Subcision Soon/ Documenting Procedure

What really sucks is how different my scars look at different angles. One angle I'd be perfectly happy with albeit there are still some noticeable scars. The other angle just makes me absolutely sick ...

Treatment question

Are you sure it is actual pigmentation and not bruising under the skin that is causing a discoloration of the skin? You could try hydroquinone (a skin bleaching cream) but I am not positive of its sa...

I agree with Quad, you will have to be more aggressive to achieve the results you want. However, I feel starting out slower like this will give you a feel for the peels and give you more practice befo...

Where to start

It really depends where you go. Filler is notoriously expensive and subcision should be cheap (200 to more than 500.) Please consider microneedling at home with a dermastamp, treatments at a clinic wo...

Hey  I did the math and to dilute the TCA 30% to 25% it's a ratio of 1 : .2      TCA:water. Basically, you could do 10 drops of TCA mixed with 2 drops o...

Most guides say to keep the area clean with some kind of antibacterial or burn cream for the first few days, then move onto an emollient like aquaphor or vaseline for a few more days, then a good mois...

Woahhhh normal microneedling you should do at-home. I would never pay for it! Also I'm really not sure how I feel about those radio frequency devices they're selling online. I would be really cautious...

Treatment advice (pics included)

@thepwhisp Hey  so my doctor is kind of more on the "realistic" side and he said 50%+, but I assume it will probably be more like 70-80% with peels and microneedling after doing the 3 sets...

I think either 25% or 30% are fine, as you will be doing it with a doctor. If you were doing it alone, I would say 25%  I think it is good that you are trying out the TCA peels with a doct...

especially if you find the realself post, it is SUPER noticeable. Everything seems to have filled in a lot. Infini alone cannot do everything. You are at the perfect place to start surface treatments!...

Hey there! Although the lighting is different, there is a noticeable difference, especially in the long trailing scars. It is known that Infini is not very good for treating icepicks, so TCA cross wou...

Do Derma Rollers work?

dermastamps at 1.5mm length and above will help scarring, but it takes a longggg time if you're only doing microneedling.
