Wow, huge congrats that's amazing! Thanks so much for the update. You must be incredibly happy with the improvement after thinking all hope was lost for so long. Are the growth factors a prescription ...

There's a section in this article explaining how obesity can affect wound healing. Maybe it affects the healing of large wounds on the body more than acne scars. It goes into all the factors: And thi...

Even more so I would think the status of our current health, if our body is receiving the nutrients it needs from diet, stress, smoking, infections, age, preexisting diseases/conditions that affect he...

Look into subcision and 50% TCA Cross.

I think 50% TCA cross would work well (only meant for scars and not as a peel). Maybe try a test on one scar first. Be careful with higher % for cross since your icepicks and large pores don't look th...

Keep it covered with vaseline/aquaphor. Moist healing is less likely to scar. Keep the moist scabs on as long as possible. It can take as long as 10-14 days for the wound to close, heal and scabs to c...

I haven't followed the full story here but I'm glad all of your negative reviews at least got you a full refund. One could see it as obsessed but if that's what it took for you to receive a refund and...

Thanks for the update.  Glad to hear it's slightly better even if only improving slowly. Have you attempted any retinoids (retin-a, tazorac, etc.), dermastamping or light 10-15% TCA peels?...

50% TCA cross (careful with higher than 50% for your skin type and only for cross never a peel) or even 25-35% TCA peel spot treatment would fix those 2 icepicks up no problem. Your scars are incredib...

If the scar is minor (depending on pic) you could get a prescription for retinoids (retin-a, tazorac, etc.) and apply those to speed up healing and help promote collagen. Also good for future pimples ...

A close up pic of your scar would help us give better suggestions. Consider also posting on RealSelf for doctor's opinions. It really depends on the scar but some possibilities to look into are: subci...

No wonder you say every new pimple you get is leaving a tiny scar. For optimal skin healing smoking is a big no no. I'm really surprised you're taking the risk of possibly sabotaging your treatments. ...

Look forward to following. You could try owndoc's Infadolan ointment the first couple days after stamping to keep wound moist while healing before moving on to regular moisturizers and topicals (retin...

Enerjet sounds like a good and safe option for you then. Better to be cautious and conservative at first. Hope it goes well! The derm I was looking into for punch grafting is Dr. Yates Y. Chao. I'm no...

Hi @Versace111, who is your derm? I was looking into travelling to see a derm in Taiwan who has a lot of experience with acne scarring and punch graftin...

Peel is 10-35%(max) TCA for spot treatments, large areas or full face. CROSS is 50(best to start here)-100% TCA only for scar tissue. Must not touch normal skin. Applied carefully with a toothpick.

TCA 50% is still pretty effective for CROSS and less risks just takes more treatments potentially. It's still strong stuff so only want to get it in the scars not on the healthy skin. Usually CROSS is...

Is there any possible way this new doctor could perform it for cheaper just so you could try it for the hell of it? Does he have patients who have had it that you could speak to? The other place was m...

If I were you I would get whatever job I could manage temporarily where I wouldn't have to worry about my looks (working from home, on the phone/call centre, outdoors where no one cares what you look ...

(Sorry to interrupt your thread AB.) @sodiumhydroxide, thanks for your help. I really appreciate it! Do you think superficial dermabrasion/resurfacing and suction blister grafting over your mini punch...

Great info @sodiumhydroxide. I'm thinking about this procedure for a couple scars. If you don't mind I have a few questions for you. Did you have any resurfacing after the punch grafts? Did the thin, ...

The first 1-2 weeks are the most crucial so it depends if you're comfortable going to school with wounds and vaseline on your face. Not sure of the answer to your second question. I guess either or bo...

Subcision and suction. You have to be really careful with fillers in the area between eyebrows. Worst case scenario it can cause blindness.

Personally, I think it's best to keep the TCA Cross scabs moist and protected with vaseline/aquaphor while they're healing. Agree, skip the suctioning for now on rolling scars since the TCA Cross woun...
