I don't know much about CO2RE but if your doctor used the highest settings for the depth stated, then it is equivalent to Active FX or MixTo. In other words, it is not a deep laser. You will likely ex...

If you only got a week until the event, you might as well forget the treatment. From my experience, after a 1.5 mm dermastamp session with minor bleeding, Week 1: Face red as an apple Week 2~3: Maj...

Microdermabrasion won't do anything for ice pick scars or scarred pores. It should improve the overall texture and color of your skin. It is good for exfoliation and leaves your skin looking renewed a...

This is just a facial scrub. Not sure why they call it microdermabrasion because it is not remotely similar. Highly unlikely it will do anything for scarring.   I have used MUAC's scrubs in the...

Wow, sorry that happened. Every time I think I've seen and heard it all, I'm just dumbfounded by people's capacity for cruelty. Uh, I think it depends on what were the intentions of that person...

i've been through so much hell now that i am 37 i don't even feel normal anymore ...i think it has messed up my head so much i can never go back Sorry to hear you are down. I have been through a lot...

I take back what I said. Appears they fixed Search. I last tried it a few months ago and you couldn't get results more than 180 days old. I was actually trying it by PM with someone else at the forum ...

Search only goes back a set period of time now. You can't search all posts. I use Google. Simply type site:acne.org followed by your search term, like this: site:acne.org subcision   As long as...

i posted a pic of myself on fb and someone i know took the pic photoshopped it where u couldn't see the scars then sent it to me ...isn't that like such a low blow? If that happened to me, that pers...

Hey NoHope,   The study had a large group of participants. It was done on behalf of the manufacturer and for all types of scarring and skin conditions. Not sure I have seen the study you are ref...

Here is one old thread on it:   Too bad the link to the study is no longer available. It had quite a lot of photos of patients with acne scars and the results were truly unimpressive. They were...

I did a Google search on Intracel last night and realized Japan was one of the first countries to offer it. A couple Japanese studies were released around 2009 and the after photos were really unimpre...

Ha filler is hylaluronic acid filler. I would try the one Blahblah suggested. It is long lasting and safe.

what are your thoughts on intracel? it sucks its not available in the states, i think you would benefit from it. after one treatment i had alright results. i beleive with 2-3 you can achieve fantasti...

Hey CherrySoda,   Call me a skeptic. 2012 wasn't that long ago and being someone who has done business on the Internet for 15+ years, I know it is not unusual to start planting seeds one to two ...

I agree with everything Blahblah said about Sculptra. Do your research on horror stories and don't even risk it. I do not remember Sculptra's old brand name but you can probably figure it out via a Go...

Just want to wish you the best of luck with results. Looks like you're healing well. Thanks for sharing your tragic journey with scar treatment as well. At times, we can make matters much worse while...

Any updates from your adventures in derma-stamping, *Inspired*? I understand your concerns with reversing improvement you have received to date. Personally, I think stamping is pretty low risk. I ha...

I am familiar with your doctor too. He has basically coined the acronym/term FAST for marketing fractional co2 spot treatment, as if spot treating is something new or original. A lot of doctors spot t...

I am a strong believer in fractional co2 for certain types of scarring and anti-aging. I have done it three times and also suffer from enlarged pores. For me, my pores are hereditary and laser did abs...

Personally I don't think you will see much permanent improvement to enlarged pores from Co2 laser. In fact, when they remove the top layer of skin, it can make the situation worse if your pores are wi...

Tissue loss includes collagen and everything else that makes up tissue. Scars are made up of collagen too but it is a different type. As a result, I don't really know how to answer your question. &nb...

Good to know Rahimi was honest with you. MixTo is not a deep laser. It is good for resurfacing but it won't do much for deeper damage. Subcision could help with deeper damage but I believe you'd still...

I just skimmed her thread and this is what she said about full face peels: ------ 1. I don't know, didn't really do that many full face peels, mostly spot treatments. In fact, I don't know if I ever...

DC Girl crosses with 30% TCA, stamps and breaks up scar tissue with single needling. I don't believe she does full face TCA peels but I may have missed that if she does.   Crossing with a lower ...
