I had one treatment with the Pearl Fractional Laser several years ago. While it helped with my skin tone, I can't say that it did much at all for my acne scarring.

I haven't done subscision, but thinking about it, and thinking about Dr R, so PLEASE keep us posted! I do use a derma stamp and take vitamin C supplements every day, but topically after I roll I use c...

1) do an online search for derms or plastic surgeons in your state who perform subcision 2) start calling as many derms in your area and ask for the name of a referral 3) do what I did: take copies o...

I think that a practinioner's skill certainly plays a role in one's improvement. I took sort of a holistic approach and became my own best advocate: 1) I did a lot of online research about acne scar...

Right now, I am satisfied with how my complexion looks. As I've mentioned in the past, my skin is not perfect today even after all of the subcision treatments, laser treatments, TCA CROSS peels, etc....

I did have some 'lumps' from my last subcision treatment. I'm not sure if they were directly from the subcision procedure itself or from suctioning or a combination of both. If I remember correctly,...

You're on the right path, my friend. With your determination, I think that you're going to continue to see great results! Mat

I don't believe that microdermabrasion will do much, if anything, if you have deep rolling scars. Subcision is the best option for people with tethered rolling scars. As far as topical creams are c...

I've found that subcision + suction works great for me. Unfortunately, I need 12-16 days of downtime before I can step out without looking like something happened to my skin. For many of us with jobs,...

I use it in my scalp and 99% of my folicullitus has cleared up. Coconut oil is a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent.

Adam:   Great to hear from you.   I'm doing well. I'm continuing to take my supplements and will do dermarolling tonight.   I saw my mother-in-law for the first time since Christmas...

If you're within five days of your subcision treatment, I would go ahead with suctioning your face and do it for the length of time done in the study. My most dramatic results came from combining sub...

If you have ice pick or scarred pores, subcision won't do anything for them. ith how my face looks today. Overall, I believe that my improvement was in the 70-80% range and I can live with that. ...

Not really any particular reason.   I may revisit using them down the road.

I used copper peptides once, but didn't use them again after that.

I do use this product everyday and typically apply it in the morning and sometimes at night, too.   I'm not sure how the BP might interact with this product.   I'm glad to hear that you ha...

My Dr said he wanted to make sure I was not having any sort of infection from the subcision. I really appreciate my Dr in that he listens to his patients and has a really good bedside manner. I feel...

Thanks. It's been a four year journey that continues to this day. There are some great people on this site who have encouraged me along the way. One of the important things that my dermatologist ta...

I used a hand-held Oreck vacuum sweeper. I cupped my left hand around the end of the nozzle to reduce the amount of suction because it was so powerful. I did several passes on my face twice a day be...

I used the dermastamp for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The one I'm using is 1.5 mm and it's for a deep scar on the bridge of my nose. When I used it I heard some popping and there was a tiny ...

I think that you need a better photo to highlight the scars.

Great post!

Austra: I agree with you completely. Any type of invasive procedure should be done by a trained professional such as a dermatologist or plasti surgeon if it involves the face. The risks of self-injur...

Those pictures are of Tamara (Oursfan) - she has written extensively about her experiences in the thread "Had Subcision Today" (9 pages long) - there are also pictures of her results from a later need...
