please help me with my scars---i have pics
AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to hitmanrva10's topic in Scar treatments
i remember my derm(s) telling me that my red marks will fade around the 6 month area.both said that to me. now its nearly 9 years later and there still there. if yours are still that red after a year then theres a chance they MIGHT not fade on there own.im speaking from my own experience of course. maybe your redmarks will fade on there own. but again if there still there after a year it might be around for many more years(like mine). i waited for mine to fade for 4 years on there own before -
25% tca peel ok for red marks?
AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to dave21's topic in Hyperpigmentation - red/dark marks
i done 25% tca for red spots and liked the results,they(spots) didnt fade completely but faded quite a bit. i actually done 50% tca also about 4 months after i did the 25% and the spots faded even more,but still not completely. the tca left the surrounding area of the skin slightly a little pink but nothing horrid looking.the pink is nearly gone now. i would try a very small area first just to test. just to be safe. i also do 70% glycolic acid once in a while and that also does a decent job of -
I had Dermabrasion and a TCA Peel about a week ago.

i also stopped using the vasoline after about 3 days-- i was like forget about it,to slimy,THICK,and nasty and impossible to get off.the crap was just building up on my face. it was hard to get the stuff off cause i couldnt even gentle touch my skin without feeling some pain cause the skin was so super sensitive. it even hurt a little just to let the cool water gentle splash on my face in the shower for the first few days. - my doctor told me to make sure that i ONLY use neutrogena skin cl -

AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to Leila24's topic in Scar treatments
i was taking these pills called tetracycline, i had to continue taking them twice everyday,and that also includes all the days after the dermabrasion,there was no time when i stopped taking them. i was told to stop taking retin-A. i think my doctor said to wait 2-4 weeks after the dermabrasion to start taking retin-A again. but i never continued it cause all retin-A ever did for me was make my face really red, i use to be on it for a long time and never saw any results from retin-A. The d -

AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to Leila24's topic in Scar treatments
i only had it done once- the doctor said he went pretty deep down into the skin, i was very pleased with the results- the marks nearly completely faded,you would have to look real close to see a red spot. BUT the medication i was on was kinda lousy in terms of effectiveness- i would go a month or two without any breakouts,then just all of a sudden wake up with about 4-5 pimples- and thats what happened- i broke out on the skin were i had the dermabrasion done, and it ended up re-scarring,or sh -

i also had a dermabrasion at 24 (2 years ago) - the only way i can describe how your gonna look for the first month is -freddy kruger- - its hideous- but after the first month MOST of the redness goes away- but some redness seems to linger for about another 6-8 months- - it sounds like you have indents (craters)on your face? i didnt actually have that so i cant talk in terms of what results you might expect to get- i actually had REALLY DEEP red spots that have been on my face for over 8 -
i havent tried it yet because im waiting till next week, i got vacation time coming- and from what i understand,your gonna need some downtime when you do a 25% tca peel- about 2 weeks downtime- i dont wanna go out in public looking like a freak with brown and red skin lol. im not gonna use it on my entire face, just the temples and a little on the cheeks- i only tried a little bit on my forearm to test it out,and you can really feel it, STRONG stuff- but after the sting it actually numb the

BOO on mederma (for red spots..break out!)
AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to iofthetiger's topic in Scar treatments
i went through 2 and a half tubes of mederma for my red spots,i was really desperate to get these spots off my face so i stuck with it for a while- ive had the same red spots since 1995- i went thrpugh 2 and a half tubes of that mederma crap,and it made zero difference on my red spots,it didnt help the spots fade in the slightest bit- what worked best for me on my redspots was glycolic peels,so far after 5 peels of glycolic acid,my spots have faded QUITE a bit. great product -
peels are pretty effective on the red spots- but i havent heard of ppl having much improvement on indentations

Lactic Acid Effect Plateau?
AHnald_schwarSCARnegger replied to lucid epidermis's topic in Scar treatments
hhmmm-im not sure if theres a higher percentage then 50 when it comes to lactic-i believe i read that glycolic is stronger than lactic,such as- a 30% glycolic peel is just as strong as a 40% lactic peel-40% glycolic is just as strong as a 50% percent lactic peel,ect ect ect.. i know glycolic goes up to 60 and 70 percent,maybe you should try one of those if you plateau with your current peel of 50 lactic -
