superburrito

Hello all, it has been over 24 hours now, and as expected, the swelling has come down dramatically. So thankful the Kenalog shot to the butt. I'm also glad that this time around, the tr...

Hi, I live in San Francisco also! I literally just finished my latest session with Dr Rullan this morning, and I highly recommend.

Hello everyone I just finished up another session with Dr Rullan this morning and wanted to give you an update! Procedures done today were the "trio" of Subcision, Phenol CROSS, and Microneedling. ...

I am Southeast Asian with tanned skin and I use LaRoche Posay 50+ Anthelios Shaka Fluid. It uses Mexoryl instead of minerals as the filter, so there is absolutely no ashy white cast. And it absorbs ex...

With Dr Rullan, I do my Cross at the same time as subcision. Since subcision is under the skin and cross is on the surface, I don’t think you’d need to wait 6 weeks. Definitely wait longer before anot...

I see Kucy Pon in the list as a recommended doctor. Looks like this doc does subcision and TCA.

A quick phone call can solve a lot of text/email headaches. Just saying.

With Dr Rullan, I have done at the same time, and haven’t had an issue. Note that Rullan uses Phenol instead of TCA for CROSS.

I use a separate moisturizer and a sunscreen on top. I think I put in my routine with suggested products earlier in the thread.

Great to hear!

I see mostly boxcars and icepick scars, and some mild rolling scars. I think TCA/Phenol cross would benefit you most, and is cost effective. Subcision will help break up any fibrotic strands underneat...

Overall, those look mostly like rolling and some boxcar/icepick scars.

The left set of photos are slightly out of focus, so I’m having a hard time comparing. The lighting is also a little different too. When we’re the left ones taken? And the right? Since you had the ...

@okmichelle @SaraWillFight, same issue with viewing images for me. it's not a browser issue, it's something going in the software running this forum.

@HopeNew, for rosacea, try topical niacinamide. You can get this very cheaply via The Ordinary. I think it's about $6 a bottle.

@okmichelle I would say I have about a 15% improvement so far.

@HopeNew glad I could help! For TCA cross, since it’s only been a few weeks, definitely wait awhile for the next session. It takes months for skin to fully heal and collagen to form. Keep in mind t...

@HopeNew After my subcision, I have one noticeable small mark where the needle entered on one side. It doesn't bother me too much, since I know it will get better over time, and it's very small. It lo...

@edie9598 I have not had any fillers yet with Dr Rullan, but will consider it after a few more rounds of subcision/cross/microneedling

@edie9598 I have had two subcisions so far with Dr Rullan and have not had any hematomas, so you are in good hands. He also does not use a Nokor needle, which has a greater risk of hematomas. As f...

@okmichelle, so far I have had two subcisions with Dr Rullan in San Diego, and I have not had any major complications. With my last one, the bruising lasted for weeks, though after the first week, mos...

Overall the scarring looks pretty mild to me, compared to other pics that I've seen on here. To my eye, it looks like you mostly have icepick/boxcar scars with a rolling/tethered scar in the middle...

No, you’ll need a few more days than that. It did mine in January with Dr Rullan on a Thursday and returned back to work next the Thursday. Depending on how aggressive the treatment and how well you h...

I'm actually in San Diego recovering from microneedling with Dr Rullan. Although I have not yet had fillers with him, he's a great doc, and cares about your goals. From my understanding, fillers fo...

Thank you @Obi wan! Also, I wanted to give everyone a quick update. It has been one month since my last Cross/Subcision/Microneedling session with Dr Rullan. Overall, my skin has healed well, altho...
