asian skin can have side effects...

Really sorry that this is happening to you. If it's not too much of a stretch financially, I would personally get some type of filler (Juvederm, Restylane, take your pick) injected. The fact that yo...

Yep, if I've learned anything, it's to ALWAYS insist on test spots and doing a smaller, inconspicuous area first if heaven forbid something goes very wrong. The procedure itself may be sound, but it ...

This one woman had it one by a doctor and still came out with alarming results. The tca cross-ed areas look widened, and deepened. I believe it can work, but can also be unpredictable for others. I...

He used filler on ice pick scars? Are they true ice pick scars with a sharp edge and are deep? A dermal filler usually only works on broad based, rolling type acne scars. Its good that he performed...

I'm an advocate of accutane / isotretinoin in cases where the acne is the cystic / scarring kind. Hands down it is the only thing that worked for me. I really get what you are going through because ...

Thanks slee! It definitely looks much more aggressive this time around. In the last few pics, you are clearly red and raw. It was also good to hear that the results are somewhat lagged, since it ta...

To OP, your scars are minimal and you should seriously consider if you can accept the downtime for any procedure of true significance. Do your due diligence and proceed slowly.

I'm following this post intently. When the doctored lasered off the sharp edges of your scars, do you know what kind of laser he used? Not sure if that was mentioned in your previous post. After 5 ...

I would say that punch excisions may work well if the area is small, but the larger the punch the greater the tension. One other thing that I've learned is that if you do a larger excision, say on a ...

Punch Excisions - I've had some successful punch excisions in the past, which effectively replaced deep icepick scars with less conspicuous line scars. Recently this year, I had some more punch exc...

These scars are more of the icepick / boxcar variety and not really amenable to subcision. Subcision is really reserved for bound down, rolling scars. Icepick scars are notoriously difficult to impr...

Austra, it's the same story for many of us. Other people without skin issues just really do not understand it on a visceral level. They have the luxury of not worrying about lighting, angles, and th...

Perhaps you are referring to erbium? This was an ablative laser correct? Meaning there was crusting and peeling. Where did you get treated? A doctor's office? I'm STILL dealing with some hyperpigm...

The saline injections are not a replacement for dermal fillers. It is not meant to be used as a dermal filler, but as another method of subcision, or undermining of tethered scars. The saline is inj...

Hey slee..... Am I reading correctly that it is white? Are we talking like no pigment at all? If it truly is hypo pigmentation it may be more cause for concern because that can be permanent as oppos...

    Treatments like subcisions, excisions, and lasers are never as straightforward as they're made out to be. In fact some of these treatments left me significantly worse off. Like others h...

Reconsider...lol.... We definitely want to see how your skin looks after your third laser. I'm probably going to do a second session with focal treatment on just the cheeks in January. Will this ...

Looking good so far. Having gone through the process myself, I would encourage strict sun avoidance as the hyperpigmentation usually sets in at the 3rd or 4th week. Can you clarify a couple thing...

Wow it really sounds like you were put through the ringer. When I had Mixto, I had the numbing cream and the dental block and I still had the exact same sensation of hot rubber bands snapping agains...
