I guess in my case, I have days when I feel like the treatments I've done are worth it, and other days when I feel like 'f**k, why does my skin look so bad'. I have, however, come to realise doing the...

I had to look really closely to find maybe some superficial boxscar scars. If they really bother you, and as others said, they aren't a major issue, you can deal with those with subcision, and you'll ...

I guess it is okay if your scars are only visible under direct angled light. I still very much prefer RF microneedling. The results are more drastic.

The returns will definitely be diminished the more you do until a point there might not be anymore improvement. Your first 3 or 4 sessions may be most dramatic.

Thank you for sharing the pics. You have boxscar scars, and they have a definite edge. From my experience, and from accounts of others, I notice hard edged scars tend to respond well to treatment. ...

One is not more effective than the other. Subcision works better to soften ridge-like scars while microneedling works better for overall texture, ie, if you have smooth undulating scars. As for pri...

Actually your derm is right. Your scars are fresh, and shallow. Lasers, like CO2 or fraxel can give pretty good result for the redness, and stimulate collagen for healing. You CAN go for RF microneedl...

You have shallow boxscar scars. You can simply go with subcision.

RF microneedling (maybe 3 sessions) for the shallow boxscar scars, and maybe a session of CO2 laser to even skin tone.

Subcision is probably all you need. You will need at least 5 sessions for the deeper scars, and fewer for the shallower ones. You can also go for RF microneedling after multiple sessions of subcision....

TCA cross, yes, good for ice pick scars. Should you do it at home? No. This must be best left to a trained professional.

You mentioned injections - how many corticosteroid injections have you gotten?

Anything with an indentation requires subcision. However, fractional CO2 can work if it's shallow, and it can be quite good at softening the scar, so the edge isn't so obvious.

Yes I have experience with subcision. "Thicken the dermis" may be the phenomenon some describe as the "donut effect"? Where the scar is overcorrected because of the filler? Am I right? If so, it reall...

Lasers help hyperpigmentation and freckles, yes, and for shallow acne scars. If they are deep, subcison and RF microneedling work better.

Thank you for sharing the photos. You could start with subcision. Aim for as many as you sessions as you can until you're satisfied with the result.

No, no at all. The skin is such a huge organ, subcision deals with only a small part of it. It won't cause drastic changes, except for shallower scars, that is.

Nice! Thank you for sharing your pics! Any improvement is always worth celebrating. My take for you is to focus all your treatment to only two - subcision (filler or not, it's up to you) and Infini...
