I saw a cosmetic dermatologist today and asked him about injecting Kenalog into the pebblestone scars. Of the several doctors I've seen in the last couple of weeks, this is the only doctor who fully e...

Thank you, but I was referring to the specific method that Dr. Lim calls "steroid drip" where he apparently drips steroid at the same time that he uses fractional laser and occludes it for 3 hours. ...

I've been trying to find a doctor in my area who is familiar with the "steroid drip" method, using fractional laser or microneedling, but have been unsuccessful. There seems to be little in the liter...

Can you explain more about the "steroid drip" method? Is the drip essentially Kenalog placed topically on the skin and occluded with silicone sheets? If that's how it's done, wouldn't that further...

Thank you for your help. I'm going to try copper peptide, but don't expect much result.

Does anyone have recent experience using GHK copper peptides in scar remodeling? In reviewing the research on this peptide, it seems that it's almost all conducted by Dr. Loren Pickart, who has a bus...

I decided on PLLA (Sculptra) injections and had two vials injected today. I certainly have scars, but the swelling/volumizing effect of the PLLA makes them appear much less prominent. I realize this...

In this case, his price for fat transfer is less than 4 vials of Sculptra. With the facility fee and his mandatory anaesthesia it is only slightly more than Sculptura. He claims that fat graft is more...

Thank you, Sibel. Was your surgeon experienced in fat transfer? Did you also try Sculptra? If so, how did that turn out?

I had a consult today with another surgeon (facial plastic surgeon). His diagnosis is that I have mostly volume loss with some textural issues and did not have much tethering of scar tissue.. His rec...

The reason I think it is all related to acne is that the problems arose when I was 21-22 when I experienced lots of acne. Also, the areas of atrophy are consistent with the areas that I had acne. No...

Thanks for your reply, again. I was referring to normal microneedling. I understand that you only go 1.5-2mm with that, but doesn't it still disturb newly formed collagen if done too soon after a mor...

As I've been researching the effectiveness of RF microneedling, I wanted to see the research that practitioners rely on to justify it's supposed great effectiveness. There aren't many peer reviewed ...

Thank you.

Thank you again. I'm trying to get a better understanding of why it's okay to do needling while collagen is still forming from a prior procedure. I realize this is less invasive than a doctor's offic...

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. That is very helpful. I’d like to ask you a question: How soon after subcision would you recommend IF needling or dermastamping? Thanks aga...

Hi. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Dallas area who specializes in acne scar revision? Specifically, I'm looking for someone who does 1) Subcision 2) Sculptura (diluted) 3) Steroi...

Hi. I would be grateful for anyone who would view my photos and recommend treatment. The photos were taken with different cameras and lighting, but they were all taken within a few weeks of each oth...

Hi. I'm new here and trying to post picture in the gallery. I can't figure out how to do this. I tried but there is not option to upload. Thanks in advance.
