Posted by: @persimmon52 Hey @Tronitus09, sorry to butt in, but I have scars that look pretty similar to the way yours did before you saw Dr. Rullan and am in the process of researching doctors/proced...

I wouldn't go to Brazil if it costs $2000. Also many people in Brazil aren't really doctors and are unlicensed. You can buy phenol OTC there and people peel themselves with it or estheticians do it. I...

The blood test and ekg seems to be a formality. There is a place in San Diego that does EKG for $25. For blood test I sent in an old blood test from a year ago and it was accepted. The blood test is f...

Posted by: @startingover2 Hi @Sam456, How is your healing coming along? I was also wondering if you could share any pre-treatment instructions you received before getting the phenol peel with me. Al...

@Froyosh I've been thinking about this. If you do 2nd phenol, you don't have to get the full face peel. The first time they do full face in case there are pigmentation problems, your face is the same ...

There's an old doctor in Santa Barbara, CA that does chemabrasion, chemical peel + dermabrasion. Evolution Medical Spa [Edited link out] Video: It feels like these types of procedures are best for ac...

Ah that sounds weird. It's safer to wait a week or two for the swelling to go down, and then get fillers. You don't have to get fillers with Dr. Rullan, any place can do it. If you're flying from out ...

Maybe it wasn't injected deep enough in the skin that you got the filler bumps. Did you get the fillers right after subcision or did you wait a while for the swelling to go down?

You have some rolling scars on the left side which subcision + suction/filler will help with. Otherwise skin texture seems fine. I don't know your age but people in their 30s+ have similar skin. I sug...

Price doesn't seem too bad considering the area. Acne scars are really hard to treat because it's a lot of scars and it's hard to know how you'll heal from it. Make sure your doctor has experience and...

This is common I think. You're supposed to massage them for the week after.

There is no abrasion during trio/quadro. He's using gauze to wipe away dead skin cells from the laser, it's called debriding and is supposed to improve wound healing. The laser is a fractional laser ...

You can use some brightening cream to reduce the dark spots and brighten the overall complexion. Something like Vitamin C or hydroquinone. In the mean time, also use a tinted sunscreen. This will help...

I think you just had fractional laser. You might've had grid marks and the area turned darker and the skin fell off after 5 days. I used Obagi cream tretinoin 0.1%. I stopped using it 1 week before...

My procedure was a combo treatment done at the same time. I had a phenol cross (like TCA cross), subcision, then fractional Erbium laser. Your progress seems the same as mine. The skin turns darker...

I had a phenol cross, laser, subcision and fillers done at Dr Rullan. The cross and laser made my face look really bad. The areas where the cross was done turned very light pink. Then they turned dark...

Subcision by itself is useless imo. I had subcision with Rullan w/o filler and while it was swollen it looked better, but went back to normal afterwards. I just did a subcision with filler last month ...

Left side mostly rolling scars, right side some boxcars. The standard advice for a lot of pitted scarring is subcision with fillers/suction. Subcision will lift the scar from underneath, fillers/sucti...

I'd describe them as boxcar and rolling. Scars are pitted. Subcision to lift the pits, filler to fill in the pits. Multiple rounds. If you don't have money for fillers use suction method on pits. B...

There is great progress in lifting your scars from the subcision imo. But your face will never be scar free. We may need some superficial procedure like ablative laser surfacing, dermabrasion or ph...

@beautifulambition I think there are a couple of spots that may tether and Sculptra might be a good idea. From other posts, you're recommending over dilute Sculptra as a foundation layer beneath the s...

Hmm. Most of the swelling from the procedure was from the painkiller. With the shot it went away after 12 hours. The subcision and microneedling made my skin tender for about 3 days but afterwards the...

Hey all. From what I've read you need filler after subcision to prevent scars from retethering. But if what you need to get 2-3 subcisions? Should you do filler after the first one? Or every time? If ...

Any updates?
