So get this - i just called my regular derm and said I want to talk about my scars and they said - just so you know thats going to cost you $150 dollars and not the regular $40 that I pay for speciali...

Wow! He sounds like a jerk. Without question, I would quickly forget his name. My doctor doesn't self promote on sites like realself. You won't find him in the media. He is a true gem in the rough. I ...

one of the reasons why i think my doc thought the topicals would help was because she didnt see the scars at this angle and i honestly feel like right when i stopped the accutane, the scars were not t...

oh also - in a year we are going to start trying to have a baby... so my one friend suggested i wait to do anything for the scars til after i have kids because my acne could get worse and i could get ...

it makes me sad that the surgeon would suggest something that wouldnt help you know... makes me so frustrated. and this doctor is one of the best in PA and in the US - the thing that go to me though i...

Sadly, you have some deep scars. I agree that subcision & Fractional Co2 (ablative) are your best options. The key to your success is going to be your treating physician's skill. You need to find ...

Have you experienced any hollow pockets of skin from subcision? If yes, have they filled in some?

How are your ice pick & boxcar scars doing? Still showing improvement?

Hey I have another re:pair question: is it fine to do this with either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon? Whether it's a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, experience, skill and confidence in im...

And yeah, you should probably get that clarified with the "two treatments" thing. He didn't explain it to me like that. Oh, and, keep in mind, he also requires a $1000 deposit like a week or so befo...

There are, however, some topicals that can help reduce acne scarring. TCA and retinoids are more powerful than most AHAs and have been proven for decades to have positive effects on acne scars.  ...

Please keep in mind that I'm speaking in context of squivi55 treating her scars. You can see her pictures in her first post.

Consultations are free. The price he quoted me for the entire procedure was $3000. However, he said the standard cost was actually $5000, and his website actually says $2500, so I don't know. $3000 is...

For example, it would be interesting to see the outcome of this study and exactly what kind of scarring was involved, plus what procedures, if any, were combined with Laviv treatment: Also, I have...

heres another study..its being investigated That's actually a press release from the company, so it is biased. I am not knocking laviv. I think it's exciting. I just think it's risky because they ...

where did u read that laviv gives nodules i really havent heard many cases of that happening..and every procedure has risks but i think laviv is rather safe since its dealing with ur own collagen ...

I hate nodules, I am 99% clear except for this nodule on the bottom of my jaw since January. I have looked up how to get rid of nodules and I never really get a answer, do you possibly know how to ge...

Wow! Laviv sounds risky. People have grown nodules from it. That's highly unfortunate. No wonder why it didn't get FDA approval for scars.

Hey tokyogirl isolagen is back its name is Laviv now and the company's name is Fibrocell Science. Its approved in the U.S for fine lines and being tested for scars but some doctors are using it on the...

In terms of cost, this is an interesting analysis of what it *might* cost when it hits the US market: Keep in mind, the cost is just for the ReCell kit. It would probably be cheaper to travel to t...

Oh wow that is extremely expansive, I think ill just 3-4 Deep FXs did you decide how you were going to schedule your 2nd appointment. I haven't decided on a doctor yet. I'm still doing consultat...

Surely it cant be that expansive, they just scape off some skin and spray it on you. It will be VERY expensive because you will have to use laser to recreate your wounds. They can't just spray it ...

Isolagen showed a lot more promise for existing acne scars. The FDA did not approve it. Hopefully, someone will save the company, so they can continue pursuing FDA approval. www.realself.com/site/sea...

We should try a Deep/SCAAR Fx + ReCell combo a few months from now, there was a guy named Ernestio who did Subscision + Repair + ReCell and had amazing results. I don't know about you but I can'...
