Thank you for your sharing the details of your experience with physicians. Did you decide against the Sciton erbium because of the price or another reason? I have been told that the results from thi...

Silicone gel works, but when applying it, you need to rub it in for several minutes.

Thank you. I started to send in a private message, but I thought Renuva might have some public interest value. Hopefully your post will save people from wasting their money on this. I now see all of ...

I was looking through my notes from a visit I had with a surgeon a while ago. He recommended Renuva for volume restoration as an alternative to Sculptra. I had dismissed it at the time because it se...

I finally tracked down two practitioners who will subcise without fillers. Neither seem to be as much of experts in subcision as I’d like, but this may be the closest I’m going to find locally. ...

@beautifulambition After another month of searching for a local doctor to perform subcision, I found only 2 who will do it, and I am hoping to get a few more of your thoughts about the techniques they...

Thank you for reading that. My understanding of subcision is that it involves only the scar tissue residing in the fat layer, but not the dermis, leaving the fibrous bands in the dermis intact. ...

There are references in the medical literature to a technique called "intracision", which is similar to subcision but is used in conjunction to break the fibrous bands in the dermis (as opposed to sub...

I have been reading about recent research using amniotic fluid to facilitate “scarless” healing, and I am starting the discussion here. It seems that amniotic fluid acts in a similar fashion as PRP bu...

Thank you. If I understand correctly, are you recommending to have the subcision/radiesse with the surgeon now and then do Sculptra later? I didn't clarify this in my post, but when I initially aske...

I finally found a local surgeon who is experienced in cannula subcision + filler and has agreed to do it (thanks to the FAQ in this forum). The only thing is that he wants to use Radiesse instead of S...

Thank you again for your continued guidance on all of this. I'm leaning toward going to see Dr. Rullan, although if I could find a local doctor that does subcision, I would probably have it don...

I'm located in North Texas.    The new picture is 18 hours after injection of 2 vials of Sculptra (under less harsh lighting than the other pictures).  It seems to ...

I had a virtual consult with Dr. Rullan. He recommends starting with his phenol/chemabrasion treatment which he says may be the only treatment necessary. I know Dr. Rullan's reputation is impeccable...

Thank you. My understanding of how lasers remodel scars is clearly incomplete. I had thought that lasers generally break up fibrous tissue, causing them (including raised scars) to reform/remodel. I ...
