I'm always suspicous of posts from brand new members recommending/providing links to miracle products. Seriously, we have enough to deal with without having to figure out what advice is real/not real....

The doctor I spoke with actually does the subcision after, or as he fills. So he injects, looks for any donughting, and then does subcision as needed. Some people were saying on another thread how sub...

Oh honey I totally understand waht you're going through. Except in my case it was my husband I was afraid to talk to. Ridiculous, right? Everytime I went to tell him about my skin and how I felt, it w...

Great post Kesha. Question. Since remodelling occurs for 6-8 months, wouldn't it make sense to wait until after this time period to roll again? What impact does new wound creation have on that remodel...

Hey there. Did you get your period after you stopped breastfeeding, or are you still? I'm 4.5 months postpartum and breastfeeding (no period yet). Unfortunately I broke out like crazy the first half o...

Hey Linda - I have the same thing; a deep rolling scar that I'm fairly sure was due to a cortisone shot at least in part. Anyway I had a consultation with a doctor here about Laviv and he said to me i...

What other treatments have you done that you say haven't worked well?

Oh that's interesting about dermabrasion. I guess the alternative would be to do a full ablative laser, like the old fashioned CO2, to avoid the pin pricks. But I like that with dermabrasion you avoid...

Yeah that's what I'm worried about with Sculptra, but a lot of what I'm seeing won't respond to a traditional filler so I don't know. Recell would be done in conjuction with laser, no? I had a consult...

Hey Keribee - I understand and worry about the same thing. I want to show my daughter everything and enjoy doing so many different things with her. There's so much fun to be had and so much to share. ...

Siava - Thanks for your comments. It really does make me feel better to hear of other moms whose acne/scarring hasn't impacted their relationships. Yeah, that comment about thinking I shouldn't have h...

Thanks Vanity! Congrats on your baby as well. I know they are so cute, I can hardly stand it:) Makes me want more, but with this issue I don't know that I will. I wish my problem was just active acne,...

Thank you for the responses. It helps to have people relate and listen. Tricia - it's so good to hear that your son doesn't care. I think in some ways we just accept our parents as they are, and I h...

So I'm 31 years old and have a four month old daughter. I've had acne around my chin for years and started noticing skin changes (bumpiness, loss of collagen) a couple years ago. Then when I got pregn...

Oh someone else! Yay! haha. Have you had any hormonal testing done? How long did it take you to see results going gluten free and with the SP? Have you been tested for glutan intolerance? Anything els...

Hey there. Thanks for responding. I have always assumed it's something hormonal but I don't know what. I just read your other post and I feel for you about starting a family. My acne got way worse whe...

For 12 years, I have broken out consistently and only on the sides of my chin. Everywhere else is clear. I know the lower face is a common area for adult female acne, but has anyone else had it in onl...

I don't really get it though, because although the scar will be less covered, the depth between the surface of your skin and the scar should be less. The fat pushes up around the scar, so as you lose ...

So just so I understand, you neve had acne on your chin? And then bumps formed that came to a head and scarred? Maybe that isn't like mine because I always did have acne on my chin - the only place I ...

It's really too bad there is very little way to know ahead of time what will happen with laser. Tons of people say they are fair, did thorough research, went to the best and still ended up severely da...

He said it was ok, and didn't say anything about nerve damage. I didn't specifically ask because somewhere in my brain I'm afraid it will trigger him to be like, oh wait a minute you're right there ar...

I had my consultation yesterday and Dr. R did recommend subcision the the right side of my chin for the rolling scars. He is the second doctor to do so. Actually, he recommended subcision/suction. He ...

Yeah I'd probably be willing to risk it sadly. The bumpy part is bothering me more and more - it looks wrinkly when I smile. Do you have that? And now we have officially hijacked this thread haha.

Yeah I definitely have a lot of my hopes pinned on this appointment. I'm praying he delivers good news about possible improvements. I also have bumpy, under the skin scarring that bothers me as much a...

Hey there. No it wasnt you...cant remember the member's name now. I was actually wondering after I wrote that whether her increase in T could have been attributed to something else. It's unclear from ...
