I'm not sure how to get rid of this but every time I apply foundation to my face my nose gets really flaky, almost sandpaper like. I try to exfoliate my nose a couple times a week but the dry flakey s...

Very confused of what course of action to take to treat my cycstic acne scars (indents across my cheeks primarily). I've been to a few medical spas/dermas and they've all provided me with a different ...

Thanks for the response - the tea tree oil i use says TEA TREE OIL 20% LOTION and I apply it directly on the acne a couple of times at night. Is that too strong? It's been 4 days and counting and this...

For the most part i've never had acne problems but was tagged with a bout of cystic acne at age 25 which then subsided a few months later after undergoing antibiotics and what not! However, it's been ...

Yes, thats why i'm looking into it. Too afraid to try lasers or resurfacing. Still trying to figure out which dermaroller/stamp to buy and from where. PM me if you have a link or website you suggest. ...

My scars are very similar to yours - more prominent on one side over the other. Mainly on my cheeks.   You mentioned in one of your earlier posts that you tried dermarolling. Did you notice any ...

Can you speak a little more about LEDS. I'm not sure what they are or their purpose or if you can even do it at home? I'm considering dermarolling (not a fan of lasers or any sort of surgery).   ...

Sorry if you covered this somewhere but I'm new to all this and wanted to know if what you did is the same thing as fractional laser resurfacing? In particular the Lux1540 of the Gold Standard Palomar...

Yeah I saw both Dr. Keller and Dr. Chan in the last few weeks. I think in my situation all the dermas are recommending I get rid of the redness of the scars first before trying any treatment so it wil...

I didn't notice the scarring actually - I think I was too preoccupied with the other cysts around ITs now when i'm acne free that i'm seeing all the results.   As for the dehydration of the ski...

1. Popping my cystic acne - left me with bad icepick scars 2. Not getting them injected by a dermatologist while they are massive and cystic. My dermatologist never recommended it to me 3. Not apply...

I'm from Toronto as well and am looking into getting this done - seriously, there is no one else that practices this? I did a google search and apparently Dr.Betty Chan (I go to her for another treatm...
