No pain no gain - hope it turns out well for you. If you don't mind me asking - what type of scars do you generally have? How much approx % wise did the subcisions help? I'd say 95% of my scars wer...

Just to update what all has happened. Yesterday I went to my derm to have the Mixto done. The staff was ultra nice and all the pre-laser stuff went on without a hitch. A nurse sat me down and informed...

I'd say about 50% of what that doc said is pretty much what you're going to hear from any Derm/PS. On the other hand those prices are absolutely ridiculous and wayyyy out of the norm. Most docs offer ...

Excision should be your last option IMO. I'd try subcision or fillers first.

Kidrock - right now I do not see ANY improvement... i believe that is because when the laser hits the collagen it takes at least 3 months for the regrowth to happen. Right now all the swelling is gone...

okay friend we have good news! My doctor said im healing correctly, thats she is happy to see my skin this way because it meant that we got to the right levels in my skin and therefore collagen and th...

Results looks great. Your scars look more like minor imperfections than actual scars now. Going through with a laser treatment would be like icing on the cake.

IMO, you should be fine. Most of those studies about downtime after accutane are based on people taking accutane for 5-6+ months. I guess a good rule of thumb would be however long your on accutane is...

see this: also, would you consider posting before/after pics?   Yea, I'll probably end up posting before and afters. I kinda regret not doing it for my subcision treatments because I know how ...

Got a few extra dollars laying around so I decided to go have my first laser procedure done and another round of subcision ( my third ). My doc swears by the Mixto even though he has the Fraxel Re:Pai...

Subscision is not an instant fix. It takes a long time to see results (as you can see by my photos). It's been about 8 or 9 months since I first started subscision.   I don't know if I'd say it...

1. Risks - There are always a risk with any procedure that involves damaging the skin. However, from what I've read and from my experience there is very little risk when it comes to subcision. 2. I...

Why should releasing the tethers of a scar and keeping them from reattaching not work for every scar ? I mean every kind of scar is a scar because the tethers are pulling it down. No, Rolling Scar...

From what I've read, the way the suction technique study was conducted was with a microdermabrasion suction device. So, I'd imagine that just a suction cup would have a hard time duplicating those res...

Saline is basically just salt water. If all it took was a little salt water to permanently cure acne scars, then there would be no such things as Restylane or other injectable fillers that carry a muc...

Subcision by far is the best treatment for *ROLLING* (I can't emphasize this enough) scars. From my experience I had 5 pretty deep rolling scars and after two rounds of subcision, my scars are virtual...

Hey Matt, thanks for the update. I would like to echo mooboo119 here because his question wasn't answered yet. Basically, will subcision work for very shallow scars that can only be seen in certain li...

Has anyone had lasting results from subcision alone, without fillers or a fat transfer, etc? I'm wondering because I can't afford temporary fillers, and was wondering if, with a just few subcision t...

For people with rolling scars, the best thing to do is just go ahead and get subcision.   I tried injecting Perlane before I was able to find a doctor that did subcision and it kinda works but is...

I think you need to take your own advice and be happy with what you have. Your scars are nowhere near bad enough to be hindering your life. Odds are, you are the only one that is noticing them.  ...
