Even if he improved his scars with somethings That picture looks airbrushed and probably is since it's a posed headshot. I hate to say it but I don't think you can go from looking like what he used ...

I am changing the the title to Does accutane improve scarring.

Bottom line: your not being exposed to blood born pathogens. Unless the doctor gets blood on the tip from aids or hepatitis patient, does your face and makes it bleed mixing the blood within a couple...

Rupert,   Can you clear up something? If Isolagen is your own cells cultured how is it different from just removing cells like from the back of your ear (like how they are extracted in skin graf...

Merged for your viewing enjoyment . I really like Neutrogena's ultrasheer sunblock too.

No, Blinny the MTZ are not visible to unaided normal vision so they cannot cause a problem as noticeable as an enlarged or scarred pore. The only things I can attribute to this is microswelling or re...

Some doctors charge a consultation fee regardless of the procedure you are asking about. For NYC $200 maybe normal but $350 seems a bit outrageous. Again they have to pay for their staff, office lea...

I doubt that fraxel can actually open up pores permanently, since the actual burned surface is a small dot much smaller than a pore. I think it does stimulate the skin surface enough to cause microsw...

NEC, I restarted less than 2 months ago cause I was splitting pills. Splitting pills makes them less effective but if you want an answer now I would have to say no I don't see any significant improve...

A guy by the name of Meet Pete who used to post here did some treatments. I think 2 at 30 and 1 at 40. The 40 left him with lingering redness that I think still hasn't gone yet. He said he had no r...

Cameron,   I don't doubt you have little to no improvement but is cramming all these treatments together weekly advisable? I know you have been through alot of treatments and I too am quite lear...

cubsfan,   Have you had any indented scars completely dissappear and stay gone at 4 weeks out?

Here's a question. Has anyone had any scars completely disappear and stayed away at least 6 weeks past Fraxel?

Wow Misty,   Even close up your skin looks really nice. Is this your last treatment? I mean at some point you are going to be satisfied right? I mean I would hate to see you on here at 50 talk...

Here's an update for you antsy ones.   I unfortunately don't have any conclusions because of the following reasons.   1. I definitely think the Tazorac was making my skin worse and I stop...

why wouldnt the docs do a test patch somewhere on the body less visible, let it sit for a year or 6 mos or something and then decide if they can do it in the face or not? if it's going to react badly...

Hey sword,   Just a suggestion but you might want to go back and edit your very first post in this thread to update your position now on the dermabrasion as some people reading this thread won't ...

I am pretty sure sapphire is talking about 8mm in diameter and not 8mm deep.

I don't think it matters who the doctor is. Some people are just prone to allergic reactions to silicone causing the bumps. Works great for some and disasterous for others.

Hey emmanual,   This might clear things up. The following link describes that if a drug is FDA approved for a specific use it can also be for other purposes at the descretion of the doctor in an...

emmanuel,   Silicone in the pure forms of adatosil or silikon can be used off label legally if mutually agreed upon by the physician and patient. This is the first clear cut case I have read abo...

I have not seen any negative side effects and I won't be making any judgments until 3 months have past.

Thanks for the input. 400 mg is a quite a bit more than 25 mg. By the way in the psoriasis study there was mention that when a particular patient went above 100 mg that his skin improvements diminis...

Faye, there was no discussion of scarring improvements with my doc.

Faye, The topiramate was prescribed for migraines, which even at 25 mgs I have seen improvement in headaches but it could also be partial placebo effect.   Kady, I don't know what to tell you abo...
