I've been through the same thing. 90% of my scarring occurred after finishing Accutane and it got worse every passing month. I now take an anti-histamine each day as recommended by lamaar on this bo...

I've had three dermapen treatments and 1 dermaroller treatment all performed in a clinic. The needle length was 1.5mm. I didn't get any results aside from nice glowing skin for about three weeks aft...

It depends how much filler you need as it could be quite costly. Also if your scars are tethered filler won't help as you will get a doughnut effect.

Hi JustMeUk I was wondering if you'd care to post an update on how your treatment has gone? Unfortunately i didn't get the results i wanted. I had a few treatments but it just didn't make any diffe...

Justmeuk, have you had your second subcision already? I have less than two weeks before mine-Monday, March 11th. I'll have 9 days off to somewhat recover before returning back to work. I'm becoming ve...

The doctors i know of are Dr Chu, Dr Patel, Dr Maini, Dr Khan, Dr Simon Lee and Wessex skin clinic. If you search the forum you should be able to find out more. Definitely see a doctor that is exper...

I didn't get TCA cross from him as i had three rounds of it with Dr Chu and it did a reasonable job of filling in most of my boxcars. Please keep us updated if you decide to go for the ematrix and le...

TCA Cross is best for ice picks along with excision. I think you would do well with TCA cross.

Have you had TCA cross at Hammersmith? That helped quite a bit with some of my boxcars. Dr Chu will probably just advise the same as the derms you've already seen at Hammersmith as they have all bee...

I'm sure if you just want to go straight to co2 he would do that, perhaps he is just trying to save you money by trying the matrix first. I've been recommended to have the co2 with him, he hasn't men...

I've seen Dr Patel and he's a really good doctor who isn't just in it for the money. If he was in it for the money he wouldn't be willing to deduct the cost of the Ematrix from the C02. It sounds to...

How are things going for you, justmeUK? Hi, I still have the lumps but they've gone down a lot now. Only one of them is still visible but it has reduced in size by about 50% and although it still l...

I've used Arnica in the past as a means to avoid bruising and I can't say that it did anything to help at all. You are correct - the bruising process plays a large role I the healing process. During m...

My scars have worsened over time too, mainly the rolling ones. I think scars look worse as we age as when we loose collagen the skin isn't as plump as it was and the scars tend to show up more. Have...

I'm going for another subcision next week and i'm considering taking arnica or applying it topically to hopefully lessen the amount of bruising i get. This might be a daft question but will it someho...

Did you actively use BP during the 15 years dealing with acnes? Only ever a couple of times as my skin couldn't tolerate it. Roaccutane promotes poor healing which leads to scarring which probably ...

I heard the antihistamine thing as well. Which one do you take? I just take a supermarket own brand once a day one. It contains Cetirizine hydrochloride. They're only cheap to buy and i spoke to t...

You're results are looking great. I can definitely see an improvement, hopefully they'll be even more as time goes on.

I don't think you should have to pay anything to resolve this, it is your employers responsibility and they have a duty of care towards you. They must have insurance to cover this. Have you spoken t...

You could look at purchasing a dermaroller and doing it yourself.

I have suffered this too and i take an antihistamine daily as it's supposed to reduce some of the inflammation that can cause acne scarring. I'd recommend you start taking a daily antihistamine to mi...

so is the retin a cream basically a type of acid or peel ? i think that'll help my skin alot ...and can you buy the vitamin c cream anywhere or do you have to order it? Retin-A can cause peeling and...

I'm going to try this but i was wondering if the cream negates the need for a vitamin c serum? I use a diy serum at the moment but should i stop using this if i'm going to use the cream? I don't wan...

How are things going for you justmeuk? To be honest things look pretty much the same, i still have the lumps and and they haven't got smaller despite me massaging them twice a day and applying hot c...
