Quirky Fox

Hiya ScarFace! Your photos are a little blurry, but I think I can make out some very mild scarring. Scarring is when the skin is either indented (atrophic) or raised (keloid). I think you have a few ...

Hello Cfralic! I used to be a big poster here while I was going through my most intensive treatments. I agree with Fazix in that we can't really see your scars in that photo. If you're comfortable in...

Hello! Update you say? Well, I'm happy to report that my skin is getting better and better each month. It's slow yes, but I'm seeing results. The biggest thing is that I'm no longer obsessing over my ...

Nope.avi is correct, scars are supposed to form when inflammation/wound healing is present. It's duck tape for our skin! So, being natural our bodies are not going to correct it after it has formed b...

I haven't read all of the replies here, sorry! Doing a run-by-reply to let people know I'm still around. Glad that this thread is still going too! I am 1 year and 5 months out from my first Dermastam...

How are you doing Quirky Fox? I'm excited to hear how you are feeling...... I've been absent! Why? Because I am finally living life the way I want to! I've had two full eDermastamp treatments and I...

No. Length is everything. 0.5mm will stimulate collagen but it will not break up scar tissue no matter how often you roll. 1.5 - 2.0mm is the required lengths for atrophic scar correction. I've had b...

Thank you for the information. Sounds very interesting and I hope that you see awesome results! Keep us posted, we'd love to hear more about it!

Okie dokie then. You don't have acne scarring. You have PIH or otherwise known as "acne marks". Basically red/brown/purple marks left behind by inflammation (which acne is awesome for). Home remedies...

Your photos are a tad blurry but I see mostly PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) which is not scarring. There are some smaller darker marks I can see which might be boxcar scars. Are your mark...

Yes but why do you want to do this? It provides no long term benefits and may cause further scarring or infection.

PIH usually resolves itself in time even if you do nothing... but I know from personal experience that it can take years. This is normal and the fairer the skin the longer it takes for the marks to fa...

I completely agree with NUman's advice. Cheek implants are more for those that have severe facial degeneration/fat loss (like in some HIV positive people) so it works well for them but I wouldn't unde...

I'm curious too. Can you tell us what the name of the laser is so we can do a bit of research? Subcision is usually done with needles so I'm having a hard time imagining how a laser could accomplish t...

Err, this is not a good idea. Swelling is a result of trauma, as NUman has said, so ongoing/repetitive micro-swelling is not healthy for your skin.

Yup they're permanent. Scar tissue is broken down, collagen takes its place. But what you have to understand is that as we age collagen production slows and therefore our skin looses elasticity and we...

I don't recommend home treatments. No creams will help scarring and lemon juice is also a bad idea due to the sugar/acid. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you're serious about seeing real imp...

Hello lovely! Yay for Dermaflage! I have that too. We all make mistakes in the beginning, so don't beat yourself up over it. For me my mistake was Fraxel. I rushed into it, didn't understand how it ...

What I see? In a nutshell... marketing hype and little to no evidence that Nerium AD does anything for scarring. The huge list of ingredients is staggering and most of those ingredients are not "activ...

Is it flat, or indented? If it's the same level as your skin then you don't have scarring, but you do have PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). I have a large burn mark on my arm after stupidly...

Hiya Johnd4! Your scarring appears to be moderately deep rolling scars. Because they're on the bonier parts of your face (near your eyes/temples) they should respond pretty well to treatment. The cat...

  Going in tomorrow for treatment. I'm optimistic about Airgent, but am realistic about the results. Either way, I feel it's better to try then not since you'll never know if it'll be effect...

Going in tomorrow for treatment. I'm optimistic about Airgent, but am realistic about the results. Either way, I feel it's better to try then not since you'll never know if it'll be effective for you...

Yes I think TCA is a good option for ice-pick scarring. I don't have ice-pick scarring though so won't be looking at TCA myself.

  What is it about the fillers that worries you? The main thing is a temporary effect. I wouldn't have the finances or the mental energy to keep having to have the procedure done all my ...
