I had a really bad reaction to Bio-Oil that I think made my scarring worse, so be very careful with it. If it stings, your face gets red and raw, or you get a 'browning' effect, stop using it straigh...

Hey guys, hope you're all doing ok. I started my fraxel re:store course, so far it's looking bright. I didn't have too big expectations from the first session as it was promised to me, that I'll see 1...

How did the actual procedure go? Any pain or anything? Your profile picture is awesome btw!

people who commit suicide are the bravest people on this rock   It's like a guy who's trapped in a burning building and chooses to jump out the window rather than just wait for the fire right?

Just a bit of a quick update. I'm being referred to a dermatologist when I go to have my blood taken in a fortnight, so I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment. I've started taking small steps towards...

Wow! For someone who hates to even have my blood taken, this made me squirm. A lot.

Subcision + Filler and Dermarolling for your deeper rolling scars. TCA cross for your icepicks and few boxscars. I can see 80% improvement with your skin. Thanks for the reply! It does look a lot w...

I'm not sure if you're from the UK, but, if you are, get yourself to your GP. They'll put you on some anti-biotics for your active acne, and that'll improve things a lot. Like they say, prevention is ...

congratulations on the improvement!

Pianina Just gotta echo missamua's thoughts on this. If it doesn't affect you that's great. Really. But for a lot of people it does, and being so condescending doesn't really help anyone does it? From...

I'm 22, and the last two years have been nothing but this. It sucks

what kind of scars do you have skillet? i know how you feel i been there before. i have contimplated it many times and just like u i havent for the love i have for my mother and my family. the best ...

I have some pretty deep scarring on my left cheek. I believe they're icepick scars? I started a thread a week or so ago, but these pictures show the problem a lot better. Any ideas what kind of treat...

I'd be over the moon to see these kind of improvements!

The improvement is quite drastic, and sharing your story is awesome. No one realises, but it takes a strength of character to keep battling through it the way you've done!

I'm in the process of getting myself to see a dermatologist, but here in the UK referrals have lengthy waiting lists and to even be referred can take several months of seeing different doctors and bei...

Anyone? For me I just get so down about it I honestly feel the urge to. I know it might seem stupid to an outsider, but it's on my mind all the time lately, and the only thing that's stopped me is tha...

To me this just looks like enlarged pores?

I'm not massively knowledgeable on the topic, but from what I gather, the acne breakout is very normal, and if anything, a good sign. It shows that your skin has gone into a 'hyper repair mode', which...

Oh. Damnnnnnn.

So what do you think? Does heavy smoking have any impact on acne and scarring?
