  Oh, just remembered. Send a note to Dr Jason Emer. He's in Beverly Hills now. Used to be in San Fran. He might be a derm surgeon (vs PS) But experienced nonetheless. I exchanged emails with...

Stitch comes out tomorrow! I've changed the steri-strip a few times already. It's hard to tell how things are going to turn it at this point. Here's the best before pic I could find. The scar I had...

Just wondering when you started putting makeup on again? I'm healing from my first punch excision right now. A small one to start. The stitch comes out on Fri. I hope to wear makeup by the Mon when ...

Of the ones you listed, I think Dr Mark Taylor has the most specialization in acne scarring. Also, some of his patients have posted online and showed tremendous results. The one caveat is that there...

    Hi. I emailed mark Taylor he quoted 7k doing subcision, 20 excisions and fraxel repair. Still keeping that in mind but 20 excisions!! Yikes that scares the crap out I me!

You can but tbh, I'm not a believer. Tried 5 sessions, including dermastamp. No results. It has its advocates though. Must work for some people I guess.

Treating the redness will make a big difference. Might be a good first step. Have you heard of Mark Taylor? Saw some good reviews on RealSelf. It's a good resource for before/after pics and doc rev...

Can't see your pics.

I spent A LOT of money on dermarolling/derma stamping. 5 sessions. Zero results. It does improve overall skin quality so all is not lost. However, I'd explore other options.

Looks great! Thanks so much for sharing. Great pics too! I wish you all the best.

See a derm or PS. You have options though. Maybe start with silicone gel? Kenalog injections or excision are also an option. A doc will know for sure of course!

$350 for one punch? What kind of scarring do you have? Pics? Yes, $350. Bloody expensive, eh? Not totally out of whack though. The Derm surgeon I saw wanted $250 per punch. But as I said in my fi...

Hello!   I had my first punch excision today. It is so hard to find information on the net (especially before and after photos) so I promise to provide updates as things progress.   I was...

Subcision.

Did both. Wasn't happy with subcision (2x) or microneedling (5x). That said, I still think subcision works for the right person...with the right doctor. Good luck!

I forgot to mention this before, but because you have such few scars, I think you' benefit from the product Dermaflage. It's a topical filler, and it's ideal for people who only have one or two scars ...

i have a mixture of indented and raised scarring but am really only worried about the raised scarring so i had a full face erbium laser done and then i had 2 -co2's done on the raised scars on my chin...

Sorry but your doctors are clearly taking advantage of you. And yes your fixation on that one scar is a little disproportionate to the actual problem. The kind of money you've been throwing at this ...

wow that's nuts! $3200 for that one area? i was going to get Dermabrasion done on my chin area and it would have cost me $1550 but that was with anesthesia. i don't know if i will ever be able to do i...

dermarolling (5x), subcision + filler (2x), Profractional erbium laser (2x) and Smartxide CO2 laser (1x) FOR THOSE 2 SCARS? Jesus. Your doctor must be living the dream otop Those look like la...

I've tried dermarolling (5x), subcision + filler (2x), Profractional erbium laser (2x) and Smartxide CO2 laser (1x) with no results. Wondering if excision might be the best option for the 2 scars in...

Is there anyone who wants to discuss excisions/vent/share feelings? I had one, will need another one to fix it. I feel I can't handle this depression alone anymore without speaking to people who get i...

IMO, it won't help with icepicks. I did 5 sessions of professional dermarolling and it didn't do a darn thing for my scars (very shallow rolling scars and 3-4 medium depth boxcar scars). My overall ...
