@Revisha I believe the price has gone up significantly due to demand, so the price I had last year is no longer valid. I’m on my phone now, so don’t have exact pricing off the top of my head. From ...

@swen congrats on seeing improvements so early with one treatment!

@Wilko44, how is your healing going?

Scarring is relatively minor. For the ice picks and box cars, I think you'd benefit from CROSS, either with TCA or Phenol. I notice some very mild rolling scars, so subcision would help there. Or you ...

Those look mostly like rolling scars, so would benefit from subcision. Some boxcars could benefit from CROSS. Both are going to be less expensive than laser.

Picture is blurry and grainy, so very hard to tell. I see moderately sized boxcar and potentially some rolling scars. Both could benefit with subcision first and filler for the deeper boxcar.

I see rolling scars, boxcars, and icepicks. Subcision should be your first line of treatment IMO to address the rolling scars. You can get fillers as spacers as part of the subcision, or do chinese su...

Subcision is usually the first and best option for rolling scars. CROSS is better for icepicks and boxcars. There are quite a few threads on subcision results on this forum with pics so you can get a ...

@swen Glad the healing is going well for you! And I agree that "scabs" is a bit of a misnomer, because it's more like hard dark skin, rather than like a scab that you'd get from a regular wound. Great...

@Rachel995 a list of recommended doctors are in the thread below:

@Wilko44 thanks for the update, and glad that your skin is healing! Your doctor is certainly taking an unusual approach to TCA CROSS, but glad you’re feeling more hopeful. TCA can cause merging of ...

@swen It’s possible that mine are falling off faster because Dr Rullan used a lighter coat, it feels like the deeper the scar the more firmly attached the scabs are. And also areas of less movement li...

Quick update that a few scabs are starting to loosen and fall off as I wash my face, and I expect that a significant number of scabs will fall off tomorrow. This is similar to the timeline as my last ...

@JenSteli Dr Rullan uses 89% for the percentage. As far as I know, it is safe, but this is dependent on the expertise of the practitioner. I have had it done four times now and have not had any major ...

@hsd87 Phenol is safer in that it does not cause the scar to widen, and there is less risk of pigmentation issues. So far, I have only done Phenol, and only with Dr Rullan, so would be interested to l...

Thanks for sharing and congrats on a successful appointment! I haven’t seen too many folks talk about Erbium with Dr Rullan, so I’m excited to hear updates on your progress!

@joeysk I'm really curious who the other doctors are who do Phenol CROSS. I've only done it with Dr Rullan, and I thought he was the only one that does it! All the other doctors use TCA, which is just...

@swen Good luck on your continued healing! You'll likely have a few more scabs fall off by Monday when you return to work, so hopefully it won't be look too bad. If you try makeup, please let us know ...

@ohwellletstry congrats on your first visit with Dr Rullan! I was just there on Wednesday for CROSS. For aftercare, just try to keep the scabs from falling off too early and avoid sunlight. Avoid h...

Agree that your scarring in mild relative to the severe cases that have been posted on here in the past. They definitely do not make you look ugly! Currently, you have very little hyperpigmentation...

@spop1234 I found it pretty convenient to fly, as I use credit card points to book the flights. I also don't have a license, so I don't drive. I fly Southwest, and it's a very quick flight. My gues...

@swen If I recall, I saw about a 10% improvement after the first treatment, I did subcision and microneedling at the same time. And prior I had done Infini in Florida with Dr Weiner, so it might have ...

Awesome congratulations on your visit to Dr Rullan! Hope your recovery goes well. The Kenalog shot does wonders for swelling, and I did it the last couple of times I did subcision with him. Today, ...

@shei514 Good luck with Dr Rullan today, I just saw him yesterday!
