I feel your pain. My situation is perhaps not as bad as yours but I too have numerous random scars on my face, some look like acne scars and some don't. I know for a fact that at least some of them ap...

It's because collagen re-modelling is bullshit. Dermapen, lasers, needling, none of that works, it's all marketing spin and pseudo science.

well that's hardly encouraging. but vbeam isn't really the most advanced laser. guys i'm just depressed now and astounded how far we are in so many areas of technology and yet we have nothing. there...

I know someone who had a large mole excised from her cheek. The mole was about the same size as a small bunch of acne scars. She now has a faint white line that looks a lot better than a bunch of pits...

Im getting impatient with the progress of dextran hydrogel Read between the lines. They ran the experiment, they didn't get the results they hoped for so they are running it again and that's why it ...

This post is endless, isn't it? It will end when scarless healing is a reality, so maybe another 40 or 50 years. Either then or when we all get sick of waiting.

"The U.S. wound care market has been estimated at as much as $21 billion annually. And while many large companies dominate, Davis says there is room in niche markets, such as the treatment of diabetic...

Congrats, your skin looks great. Do you think any one treatment helped the most. How many silicone treatments did you get and can you microneedle after silicone?

Latest update from FB re hydrogel. Who is this and how do they know what's going on with the trials, they've already been wrong on the completion date. "Have just been informed that animal trials ar...

The thing about those photos is they were taken immediately after treatment. As I understand it the benefits from silicone are supposed to accrue gradually as collagen grows around the microdroplets. ...

Impressive alright. The doctor who treated him seems to be an acne scar specialist and has developed his own protocols around treating them. Has any one else used him? I do wonder how much of the imp...

Apparently mice don't scar. It's all explained in the article at the link below. Might this be the reason the hydrogel seemed so effective in the mice experiments? I don't want to sound too pessimist...

  nerdkid or college or whatever, you must read this. HIDROGEL IS NOT WORK hahahaha Omg, the amount of times we've talked about hydrogel you'd think you would be able to spell it correctly. ...

I've been needling for over 6 months now and its done virtually nothing for me. All but one of my scars look the same or possibly even a little worse. One has filled in to a degree but I can tell from...

I had some fillers done in the past (restalyn). I only saw improvement when there was the initial swelling. After it went down, I had some bumps on my face that did not improve the scars. I truly beli...

Anyone heard of this? Might be useful to stop scar formation after acne scar excisions.

I agree with your intelligent post Hiddy Cheeks!! Yes, sugar/ refined carbs/ gluten/ dairy/ processed foods etc can also lead to acne. Btw, the reason that I'm so skeptical of the 'genetic causes argu...

Yes, I doubt diet has much to do with scars or acne at all. Take your average college hunk, he parties and bangs all the young women in their prime, meanwhile he drinks hard and doesn't even know what...

  Why are they testing the gel on pigs before people? If this is primarily being developed as a treatment for humans why not go straight to human trials or least do them side by side with pig t...

Eager, it sounds to me like you are caught in a perpetual negative feedback loop of your own making. You cynically and incorrectly expect the worst form others, this determines how you relate to other...

At the bottom of that page they mention an extended abstract that isn't uploaded. I'm assuming they will at some point do so. Where's the bit about scarless healing? All I see is: "Burn wounds treat...

Hi Hiddy Cheeks and NUBY3, It's been several months since either of you posted here and I wanted to check in and see how the needling has working out for you both so far? Have you seen improvement? ...
