Rock - subcision, skin needling and NLite - I have had them all - so yes, all suitable for our type of Asian skin. Not2bad - you are very pretty with or without scars. Your scars do not detract agai...

Sothernbelle - Thank you Not2bad - are they ice picks? Like holes? - your photos are not too clear - but if your camera is like mine, then I'd say they are ice picks - in fact, your scars look sim...

Hrm. I would diagnosis you as having moderate rolling scars with boxscars as well. I don't think you have ice picks - not sure. Tryingtoimprove - I agree - doesn't look you have ice picks -excisio...

1. Maya-is the riskof hyperpigmentation for the surrounding unscarred skin as well if you do a punch excision? 2. My scars are also darker than my surround skin which makes them even more noticeable. ...

My 5.5 day update: The pinkness has gone down a bit - I am getting some flaking around the scars, a couple of them have tiny scabs in the middle of them. DO NOT PICK!! I applied makeup today and ...

Please Anyone, How can i find a doctor in London who carries out tca cross treatment and punch excision apart from Dr Chu. What's wrong with Dr Chu? As far as I am aware, there aren't many in the UK...

Rock Needling wasn't effective for my deep ice picks (I am 40 so maybe it's just me... my collagen growth 'aint what it used to be!) - it did help with shallower scars Subcision - that helped to r...

Rock - I am Asian myself - half Indian and half Chinese... so definately, this is suitable for us At present, most of the ice pick scars are still slightly indented, but I anticipate them filling ...

I'm taking photos but it's not worth posting anything now until I have had more time to see the final results - my camera isn't that good with detail, so it will be better to wait till I've accomplish...

Denise - Anna posted this before: They sell 100% (plus other percentages) of TCA Oh... and it's www.loganwoodskincare.com I've bought glycolic from them b4 and they were very efficient with good...

will - my skin definately healed up/sealed quickly - I mean, when I pulled the stitches out there wasn't even a drop of blood. I guess I will have to wait a few weeks to get a better indication on s...

OK!! I've just cut off all the stitches myself 8-[ - using tweezers to lift the stitches up and a haberdashery thread unpicker to cut the thread. No bleeding at all , but very pink and slightly raw ...

jasmine - thanks for that! It's nice to have others here who have already had the procedure and can update on what to expect in the future. Latest by day 5?????? My doc said 5-7 days... but I can se...

ariel - no, I haven't had TCA in any form - it's not available where I live. Donna - the lines are meant to fade over time but I will need to see about that - saying that, I prefer a line to a hole...

not2bad Yes, there was a little discolouration in the centre of the ice picks - but the way the scars have been sewn up, there will be no viewable discolouration apart from the fine line. I am get...

Hey thanks Denise and Imbue I've received my next appointment for more excision on the 8th of October - I will most likely need another one after that (because of the close proximity of my ice pic...

My 3 day update - wow!! :D/ Of the 12 scars excised - 11 of them look amazing - 1 think one of them needed 2 stitches instead of 1 (because of the length of the scar) so that one may need to be do...

Yes, Only 1 week because you have the stitches in for 5 days - after that, no one will notice (but you will feel better about the scars he's worked on)

I think a plastic surgeon - but some derms also offer this too - ask them how long/how many times they have done this - experience is more important than job title. The Doc I used in the UK is a der...

If I were to find a surgeon or dermatologist that could perform the excision on my scars either this month or next month do you guys think I would be ok and ready to go by November 5th. I live in Los ...

The only thing I regret is that I didn't have excision earlier!! That is also one of the reasons I recommend anyone who's considering excision to go to a plastic surgeon (unless your derm is very s...

OK - 2 day update (it seems like much longer) The fine red lines have now formed scabs - so they don't look so fine anymore since the scabs are slightly raised, but I guess when the scabs come off ...

Hi Maria O:) - well, the swelling is going down so quickly - and it was only the injections that were painful - even after the numbing wore off, only a little sore, but not painful. I have been ap...

Yeah, I love seet potatoes too.. I like slicing them and spraying Olive oil over them and baking - YUM!!!

The skin around the stitches is kind of puffy and swollen coz the stitches are on so tight - the stitches are kind of making indents into my skin and pushing the skin on the sides up and out - hope it...
