Here is a photo taken in regular lighting. Can you see where the needles from the subcision were entered? I don't know if that's from the first subcision, the second subcion, or if I always had them.P...

Here is the valley the doctor pointed out to me. He said he could do another subcision prp and then an infinity on both sides at a reduced rate. I am really upset. How long would I have ...

I had my second subcision along with PRP and CO2 Laser earlier this month. I went to get a second consultation by a very well known acne scar plastic surgeon and he said the subcision performed on me ...

@beautifulambition would an excision or punch excision be safe for the nose?

@beautifulambition perhaps I should just do several more subcision along with the suctioning instead of with the lasers... This way I will have less down time... Tomorrow I am going to have a well...

@beautifulambition thank you again for your response. I just got done cupping (suctioning) and I am disappointed because I see the scars on my left temple becoming more pronounched again. This is so s...

@beautifulambition should I be using any skin product while I am using the suction device? Should I glide the suction device over the area or only use it right on top of each scar that had subcision o...

@beautifulambition since my partner is a nurse, would it be a mistake if I asked her to inject saline into my scars after I used the suction device? I would think this is risky since she's not a cosme...

I'm still worried about the size of the scarred pore on my nose. I'm going to see a well known plastic surgeon about it monday before I go for a follow up with the dermatologist.

I was just looking at photos of myself taken by a doctor. I look so horrible I can't believe it. I look worse than I thought. How did I get this bad? Not only is my skin scared, but I have deep wrinkl...

@beautifulambition I want to post before and after photos of my procedures. Should I post it here or start a new thread? I can't believe how horrible I looked. I see some improvement but I still looks...

Hi @klessard thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

When I used to drink (I was never a big drinker) my acne would get very inflamed. Say I had one beer, one pimple would swell up a lot! I couldn't believe it.

@beautifulambition thanks for your reply. The balm I was talking about is Very high end... expensive. I did have it on last night but will not have it on that area tonight where the pimple is. ...

@beautifulambition is it safe to put the balm on top of an active pimple?

Hi again @beautifulambition It's been two weeks since my Subcision/PRP/c02 Laser. Everything seems to becoming along fine. I've been following the directions. One thing I notice, I still have slight p...

@beautifulambition thank you for your input. I will check out the Hydrocolloid patch at CVS. Perhaps I will just wait. Not sure yet.

Hi @beautifulambition I use a CPAP mask that has straps. The doctor said I could start using it again. I do have a pimple that I don't want the strap to go over. What way do you suggest I protect that...

I use a CPAP Machine. The CPAP Mask has a strap that touches my face. I have a pimple now and the strap will either go over it or near it. I'm afraid the strap will cause the pimple to get irritated o...

Hi @Tcacrossfirsttimer do you have any updates on the TCA Cross treatment on your nose? I had a TCA Cross on my nose and have the same concern as you. It looks wider and a bit red. However, I had othe...

@whoop I feel your pain. I have had the same type of acne and scars on my chest and back. The scars on my chest did kind of flatten out better over the years.

I have wondered about accutane. It would be interesting to learn what others say about it. I heard good things and bad things. How did you know it was hormonal acne? Is there any treatment they can...
