It's nice to hear about people having success every now and then. You are looking great, and I hope the results are stable and continue to improve as you get more procedures. Sounds like your doctor...

Hypertrophic. margins of the original wound. Keloids are like tumors because they can grow wildly out of control. You could get cortisone injections to flatten it. Excising is another option, but...

Fraxel, I'm assuming you're referring to Fraxel Restore, is useless. I have yet to see any real life accounts of people who've had success, only pictures from the laser company. TCA Cross at 50% m...

Sorry not to offend you if you actually are a real person, but as Factoid said, this is complete pseudo-science quackery.

Well congrats on getting the acne mostly under control. I think the procedures you mentioned would be appropriate. A few people have found success with multiple subcision and suction sessions. This...

That's a good thought. I do not see a problem with using them while on Accutane. When doctors talk about avoiding procedures while on Accutane or immediately after, it is usually in regards to resur...

uh.... yeah.... OP, I think you are going about it the right way by giving it 6 months before starting to do something about the scars. Some may lessen on their own. For the raised scars that re...

Looking good so far. Did you suction? I think moderate suctioning would give it that extra boost to prevent the tethers from reattaching. I think the key is to not overdo it and potentially leaving...

I agree about resurfacing not being needed in your case. If you had texture issues or excision scars that needed to be blended, then resurfacing would make sense. But since your scars were rolling ...

You have basically good skin, except for a few tiny ice pick scars. In your case, I would probably not recommended doing anything aggressive because the risk vs reward payoff might not be worth it. ...

The acne doesn't look too bad, but personally I advocate treating it aggressively to prevent it from progressing and becoming worse. If your acne is starting to scar, it's time to consider serious tr...

Why is this posted here? Anyways, it could be a spider bite, but it could also be MRSA, which is serious. That will require antibiotics and close monitoring.

Definitely.... bad advice and melodramatics have always been a part of this forum, but I think the conversation overall was of a higher quality before. Personally, I think the moderators made a huge...

One treatment is usually not enough. If you responded positively before, I would stick with subcision and see how much more improvement you can get. I would classify your scars as moderate. That sa...

Microdermabrasion is pretty much useless for acne scarring. It's really just a spa treatment and does very little.

How long has it been since the laser? Was this recently?

As far as suing for malpractice, the reality is that it's a lot harder than the way it's portrayed. With malpractice lawsuits a lot of attorneys work on contingency, meaning they only make money if ...

It's complete BS. People keep stealing the same few pictures, crop, edit, and repost them thinking no one will know. Except that a lot of us here have all seen the same pictures. I've seen so man...

I've been calling this s**t out for a while now. It irritates me like nothing else when I see these phony, disingenuous posts about non-existent acne scars. I think these people know their skin is f...

I'm Asian with fair skin. You are right, dermabrasion is usually not recommended for ethnic skin, but it can be done with an experienced surgeon. Unfortunately, some of the disaster stories on this...

I'd pay good money to have your skin. Dermaflage would work pretty well on these minor scars. When I first ordered it, I thought it looked obvious, but it's really all about the technique. Your sca...

Mine look a lot better in the mornings too. The fact that you're laying horizontal for hours basically makes your face a little bloated and puffy in the morning, which disguises the scars. I read be...

Hang in there. Recovery is always hard, but especially in your case since you had so many kinds of procedures done in one (!) day (!) As for the swelling, I'm pretty sure the residual lumpiness is c...

I want to reiterate again that dermabrasion is a VERY aggressive procedure, and not appropriate for all scars. If you are not mentally prepared for the recovery, don't do it. It is risky as well, an...

Sounds like you're in safe hands and your doctor has a great deal of knowledge and experience. Keep us posted! I have a lot of hope in dermabrasion as well. I only did one laser treatment...
