Sorry to hear about your experiences sverd. It is good to hear all sides when it comes to lasers. It sounds like you did receive damage similar to someone burned, but really your pic is not so bad. ...

Also yeah I always squint and make "angry faces" during basketball which scrunches up my forehead lines ... i think they are also due to tanning.. i tan like twice a week for the past 6 years lol. &nb...

Austra, I've been there. For me, the minor scarring began to bother me immensely after I came to these boards. Prior to coming here, the few scars I had were only a minor irritation. I have tried to e...

I do think the boards can serve a purpose too, as I learned a lot about treatments and did read about side effects, which no doctor will likely tell you. I probably know more about scar treatments th...

It is heartbreaking to read of some peoples experiences with laser. I have read on the IPL and Laser damage support forum similar stories to yours, toomuch. I did have IPL with very little change, b...

I've been here forever, too, you've probably seen me in the scar forum, and what you say is so true! Some of my scars have gotten better with time and perhaps some treatments, but then other treatmen...

Nice thread, good to see the subcision results! Confused about the lasers you said, it was 3 different ones? Fraxel, CO2 and Herbal? I have never heard of a herbal laser, perhaps you meant erbium l...

You might be interested in this: I am thinking of purchasing one. I have order dermastamps from the site in the past and they are good.

Does your forehead look worse after all the lasers, peels and dermarolling? I ask because my forehead looks similar even though I've never had bad acne on it. I think it has just been over-exfoliatio...

You are right about the artefill, I have heard it doesn't last forever in some people. It wasn't that expensive for me though when I went to a Kansas City clinic, they are running all kinds of specia...

Silicone IS safe. For people that aren't allergic to it, it's 100% inert inside the body. The issue has always been the application of it, which requires a very good doctor, but that's true for any pr...

Your forehead looks great oopli, thanks for reporting back on your experience. I think you are right in that silicone can't help certain types of scars, maybe that was my problem all along, my scars ...

One doctor just said it would cause more scarring, another doctor said my scars weren't the right type, and he said he did do a lot of subcision in his office. However I think they are bound down a l...

I've had three rounds of silicone microdroplet as well as one round of artefill. And I still have pretty noticable scars, but maybe softer from the artefill. The first two rounds of silicone I had d...

Probably best you don't go back to that doctor. Juvederm very rarely gives permanent results, and for me many like myself, fillers disappear after one or two weeks and do absolutely nothing! And i t...

Thanks for the review, nice to know someone else likes the products. That product is different that the $450 stem cell c'rum though, I actually called today to ask if the product is recommended after...

Thanks for following up! Sorry you are down to 15% improvement, but maybe you will see more collagen growth in the months to come. I think needling does provide some slow improvement, even on the tet...

Thanks for the review, nice to know someone else likes the products. That product is different that the $450 stem cell c'rum though, I actually called today to ask if the product is recommended after...

I think I am going to try this stuff out with .5 dermaroller every few days and then perhaps dermastamp on the worst scars every 6 weeks. While reading about it again, I noticed it can be injected. ...

That is interesting. Did you apply right after your manual dermabrasion and needling? you would think if you had pinpoint bleeding the watery c'rum would not get in there good. So you applied every...

I would be interested in someone comparing the healing after cross or dermabrasion, dermastamping with polysporin versus this c'rum. Because they would both then be moist wound healing rather than te...

I have soft rolling scars. I think there wasn't much injected in me the first two times, really didn't see much happen at all. The third time I went to a different doctor she injected all over, even...

It's been about five years since I had my first two injections and no bad results from that. I had another round last year and had some inflammation where the needle was inserted. It was different do...

It will cost money but you could always search out a good plastic surgeon and get fat transfer to your face, it would definitely plump it back up but your face shape may change and the fat may not las...

I never had any similar problem with dermarolling either. I have kind of heard of similar things from fractionated laser, like loss of fat, even though they swear the lasers don't go that deep either...
