Hello Inna, Thank you so much for sharing your experience - it really helps to hear success stories! And it's great your doctor spoke with the author of the article! 100% success rate sounds pretty d...

Wow that's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! And thank you for posting and giving us all hope.   I'm trying to decide right now whether to have another saline injection. I would say my improveme...

Quick update on progress 2 weeks after my first saline injection: I would say the dent has improved by about a third. It hasn't been a miracle exactly but this is about the same amount of improvement...

I'm due in November and am equal parts excited and terrified about the giant life change! Always nice to hear that kids do make things better   Maybe I'll start a thread on the topic - see if o...

I'm interested to hear more about what it's like to have kids while also dealing with acne. I'm 31 and pregnant with my first and get infrequent but severe cysts that really get to me emotionally. I'm...

Just thought I'd post some information regarding saline injections used to treat cortisone atrophy since I have access to some journal subscriptions that others might not. There is the main article by...

I just wanted to add a note to anyone young reading this thread and feeling discouraged - remember you are talking to a *very* biased sample. Everyone on this forum is here because they have acne. The...

Ok it's now been about 9 days since the saline injection. The plumping effect of the saline has been gradually wearing off - initially perfectly gone for a few days, then gradually sinking back down t...

I could have written most of this. I vary between obsessive mirror checking and avoiding mirrors all together. I get on the verge of panic attacks. And the reality is that my skin isn't that bad. I am...

I have recently discovered Makeup Forever's full concealer. It is very highly pigmented, water proof, and lasts all day. I found the best way to apply it is with a fingertip or for areas that need m...

Definitely try jojoba oil - it has made such a difference in my skin. I really regret waiting so long to try it.   I have combination skin and struggled with dry patches from BP forever until I...

I'll give an update as well. I convinced my doctor to try the saline injection (bringing the printout of the article was key to convincing him) and he injected 5cc's of saline into the dent on my chin...

Thanks much for all those posting reassuring stories. I am dealing with a dent that has now been there for about 2.5 months and the improvement is glacially slow - I am getting so discouraged.  ...

I would also love to know. This is my first time posting but I've been reading the forum for years. I guess this cortisone dent finally pushed me to post.   I got a relatively small pimple on m...
