You are right, it is absolutely way more acceptable for men to have scars, nothing to be done about that though. I seriously doubt a significant amount of men near your age care enough about your scar...

Based on what I can see on the website, the treatment looks like it is simply just the combination of Co2 laser and a temporary hyaluronic acid filler. I'm not aware of any type of synergy or extra be...

Glad you are happy with the results, your skin looks great. The consistency in your pictures has been incredibly helpful, thanks for sharing your progress.

What can any of us say in response to some of these comments? I am on this particular forum because I want treatment info directly from people who have received it or researched. There have been far t...

Not exactly what you are looking for, but excision tries to accomplish something very similar. The scarred area is surgically removed and the skin sutured back together with the intention of leaving a...

Yeah they look pretty deep, just wanted to be sure it wasn't the shadows and discoloration making it look worse. Research punch excision and punch float, I think you could make some huge improvements ...

6 hours ago, scarredandsad34 said: I was just trying to show how bad the fat loss is. My forehead doesn't move right anymore. It's part of the overall disfigurement and nothing can fix it. My sca...

You need to wait a bit longer before getting any treatments, 6 - 12 months after finishing accutane is recommended. Focus on the scars first, the redness is very likely to continue improving over time...

Lasers are not the answer for a lot of people and it is unfortunate that they are so often the first or the only treatment offered, but there is plenty of evidence that they can be effective at treati...

I don't know anything about Acanthosis Nigricans beyond spending a few minutes googling it, but if some of the doctors are advising weight loss to address this you should give it a shot. If you have a...

Sounds like a huge waste of money, I would look into alternatives like the derminator. Or just keep it simple and get a dermastamp, then you save all that money and avoid the chances of skin tearing y...

I trust research articles and the pictures in them more than 99% of the info out there on dermatologist websites and personal treatment accounts on this site. Some may be slightly biased, but at least...

Head over to the scar treatments subforum for hypertrophic scars, you will find some discussions about similar scarring.

Is infini rf a treatment that depends heavily on the skill of the Dr? Perhaps it would make more sense to get those treatments done in Singapore and then fly out to Australia for the subcision. I woul...

I think its the same person, but it looks like every other dermatologist gallery with great use of lighting and makeup.

Foreveralone is right, seeing a dermatologist is your best bet. As far as cheap things you can do at home to help, sunscreen and possibly a cream or lotion with vitamins, specifically A, C, and E. The...

It is not likely to improve your scars, but as long as it is not causing any irritation or active acne it should be fine to use as directed.

Yeah, microneedling covers a lot of different treatments, just different ways of performing it. How about having the derm do TCA cross to one scar, your worst ice pick, and seeing how it reacts. I thi...

It looks like you have shallow ice pick plus some non-acne related scarring. From what I've read TCA cross is the most effective treatment for ice pick scarring. Single needling or maybe dermastamping...

Is the scarring worse than the picture makes them appear?

The procedure you are having is called "punch float" or "punch elevation" here. If you use the search function you can find some discussions on it. Both the punch and dermabrasion are both quite serio...

Subcision won't do anything for this As far as treatments for the white area, I am not to familiar with this type of scarring.

This is something I have been trying to find more info on, these are the only two relevant documents I have found so far. In the first, tretinoin is applied immediately before needling, the...

What % retin a are you using and how often? Start slowly like every third day with a low dose if you can. Are you wearing sunscreen everyday? You could also look into chemical peels like glycolic or l...

Don't think there is an easy answer for that, it depends on too many variables. It would be much easier to post a picture if you are trying to determine what you can expect from your scarring.
