What does that even mean? How is that even possible? He says he goes under the scars with lasers to eliminate them but I'm not sure how that's possible if scars reach the dermal layer which doesn't re...

I was just thinking about this the other day... literally 99% of the population has fairly normal skin, most without even trying. Some folks probably dry their faces with rags that haven't been washed...

Wish I could've kept the size of the pictures the same but I hope you all can see what I'm trying to show

Pdl is the way to go. Retinols won't do much, it's mainly a vascular issue which pdl targets

I've had the same experiences as you! I had a failed punch excision on two close-by ice pick scars that were healing like one big deep hole, and then I dropped some 100% tca into it and it healed comp...

With the wrong practitioner, yes. Very, very important you go to the right person for this. Subcision is something that not just anyone can do correctly. You can do it ten times with one doctor and se...

Anyone recall any instances of random things making your scars fill in? I've noticed on two different scars that whenever I break out again in that same spot, the scar remodels and completely flat...

I also found this study but it's tca cross 30% paired with microneedling Really good results!

That is so funny, I was just about to make a post about this in the latest success thread. I've been having good results with just tca 30 on some really old ice pick scars. I'm just testing it out on ...

Please don't give up. Look at this post by Dr. Lim. This girl's scars look very similar to yours and this is the improvement she got in only 9 months. It just took a few tca sessions, subc...
