Hi,   Congrats on your results! I have a quick question - are you east asian? I've thought about doing subcision but I'm worried about the downsides of hyperpigmentation. How did you end up avoi...

Now that I'm about settled in, I'm really looking! Any suggestions?

Bump!

Bump for more recommendations/reviews from NYC users here!

Ron Shelton and Yang are the only real plastic surgeons in that group. Eric Schweiger uses the Mixto laser, but made up a name for it called FAST and is marketing it as something unique and innovativ...

Not really impressed with any of them. Only Dr. Yang focuses on acne scar treatments. The other ones are not great and they will most likely push lasers on you again. As for anyone to totally avoid...

Hi, I'll be moving to NYC next month and I'm looking for a new dermatologist or plastic surgeon for improving my acne scars. In the past I've done 8 treatments similar to the Fraxel:Restore. I haven'...

I'm not using any BP. My regimen over the past 4 months has been Differin + Moisturizer (I've also gotten some Vbeam and IPL done to reduce the pigmentation - while better the PIH still exists). It ...

Hi, I'm asian and I've had very persistent PIH on my cheeks. A lot of these marks have been there for almost, if not over, a year. Are these permanent? My routine currently consists of using Differin...

I'm actually looking into their laser resurfacing machine for scarring as well as pigmentation. The right side of my face is full of scars and is very uneven. I heard it's less powerful but it is also...

Just curious. Has anyone ever been here, and if so what are your thoughts about the doctor's expertise? Looking to get laser treatment here.

What treatments do you suggest then andres123?

I went through a bad period where my face was full of cysts. Now the cysts are gone but I am left with a face ABSOLUTELY FULL of shallow scars (combined makes my face look hideous) and red/brown marks...

I'm curious. For people who are struggling with hyperpigmentation after acne and have tried either of the methods mentioned (IPL or VBeam), has it worked for you? I'm trying to decide between the two.

Hey jarrit, Changing the diet hasn't really changed much, to be honest. The area on my face is still very red and there are still bumps from the acne lesions. I will still continue to do it for the ...

Update: So this morning while washing my face (following the regimen) one of my cysts started to ooze out pus. I wiped it off and continued applying BP and moisturizer. Now (several hours later) the...

Thanks jarrit! Before my most recent outbreak I've just had a TON of hyperpigmentation [sorta masked by my cystic acne at the moment ] with some depressed areas (was going to discuss doing TCA peels ...

Yes I am asian. Over the past week I have almost removed my dairy intake (sometimes sprinkling cheese on food) and sugar (no more candy). I pretty much have a consistent diet of 1 serving of pasta/r...

I have had bad acne on my face for over the past year. Its been getting better but recently I had a bad outbreak. I went on the regimen for the past 2 weeks, but the right side of my face is still ver...
