Yah, where did RaptorPilot go?!

^Scar excision, not to be confused with subcision, right?

^Except it's been 5 weeks. The normal skin returned to normal. The scars are still dark.

Yep, that's EXACTLY what happened to me so it made a bad situation worse and to add insult to injury the depressions/scars are darker than before, while the healthy skin is back to normal. I will neve...

I'm nervous. Procedures can go wrong and after all it's the face where there is no room for error. I have, based upon this forum, decided to go to Dr. Novick BUT my first visit with him will only be...

This thread dove tails with one I just started about treatment concerns. I think some of the treatments are suspect, particularly the needling variety.

I have to admit that while I want to improve my appearance, I'm worried about it making worse with treatments like subcision. I'm going to a respected doctor and will spend a good amount of money but...

Mr. Matt used a handheld Oreck vacuum, whose suction he controlled with his hand. He swears by suction and says if he had to do all of his subcisions over again, he'd suction after each subcision trea...

I have been reading where suction about three days after subcision helps to prevent the depressions from re-tethering. Besides using a real vacuum cleaner nozzle as some have done, are there other de...

I read where some people were suggesting microneedling. I am VERY wary of it from personal experience. I had a test done on my temple with Skinpen. It reddened the area (three weeks now) AND it seems...

I made an appointment to see Dr. Novick. Is he really the best? Has anyone visited Dr. Ringfeil in Philadelphia?

I am very disappointed with my Skinpen microneedling test experience. It mimicked another member's experience where his/her skin was said to look bumpier afterward. Mine certainly does and two weeks l...

Thanks, guys. I was in the sun (walking) the next day with 70 spf suncreen but I think my skin may have burned a bit. It's still red just over a week later. I'm not using tretinorin. I was given s...

I had a similar issue with Skinpen. Redness for what's been just over a week now -- slowly fading. I did go out into the sun the next day after treatment with 70spf suncreen applied and I was walking...

After researching microneedling, I thought perhaps it might help the unevenness of my skin that was caused from years of acne.  However, I did read at this forum about one person who felt ...
