How would you compare intracel to fractora?

I haven't been on here in a while, but I am thinking of trying fractora, which is rf needling. I have a consult on Wednesday and will talk to them about ematrix or fractora. I got the feeling from the...

People have to live with the hand they are dealt. You don't have to have children but God put us all here, for a reason, I believe, and it wasn't just to look pretty. I completely understand that we a...

I agree if you can get counseling and learn to be happy, that is the best goal. Because really, in the end, if you equate happiness with looking good, you will eventually be miserable because these bo...

I'm 38 and still struggle with the skin problems. I totally understand about how it holds you back. Even though my acne is minor now I have some moderate acne scars that to me look severe. So they wil...

I had a super bad dent on the side of my chin from picking once, looked horrible for a long time, probably because the skin is thinner there and the tissue swells up funny but that is the one scar tha...

I was trying to remember the name of the other device, you are right it is very similar to intracel. I talked with someone else on here that we getting intracel treatments, and they were happy with r...

Well, I see that there are different types of fractora out there and some are actually for getting rid of fat in the chin. I am guessing if they penetrate deeper it will melt fat. Thermage was used o...

I agree cortisone is bad and thins skin, so I haven't used it in years. The thing about my scars is they were very inflamed to begin with, even before the microdroplet silicone I had. But since I see ...

I have been thinking if I am going to try anything else, I may shell out the money for PRP or selphyl. If I knew of a good Chinese practitioner around me that might cup or vacuum my scars maybe I wou...

I am really pale skinned. From talking to another nurse I think this doctor tried everything he knew to help another girl with scarring and none of it worked, so it turned him off of treating acne sca...

I have done the single needling from owndoc.com along with the suction device broke on me after a short period of time because it was made so cheaply- don't recommend it. The single needles were so s...

I had a doctor tell me the same thing in Georgia when I went to him to consult on my acne scars. He said he didn't think laser would be worth it for my scars. He said he would do it if I really wanted...

I think the problem with silicone is when it is placed as it should be, which is pretty deep, it will not plump up the scars that are more superficial. So some doctors probably try to get it as close ...

I had three rounds total on some scars and just one round on others. The first two rounds I had done in Texas and years later I had a third with a different doctor to all of my scars including some n...

I've had a few rounds of silicone, and honestly didn't see much change. I have some wider scars that I only got one round. I think it can help in certain scars and it dependent on how much reaction yo...

I know what you mean about mirrors. I don't like to look too closely either when I'm out. I actually talked to my cousin about this and she says she won't look at her face in the mirrors at work beca...

It could have been fungal related, you could try diluted tea tree oil, it has antifungal and antibacterial properties.

what did he do and use?

Dr. Griffin does not perform silicone microdroplet anymore, don't know why. I called when I moved to Georgia because I wanted an opinion on if some of the raised tissue surrounding my indents was exa...

I feel the same as you on some days, other days I tell myself who cares, I don't have to look perfect for others and I have a family already since I am older so I'm not on the market or anything. I'v...

You look pretty good for one day out, I bet this really helps with your sun damage and wrinkles if nothing else. That is a good price too!

I think the complications from the dermabrasion really depend on how deep they go. I have read recell cannot go that deep, so if you get damage from the deeper fraxel repair it may not get deep in th...

Hey! Glad you like the hydrocolloids, I do wear them a lot at night, escpecially if I have a little zit that might be swollen, it helps to take the swelling down and definitely keeps me from touchin...
