Thanks for the comment and ya i dont go a day without having moisturizer and sun screen on. Btw do you think i have a case on suing her given that she gave the laser when it wasnt supposed to be done ...

Snip Thanks for the info! I want to stay the heck away from Accutane, it scares the crap out of me. Seeing as I had little to no acne for the past 5 years, I think I made this worse by using expired...

Don't screw around with minocycline. It's a short term solution to a long term problem. I was an 8-month veteran of the stuff. Couldn't be happier when I was on it and it was working, but it started t...

The reason why I am willing to try C02 is that my pitted scarring is a lot worse than it looks on the pictures so I feel it might be worthwhile to try it for resurfacing as I will get it free on the N...

Cannot wait for these pics. Going to keep bumping this if it starts to die.

You want the short, one word answer? No. It does not. If you're looking at pigmentation treatments, look at IPL (intensed pulsed laser), V-beam, and chemical peels (specifically lactic, TCA, vitalize...

determinedtowin, you need to take a step back. Do your research. Figure out what is going to work. Treatments that actually work for hyperpigmentation are IPL (intense pulsed laser), V-beam, and chemi...

Hey man, in the same boat here, only I'm about 3 months OFF accutane. Yes it causes redness and flushing. Will it go away just by waiting? Well...that's easier said than done. I really do not know for...

Do you have progress pics? How long have you been implementing this regimen?

more impossible, could you please post more than just your left cheek? I'm also interested to know which specific scars you had targeted. I'm not sure I really saw where you originally had your scarri...

i really recommend retin a , i tried 10% glycolic acid but it didnt help my hyperpigmentation scars or red marks at all unlike retin a i only been using it for almost 2 weeks and the results are amaz...

No yeah I mean if I just saw you straight up in real life it wouldn't even be a problem. I think you look perfectly fine. Yeah the pics I was mentioning are in my thread (you can find it on the first...

Your cheeks seem a little red in your most recent pics. Were those taken after an AHA application? Might just be bad lighting. Not sure. Well, if you look at the date...they're not that recent. It i...

Here's what I've got so far for topicals that claim or that people have claimed help red marks (in the same boat as you so researching the shit out of it): 5-10% AHA Aloe Vera (100% pure liquid/gel) R...

heitea, is there any reason you don't use 10%? I've heard one should be at least using 10% to see good results. somanyquestions, I don't use 10% regularly because it dries my skin out. The 5% formul...

Yeah I saw the pics. I was just wondering how they get that "thing" into your face lol. If it's just injection then awesome I assume no scarring then. Why are you not doing this right now? Can you not...

I second the use of AHA-- it's the only thing that has significantly reduced my red marks. I had a severe breakout in August-September, and my red marks are almost gone now. I think I have about 5-6 l...

Subcision + suction would probably help decent for you. Honestly though, the risk/reward isn't worth the hassle for you to do scar treatments. I personally wouldn't do anything, your skin seems fine. ...

It seems like the actual red marks you have aren't terribly large. But your face on the whole is a bit red. Is that due to the retin A, or is that something that you were trying to treat with the reti...

Please don't forget about the pics. Very eager to see your progress from this treatment as it looks like exactly the type of thing I could benefit from. Good luck on your next treatment and I hope it ...

For IPL, V-Beam, Deep peels wait at least 6 months, just keep it light for 6 months, buy some AHA moisturizers. You mean AHA toner? Or do you literally mean a moisturizer that contains, say, 10% lac...

yourboy1, so what is your plan going forward now? Do you plan to do a stronger peel? Please post back with pics of the results if you decide to. Weekly pics would be awesome.

REALLY do your research before starting retin A. Know what to expect from it (there is possibly some purging that might occur), know what to supplement with it, and know the condition it puts your ski...

So what is the actual procedure? Does it require cutting into the skin? How is this superior to excision?
