Hiddy Cheeks

Aren't people getting ahead of themselves on this, as I understand it this is being developed as a treatment for burn injuries and ulcers, not acne scars. Those are quite different things and the rese...

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? ...

how long are the needles on your dermapen? looks like they don't sell anything above .5mm unless you're a doctor.

I don’t think you’re scars look so bad, they’re moderate rather than severe and for whatever reason scars look better on some people and worse and others. You, I think, fall into the former group. A...

wow this thread was started in 2007. Almost 7 years ago. AND THERE HAS BEEN NOT A SINGLE IMPROVEMENT IN EVEN MODERATELY HEALING ACNE SCARS. 7 YEARS. SO MUCH FOR KURZWEIL AND "EXPONENTIAL GROWTH" IN BI...

You look like you've made significant progress. I applaud your persistence and dedication. I'm wondering, have you tried or considered fillers? You're might be at a stage now where they can give you t...

My strong impression from reading online feedback is that the biggest risk you face is paying lots of money for a procedure that delivers results that are poor to non existent. Yes, some people report...

I found this article which relates to another clinic in the UK that offers this treatment. The thing that puts me off is that he is claiming after four treatments there will be an improvement of more...

So the body will naturally fill in deep indents caused by cortisone injections but it won't fill in even very shallow indents caused by acne. I don't get that???

I have been a member here since 2009 and desperate for normal skin. I had subcision (2 times) , Sculptra (5 times), fractional CO2 laser(>10 times) not alone other useless procedures such as Coolto...

You can't do anything with active acne. I believe you will only prolong your treatment period by using the conservative approach. Fractionalized Ablative Lasers are the Gold standard for treating sc...

Hi, it has been a while I have never been active in this forum. However, as I keep reading this thread, I find it very entertaining so I can't control myself but to post my comment.. As a person with ...

Hmm, out of curiosity. Does demarcation lines emerge often after fraxel re:pair? The scars on my cheek are actually very focused in a tight area and feathers off outwards; the skin along my jawline is...

Posts like yours are really heart wrenching.I can feel how distressed you are because of your current predicament. In fact i am in the same situation as yours.I feel shameful sometimes that i let a pu...

IMO before and after photos are worthless. Remember, these people want your money so there's a powerful motivation for them to put after photos that show a person's skin literally in the best possible...

I have a couple of these scars. They are very shallow and quite neat and symmetrical. They remind me of the imprint that small fossils leave in rocks. Mine are all on the right side of my face, which ...

Nothing is worse than acne I agree. I had a flare up recently and it was a reminder that big red cysts look a lot worse then scars. True that. Im on my 5th going 6th week now and im still gettin...

Nothing is worse than acne I agree. I had a flare up recently and it was a reminder that big red cysts look a lot worse then scars.

I had a 10 day course of this that I finished about a week ago because the cystic acne I had got severely infected and painful, making my glands, lips and eyes swell up. It massively brought down the ...

So 8 weeks into accutane (40mg a day) I get a real bad outbreak, probably the worst I've ever had. Distraught and frustrated I go to see my doctor who suggests I start taking antibiotics. I agree. As ...

Hi, I just joined this community/forum today because i am at my wits end too. I am 43 years old and have fought cyctic acne since i was a teen. I have been on Accutane 3 times, the most recent was wh...

What this derm says is consistent with the many negative reviews of laser treatments posted by patients on this site and others.

sounds like subcision with a laser.

Maybe it's realistic for some people to spend thousands of dollars on uncertain treatments, but I'd argue it's not the common sense move for most. Having said this, acceptance might be a bit of a chea...

Right now, I am satisfied with how my complexion looks. As I've mentioned in the past, my skin is not perfect today even after all of the subcision treatments, laser treatments, TCA CROSS peels, etc....
