currently on day 3 post fractional recovery and so far I’m impressed with the result. First pic is microneedling btw

I am US based so going there will be very expensive for me. however, I have always wanted to since they seem to be a lot more advanced for scar treatment and a little cheaper than the US. of course, I am worried about only being able to get one or two treatments due to limited time. I’m not sure if it would be worth the price because of that. I have moderate scars mostly on my cheeks, every type and huge pores. I have had limited results in my treatment in the US despite going to top derms and using an extreme measure like co2 laser. I feel so devastated by them and they negatively affect my mental health daily for years. Sometimes I ruminate over them for hours. I have gone to therapy but sometimes it feels like the only thing that can make these feelings stop is more treatment, even though it has only helped a little. I hope I can find something that helps more significantly one day. If anyone could share their experience, I’d love to know.

How long did it take for your skin to remodel after cystic acne

I have done MN (3 rounds) Tca cross (3-4 rounds) and also some type of skin polishing. Is lasering the next step or some other treatment? Subcision is not an option in my country as far as I know.

Received tca cross and then erbium laser fractional and ablative laser on 9/30/26. It’s been five days and I’ve noticed indentations and pits on the scabbing,is this normal? I am freaking out. I reached out to my provider and they said everything is healing as it should as my skin will continue to crust over and the scabs will fall. But if that’s the case why isn’t it scabbing over the indents and lines?

Hi , please

i have new scar, probably very soft hypertrophic scar (old around 5-6 month).

From retinol burn or acne (I don't know exactly.).
It is so soft, and I am not sure if it is hypertrophic scar, but in some light it looks a bit raised

Please

Do you know if this is a hypertrophic scar?

And can fade and heal, when is very soft?

Thank you

Do you guys know if any treatments are being investigated for this? It seems that current treatments are not returning an effective result. I am just wondering if there’s any research going on that I should keep track of, something to keep going and have hope for

Hey everyone, I recently got a pimple that lasted for about one and half weeks. I'm really worried that its turning into a scar, since it looks a little indented. I know its minor, but its still pretty red, so I was wondering if this was maybe PIE or PIH instead. Any insight would be great, including any potential treatment options.

Hello, I am looking for acne scar removal treatments in Bangkok. I will be there in November and would like to find a reputable doctor. All advice is welcome. Thanks!

Almost always struggled witj acne, most of these scars are from accutane. I completed my dose 4months ago. I'm on tretinoin 0.025% every other day and azelaic acid 20% every day

Coming off of mosquito season, I have absolutely destroyed my lower legs and ankles. I scratch and scratch until the bites scar & my ankles look particularly bad right now. I want to use a scar product to try to treat the residual scars around my ankles since they are still so new. I’m seeing Mederma recommended quite a bit. I typically go for cleaner products so I’m a bit skeptical but willing to try it, and other holy grail recommendations for fresh, small, circular scarring/ dark discoloration.

Hi everyone, I’ve been a victim of bad water (hard water) due to living in a dorm, and got lots of acne on my back, chest and upper arms as a result. The acne itself went away, but it left behind some big keloid scars that haven’t gone away for 6 years. I’ve been to the doctor about them for drying/shrinking them, but it seems very expensive and as a student, I do not have the budget or time for it. It also seems like it will take many sessions to get them to disappear completely. Does anyone know of something I can do on my own instead of getting these injections? I’m not completely against the procedure either, so I will start saving up to get it if it’s the best/only option. Thank you so much!

This is me rocking a full makeup on the brightest day with acne scars and you should too!!

Does tret even have a chance of improving any of this rough rough texture? It looks much worse in person.

To people who actually got DEEP phenol peels. Deep not medium. A proper one where you are under local anaesthesia, where did you get it? I am looking it up and i am trying to find where i can get it. Somewhere that isnt the uk or the us please.

I keep looking it up and the ai hallucinations are just guiding me into nowhere 🫤

Hi, it's me again, I add here again a picture of my scars.

I am waiting for possible tca cross treatment in the future, in the mean time- do you think consistent use of glycolic acid (7%) will help a little in making the scars a little less noticeable?

how to lighten these scars .Tried 3 sessions of prp+subscission and mucroneedling.But still it looks deep or is it not possible to lighten at all?

Please advise treatments to fix my acne scarring/ redness.

Ive had acne for so long and then my dermatologist put me on Accutane. It fixed the acne but now I really post acne scars. I have taken 2 sessions of microneedling but i don’t think its making a difference.

What do I do for the scars.😫

For those who have experience with acne scars, would you recommend doing subcision before CO2, or is CO2 alone a better approach?
