  The treatment I am having done is Fraxel, I heard that risks and downtime is lower with this treatment?   What percentage of improvement is usually expected for rolling scars using frax...

A few years ago I tried to pop a cyst with a needle too and ended up with a big sunken scar. I had scar revision on it this summer so that may be one option. The scar was cut out and the skin was stit...

your welcome! i believe it helps more for pigment and some minor minor scarring but thats about it. the only scars i had that looked better were some real shallow ones near my left cheek but the impro...

Hello everyone! I have co2 laser treatment coming up but my doctor hasn't mentioned anything about me having a patch test done. He has felt my skin on my face every pre-appointment I have had to make ...

Which one of these creams causes the skin to go white temporarily when applied? I've tried both in the past but I can't remember which one had this effect. I have bright red skin from a TCA burn and I...

I thought I would post an update on this. I did a 50% TCA peel on the area around two weeks ago. It burnt quite severely. The final scab came off today and the scar has filled in. The area however is...

This is an old post but I'd just like to mention that the derma stamp didn't work for me on this scar. I purchased a 1.5 mm derma stamp and used it a few times over the space of a few months. I drew b...

I've tried TCA in the past and I'm so desperate to use it again but I can't because of the down time. I can't exactly go into school with a bright red face and burnt skin. It's so frustrating. Has any...

Really? That's disappointing to hear. The picture doesn't do the scar justice because it's deep and bright red, I have to use concealer on it every day. Do you think TCA could work? I've used 100% g...

Has anyone here had a dermabrasion treatment done? (not microdermabrasion). Is there any risk of scarring, and did it work? How much did it cost? I want to have it done for a deep scar on the bridg...

I'm still suffering with this scar - because it's still red and quite deep. What professional options do I have?     I'm still suffering with this scar - it's still red and deep. What prof...

I'm currently 24. During my teenage years I was on antibiotics for probably 2 to 3 years in total. I've still been getting spots and a cyst that keep filling up, and my doctor asked if I wanted to go...

Has anyone had some good results, with pictures? Is the 0.75 - 1.5mm one painful?

I'm thinking of buying one for this scar. I'd go for a 0.75-1.5mm one.

I'm interested in the derma stamp. What exactly is this and where can I get it done?

It really bothers me though. It's red, so it stands out. I have to use concealer on it even though I'm a guy.

I've had it for a long time. I did a glycolic acid peel last week but it looks exactly the same as it did before. Help

Do you think so? It's been around 8 months to a year (can't remember) since I've had it and I've seen no visible improvements. I think I'll try a glycolic peel again.

Hi, I had a cyst on the bridge of my nose early last year. It left a deep scar that hasn't got better since. It's around 2 mm * 2 mm and the redness hasn't faded. I cover it with concealer but bec...
