Amazing that you pooped the cysts away! 🙂 You may want to try subcision for the dents. I wonder if the scars are tethered. If they are, they won't respond as well to the other treatments. Good l...

Try adding a topical Niacinamide to your routine for the PIE / redness. The Ordinary has a very affordable preparation. You can also use a tinted moisturizer to help cancel out some of the redness ...

@joeysk glad to hear you are recovering! In my case I think my bad cold triggered the inflammation around the juvederm injection areas. Update: I took a course of Prednisone for about a week whi...

Adapalene 0.3% is also apparently showing promise as a topical to soften acne scars. I have started using it twice daily. I had been using high-strength Tretinoin for some time, so have had min...

I believe the 2-day phenol peel is $6k, best to call and ask for the latest pricing.

@Pianina Sorry to hear about your issues with healing from pimples! I'm assuming you've been to see a dermatologist? For cases where you've tried your best and not getting results, that would be the n...

@LuckyAce which doctor, so that we know who to avoid for TCA cross?

You have mostly rolling scars, with some icepicks. Subcision will help you the most for the rolling scars, followed by CROSS for the icepicks and boxcars. Microneedling, RF and non-RF, will help with ...

@thepwhisp I've flown on the same day of getting Phenol CROSS with Dr Rullan, with no issues. I would not recommend flying after subcision, as you'll be extremely swollen. If you do his Phenol Peel...

@meilinboss thanks for sharing your experience! When I first got the Juvederm fillers in July, I did notice some lumpiness, which I massaged and they went down over time. Perhaps, the initial techniqu...

Hello all, just a quick update that about a week ago I started noticing firm lumps around where my Juvederm fillers were injected back in July 2019. A few days ago, massaging the lumps seemed to help ...

@Lightscar How is your recovery going from cross?

The atrophic scars look like extremely shallow boxcars and some very subtle rolling scars. You mainly have PIE (post inflammatory erythema), which should resolve over time. You can use topicals like N...

@jack817 this is indeed a known side effect of TCA cross: widening and deepening of the scar temporarily. It should heal and raise up over time. If you can, I recommend Phenol CROSS over TCA. I see...

CROSS will be the most cost effective as you mostly have icepicks.

I feel you on this. Definitely hard to work through anxiety related to scars. One thing I've started to do recently is to subtly look at other people's faces to see if I can see any scars or imperf...

Welcome to the fight! Definitely don’t start with lasers. CROSS and subcision will be your best bet with your scarring. You might start with CROSS first before doing subcision, to see how you respond ...
