As I have said Fraxel Re:pair is a cumulative process. I wish they would have specified the exact mj settings. I would consider the lower settings to be ineffective for all but the most minimal scar...

Hi, a few things. I would absolutely not do TCA cross on your nose. You are going to make things worse, possibly widen and join scars. Someone else also suggested surgery, I have no idea what surgery ...

How then can you explain that incision points are healing without a scar? i mean if the wound from the incision is harsh then also incision point would heal with scar tissue which is not the case(also...

You are wrong. The burden of proof is here on you.. Subcision begins from the healthier skin ..If you try to begin the subcision needling from the center of the scar the results will be minimal. Wit...

Is maybe the attraction of these nearby cells to the wound area the solution and the reason why subcision works.? No, I don't think so, that isn't the concept of subcision. Subcision just cuts thro...

Your acne really cleared up! You should wait 1 yr once going off accutane before you try to do anything too invasive for scarring. You can do light chemical peels and Vbeam to help clear up the red...

Mainly for under my eyes where you can see broken capillaries. I'm guessing it's from sun damage over the years cause I've been in the sun a lot, so I don't think it's rosacea.   Is v beam good?...

God forbid if you had an entire face full of scars like some of us do, what would you do with yourself? You hardly ever get acne as you stated, lucky you. The red mark will disappear. You claim to ha...

Forehead lines are a normal part of life that every human being has or will get in their life. That is why botox is so popular. Your best choices for at home treatments are Retin-A/Tazarac or another...

well here is a link to a thread i posted for possible treatments for my scars. I have some deep looking scars and when I meet the surgeon I will be asking about subcision treatments as well. Also ho...

Justmeuk, have you had your second subcision already? I have less than two weeks before mine-Monday, March 11th. I'll have 9 days off to somewhat recover before returning back to work. I'm becoming ve...

Your scars are not terrible. People should really choose their words wisely on here. There are people with very severe scars on this forum, then someone with minimal scarring labels their scars "terri...

Well I'm just looking to see if some of the scars I have can be reduced to a point where they aren't that visible when talking to a person in front of a cash register. Did your scars improve or did yo...

I have a appointment with a plastic surgeon to see if there is anything that can be done to help removing my acne scars. This visit will be a second opinion since I went to a dermatologist a couple da...

Any updates? I'm so eager to know if this will be used for acne scarring here in the states.

Find a new dr.u If your skin tone is darker, you can still be treated with erbium based lasers. Go to someone else who is more compassionate and will give you options.

I agree with sanjoseskin. I don't think there is "best doctor" in LA or Orange County for acne scar treatment. There is nothing glamorous about treating acne scars. There's a heck of a lot more money ...

I may be flying to CA to meet with some of these doctors all you west coast people have had success with hahah... if only it were that easy!   Hi. Which doctors in CA area you referring to? I'm...

Only had 1 laser treatment by doc in L.A. area. Hope to be able to return for second treatment in 1.5 mos. Not making any formal recommendations yet. If you live in SoCal, my goodness, I feel like y...

Also seeking a great Dr in Socal Los Angeles area. Any new recommendations from anyone?

Hey everyone i just started the laviv process for acne scars. Feel free to ask questions If you don't mind, can you please update us on your progress.

You look like you have perfect skin. Maybe the photo doesn't represent your problem well. Mind posting clearer pics, maybe taken from the side of your cheeks.

After 2 years of having what many call orange-peal-waxy skin after one of my procedures, the only thing that helped with finally getting a prescription of a topical steroid. I also used retin-A which ...

Hey SanJoseSkin, Just wanted to let you know that I'm moving forward in 2-3 weeks with the Total FX plastic surgeon I last private messaged you about. I will post his name to the forum once I have an ...

Has anyone found a good dr in the los angeles area yet?
