Curious

Dr. Alexander Berlin in DFW treats scarring. I know he does subcision, TCA CROSS, lasers, etc. Someone here posted some years ago about getting subcision from him. You can search the forums and read a...

I went to see Dr. Berlin in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I first considered this almost 20 years ago but could not find someone near me who did it. Life happened and I didn't focus on my scars for a lo...

Hey Leo, Congrats on getting gradual improvement. I hope it keeps up.   I was wondering if you had talked to Dr. Shah about a couple of things I am wondering: punch technique for very small pick...

carrie, Thanks, and I hope your appmt. goes well. Look forward to hearing about it!

Hi Leo or anyone else, How are things going since you saw Dr. Shah? Please keep us updated! I am very interested in him, and I wish you success.

Thanks Misty for always being so informative. Will you do anything to smooth things over if the floats need it?

Candy,   I'm wondering what happened when you had your microdermabrasion to scar you even more. Was it a very deep one, as most don't break the skin as I understand it unless there's a lot of ac...

Speaking of this, although I think this disorder is rare and I probably don't have it, I'm not sure where some of my scars come from. I think for the most part this is because when I was younger I di...

Yes, I have quite a few scarred pores from this very thing. In fact, I never had teribble acne, so as a result most of my scarring is these scarred pores (with a few smaller pits from actual pimples)...

I forgot to ask earlier - dermpatron, since Dr. Y floated stuff you didn't think he initially could - how are things that aren't round floated since the tool is round? Thanks!

Congrats dermpatron. Please keep us updated on the punch float healing. I'm having a few in a month followed by a spot derma if need be. Thanks!   Glad to hear you're happy with your results p...

Thanks a lot Kwi. How were the final results of the floats before the dermabrasion. Did they blend in well, and how long did it take?   Thanks again! It is so helpful hearing other people's ex...

Steven,   Did you have your punch floats back in November? I am wondering how they healed without the dermabrasion yet. I am having a few in June and have a function to go to almost three weeks...

Kiki,   I'm sorry to hear of these developments. I believe you said you wanted to keep your conversation with Dr. Y private. I was wondering if you're willing to tell if he offered any possible...

Wildcard,   I know you didn't ask me, but I can offer a little based on my consult with Dr. Y. From what I can tell, the best ones to float are small round pitted ones that are too deep for derm...

Sunblock,   Glad you feel more at ease just after the punches! How long does the discoloration take to fade, and is it easily covered with makeup? I can't wait for punches, but of course it has...

Had my consult with Dr. Y Monday. I didn't mention the board as I was referred by a friend, but he asked about it and said he's been sent printouts from it. I didn't have my floats yet, but apparent...

Also, to everyone getting punch floats,   I'm curious how quickly any discoloration fades, so keep updating and happy healing!   Thanks!

Wildcard,   I will ask him on Monday, since that's one of the things I'm not sure about. I know that most of my scars are small and shallow, but I also know I have a few which are slightly large...

dolmal,   Yes, I will be there next Monday at 8:30, bright and early. Unfortunately I have to leave for the airport right after, but I am flying in on Saturday and staying with friends.

Hi sunblock,   I am having a consult with Dr. Y on Monday, so I guess I will get all my questions answered, but I was just wondering...were a few of the spots you had floated pretty close togethe...

Thanks animegirl. I hope your apptmt. date remains unchanged! I have scheduled my consult for Dec. 20, but may be able to move it up earlier. I know I want a few punch floats, so I guess I would ne...

I was just in New Orleans visiting a friend from college who is in dermatology residency (we went to college there). She actually had dermabrasion by Dr. Y for a dog bite scar on her face, and of cour...

Ooops. I meant to post that on the other thread. Sorry about that. I will do that now.
