Do you have a picture? Have these patches faded at all?

Your skin really does look amazing. I see no need to do anything other than maybe some good topical products. CeraVe moisturizing lotion is fantastic and helps with the overall texture of my skin. Taz...

hi no_hope give it a try, it needs practice but very time efficient in my case compared to applying make up (which still makes it looks worse). I see from your profile pic, you have the ice pick n r...

Your scarring is perfect for subcision. Co2 laser will help more with overall texture and tightening your skin, but I can't see it doing too much for your scars other than softening them a little. If ...

I really haven't heard many horror stories with subcision. I think I've only seen one and the complaint was that some of the scars resurfaced years later (which usually happens since you lose collagen...

Missamua, you are speaking the TRUTH. I'm all for natural living, but I have noticed the exact same thing with these health / holistic super militant, vegan types who ALWAYS exaggerate their suppos...

I'm using Accutane right now, on my 3rd month, and haven't got any pimples in over a month now. That's the first time I could say that in the last three years. My question is why more people don't use...

It's 100% genetic in that you are genetically predisposed to getting acne because of skin inflammation etc. I think acne is poorly understood even by the medical community. I believe that acne isn't j...

Most doctors advise waiting a year after stopping Accutane to pursue scar treatments. This is because Accutane significantly impairs wound healing even for a while after stopping the drug. I personall...

Longtermsufferer, genetics are EXTREMELY complex and you're right that there is no single gene that directly causes cystic acne, but that's not to say there isn't a strong genetic component/predisposi...

Cystic acne is absolutely genetic. Studies have consistently shown it runs in families, and pitted acne scars themselves are primarily caused by prolonged inflammation to the skin which results in los...

Duo clear eyelash glue does a decent job too if you apply 2-3 very thin layers and then a little bit of powder over it, but there's an art to applying it like Dermaflage. I actually practiced using ey...

I really hope this works out for. Most people get noticeable results from subcision. Can I ask what type of pitted scars you had?

Bruising is normal with suctioning. I wouldn't suction unless you've had subcision done just recently (3 days to a week ago).

Your scars do look less angular, and considering you did not add suctioning and this was your first subcision, I would say these are good results. Most people don't see much improvement until the seco...

I forgot to mention this before, but because you have such few scars, I think you' benefit from the product Dermaflage. It's a topical filler, and it's ideal for people who only have one or two scars ...

Honestly, I think your issue has more to do with texture/enlarged pores. I don't really see actual scarring other than the ones on your cheek (which are not really noticeable). You could smooth out th...

You'll have to either post a picture here or PM someone on here to get good advice, because there are different types of scarring (rolling, boxcar, ice pick, tethered, non-tethered) that respond to di...

Rob, what do you mean it deformed your skin? That sounds scary. I haven't heard of any permanent adverse effects from suctioning.

I really think you should try the suction method for at least some of your more prominent/wider scars. People get the best results that way.

Yes, I'm in the picture. The picture is airbrushed, I wish my skin looked like that.:/ If you message me I'd be more than happy to send you pictures as well, I only have one picture up on my profile a...

Recell is a great option if you have uneven skin tone and hypo pigmentation. Fixing hypo pigmentation itself will make any scars infinitely less noticeable. Other than that, recell helps prevent compl...

I also use dermaflage and it works well since it's silicone based, as are foundation primers. The silicone is what fills and and blurs the scars. TCA cross should really only be used on actual ice p...

These are scarred pores. If they flatten/improve with manual stretching of the area, they can benefit from lasers/needling. But the risks out weigh the benefits in my opinion. Some people have issues...

C02 doesn't shave the area around the scar. C02 and other lasers all stimulate collagen, which makes your skin tighter, hence why it's primarily used for anti aging/wrinkles. The tightening effects ma...
