I am three months into my iodine/Lugol's trial. I notice definite changes in texture and some change to a deeper scar on one cheek. I am going to keep my fingers crossed and keep going. SO far this is...

I am continuing with my iodine protocol: apply once a day at bedtime. It has been approximately 2.5 months. I am more than willing to put up with the dryness and peeling. I think it helps my skin text...

Hi All,   I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!   Scars4life is correct. If you want to try the topical iodine method then do exactly as prescribed and try it for at least 6-months befo...

Update: 2 weeks- skin peeled off a layer but scar underneath is exactly the same. I will be willing to give this another month and then I may quit. If there is not even a slight improvement by that...

Hi All,   Has anyone ever tried needling and applying this directly to the face afterward? By this I mean, pouring it out of the capsule and using your finger to put it on your skin.   Just ...

Truly amazing! You look fabulous! Thank-you for posting your pics. It must feel like a tons of weights have been lifted off your shoulders to have your skin look so pristine. I hope I can share that f...

We don't know the effects of Acell on humans, but we should have some serious evidence of its effectiveness on animals before we can decide what to do next.   Could anybody point to an article ab...

I was bored so I emailed Acell and this is what they said.   Me: just curious on if your product will benefit someone with excision and acne scarring? if a scar is already formed can ECM regenera...

Hi All!   Would MatriStem would on skin that has just been rolled? I am really tempted to purchase this from the AmericanRX site (looks like they are still selling sans prescription). Before I do...

Hey All, I have a question regarding dermaroller frequency. How often do you use them? I know there have been discussions in several of the topics suggesting 6 weeks per treatment (assuming you are u...
