I actually have a small amount of gripe for people like you because it sounds like you have already found a life partner who finds you attractive as you are, scars or no, which would've probably been ...

Putting this topic back into perspective. (Also, can someone get rid of those pictures, I think it is scaring off the viewers ffs) The only thing I see on your face are enlarged pores and moderate sc...

Stick with your tretinion, kid. It has been backed up with years and years of research and clinical tests, and it has been doing me real good ever since I started using it. Use mild non-comedogenic ma...

Thanks mate, it is nice to be able to appreciate the features of one's face without cringing So far this laser have been working really for me and the derm didn't think I need another treatment seein...

Thanks for the heads up Dudley and keeping my expectations in check But no, I have been seeing very good improvement in my skin. The crater on my cheek have filled up so much it now looks practicall...

Alright peeps, next Tuesday marks a month after my treatment and I got to say-- I'm actually happy with the results so far! I haven't actually been seeing much improvement in the smaller boxcars on m...

As much as I would say a few sessions of fraxel re:store would help, I really hardly notice them and I'm sure most of the people here would both agree and also would gladly exchange for your scarring....

For laser resurfacing I started mine towards the end of summer; but early spring would do too, especially since I am up in the Northern states. I am planning to go in for another session, my last mayb...

I got to say, your perseverance is a wonderful thing and I do see the scars softening quite an amount mate! I can see rounded and smoother lighting gradients on them. How have you been doing lately? A...

For me, boxcar scars are those with jagged edges (suddenly dipping) while rolling have smooth edges that dips slowly. Yours look very much like rolling scars to me and shallow ones at that. I'm curre...

Dermal fillers would be a quick fix if you're concerned about getting results, but have to be maintained routinely. Seeing that they are shallow scars, possibly rolling, I would probably go the fracti...

You could try using tretinion cream for that, but it won't be a quick fix either. Ask your dermatologist about tretinion or retin-A before resorting to lasers as the down time and possible aggravation...

Let's see... it has been 3 weeks past treatment and I have been seeing quite comforting improvements! Scars have been filling up, the textural scarring on my right cheek have turned flesh color and ha...

One thing that people often neglect in fractional laser resurfacing is the thermal zones created under deep skin. That is one effect which differentiates fractional ablative lasers from needling; it e...

The textural difference would probably only be the orange peel texture; which I did not experience after my laser treatment. In any case, my skin actually looks healthier after laser than before. But ...

Hello everyone, It is two weeks post treatment (yesterday), but I am glad to say that I'm actually seeing improvements in my skin! The large scar in my left cheek has surfaced enough to be less of a ...

@Dudley The picture above has swelling in it, my scarring is slightly more aggravated than above, but not significantly yeah. I can definitely see improvement at this point; my skin is actually more l...

I was thinking the same thing actually, considering my skin recovered in 5 days; I was ready for a week's down time and ghastly bleeding, but I only got pinpoint bleeding that barely lasted a day. An...

It's about a week post treatment and today I woke up to a sudden annoyance; my skin looks just the same as it did before the treatment.. I'm not sure how to react to this, but I'm admittedly rather do...

Minor update, skin has mostly finished healing post 4-5 days past treatment. The last of the dead layer resides along my jawline. Anyhow, there is currently a textural improvement as my skin doesn't s...

I will probably update this till day 7 (1 week) and then after that, a month. I understand photos would make this more credible, but as hard as I try, it's hard to capture my scarring on camera. Apolo...

Appreciate it mate, I will keep this posted as frequently as required.

As promised, I went in for CO2 ablative fractional resurfacing about two days ago (20th August, 2013) for scarring on my face. Now, I might not post any pictures because it will not show much, as my s...

Hello mate! Any new updates regarding your current state? Would really be appreciated. Thanks! And stay frosty!

Following from the above, I think it is best for now that you should allow your skin to regain its balance; cut the topicals. One thing I learned is that most of them never ever work, or they only wor...
