Factoid

Isn't the suction supposed to induce bruising? Transitory redness doesn't seem like much.....

Mild chemical peels, Vitamin C serum, patience.

Or just have one good deep resurfacing procedure and be done with it.   Phantom scarring is all the rage now, it seems.

Are there actual studies of this? I'm genuinely asking, not trying to make a point. You say the most severe scarring tends to coincide with Accutane usage, maybe that is because people with the most s...

You don't know how bad people's scarring is unless they post pics, assuming that the majority of people posting/lurking here have minor or insignificant scarring because some of them have freaked out ...

You also e-needled too, I believe, the more treatments you combine the better the end result. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive, it just needs to be the right approach.

But the fact that some here develop serious anxiety, social disorders and depression from something that is absolutely not justified is the real problem. My best advice for OP is to go see a psychiatr...

Why are people still using copper peptides? There's scarcely any clinical evidence of note for the first generation, the less said about the second gen the better.   Also, properly administered ...

Tretinoin increases cell turnover and stimulates collagenesis, it can't "scar" you in any way. Are you moisturizing properly? Improper hydration while on retinoids is recipe for the uglies.

Congrats. Slow and steady wins the race, guys.

The amount of ill-informed misconceptions about human biology in this thread makes my head hurt.

See an actual physician.

The way lasers are marketed these days its hard to blame people for thinking they're a quick, easy, fix, they seem so futuristic and hi-tech while low-tech approaches like subcision, needlings and CRO...

Dude, jerking off doesn't cause acne, if it did 100% of males would have it. ALL THE TIME lol.

Don't forget TCA CROSS, at 100% concentration it yields an average improvement of around 70%, even more if further treatments are performed.

Lasers are best for blending in, not filling up.

I believe you believe, its just that there is no basis in human biochemistry to make what you say plausible, let alone possible. Its akin to somebody with an amputated limb claiming their hand is star...

Minimize sun exposure. Regular chemoexfoliation Use Vitamin C serum

I think the scars are a little too wide and big for TCA Cross. It's really designed for narrow but deep ice pick scarring.   Sufficiently deep boxcars can be CROSS'd, the only real danger of...

The more sun exposure the greater the risk of PIH persistence.

Actually, India is where combination therapy is yielding spectacular results, some patients have even managed to achieve Grade 0 aka no more scarring.   So don't despair, you're well-placed for ...

I'm going to post the following for the benefit of anybody thinking about trying this. Don't bother. There is no biochemical rationale for any of this, no clear mechanism to account for how caloric...

Pubmed.   And what you want is a tretinoin cream like retin-a.

PIH is not true scarring.   And fasting will not fill up your scars, to claim otherwise is quackery.
