I understand your personal reasons. I just don't understand why I'm being told conflicting information. It's already been 3.5 months for me. I'm impatient to move forward! I scheduled a consultatio...

Hopefully, this doesn't end up like Isolagen if it works. Isolagen showed impressive results in an acne scar study done for the FDA. The FDA rejected it, saying the method was too complex or something...

DRaGZ, You mentioned returning for a touch-up in July. If collagen takes up to 6 months to rebuild, wouldn't it be more beneficial to wait that period before treating your scars again? Isn't it risk...

Bleeding DID surface for about two-three days afterward (I don't remember exactly how long), but I washed my face and applied a new layer of Aquaphor every four hours. That picture was taken right aft...

I don't remember exactly what happened right after the surgery, since I was still drowsy from the meds (I couldn't even get up by myself), but Rahimi said he cleaned me up to prevent me from being too...

My last check-up was...1.5 weeks ago? He said my progress looked pretty normal and that my healing should continue over the next two months or so. I haven't really had much reason to contact him, sinc...

The only bleaching solution I am using is kojic acid. I am not entirely certain of what the underlying mechanism of HQ is, but kojic acid only shuts down melanin production. It doesn't have an actual ...

Tokyogirl - Thank you for the sunblock tips. It looks like you have had some pretty good improvements with the Deep FX. Did you notice an improvement in your scars months out as the doctors claim or w...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am interested to see how this goes for you. You really should stay completely out of the sun. My doctor told me to live like a vampire with sun protection appli...

First of all, congratulations on your amazing results! I hope your response only get better from here. Yeah, Doxycyclin was what he put me on. Tried it for ten days. Nothing at all changed, just s...

If you'd like to know a bit more about Benzol Peroxide, here's an article that may be of interest: he Blatant Dangers of Benzoyl Peroxide (snip) Doesn't this article come from sites selling tree ...

Yeah, it came up because of Aquaphor. I told him about it, he prescribed me some antibiotics, but they haven't worked, so I've been back on my usual BP treatment. I may just contact him about it on ...

I would love to see your progress photos, but only post them if/when you're comfortable. Even though this is an acne forum and we've all had acne, I don't think I would post pics with a flare up eithe...

Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience and photos. I am really impressed with your results. I had a plastic surgeon recommend Mixto last year but I couldn't find enough information on it, so I ...

No peel is permanent. Not unless you use so high a concentration that it damages the dermis and creates burn scars. If someone has any research stating otherwise, please post. :] Dermabrasion is the o...

I found the other article. It is actually for the same study that I previously linked above. Here's the full article for free:/> Three months after the last treatment, one patient noted a decrease...

According to this study, TCA CROSS benefits did reverse for a few patients. Conclusion:   The CROSS technique with 100% TCA is a safe, efficacious, cost-effective and minimally invasive techniq...

I tried telling her that I dont think the Active FX would help acne scars, but she insisted. And I have not much choice because she is the only person in my city that offers Fractional Co2. Sometimes ...

Wow nice Improvement, would you attribute most of your improvement to the DEEP FX laser? because i have similar scars to you and I did the active fx, which did nothing =/. Also how much less are you b...

Based on my experience, TCA CROSS hyperpigmentation is more severe. I had a difficult time getting rid of all the burn dots on my face. After about 6 months, I was still suffering from dark dots, and ...

Thanks for sharing your exprience. If I can figure out how to post pictures at this forum (is there a guide?), I would love to show my results so far. Like I said above, I've had one Deep FX treatment...

Hello,   I've been reading the board for several months now, and have done extensive search online on the treatment of acne scars, specifically boxcar & icepick. It's extremely easy to find b...
