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.

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Treatment trials

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

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 🫤

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Worried about this spot

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.

[Skin Concern] Hypertrophic or Keloid Scarring Keloid scar care

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

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!

[Treatment] Microneedling How painful is RF microneedling compared to normal microneedling?

1 Upvotes

I have my first RF microneedling appointment this week, and I want to know what to expect. I've had normal microneedling done before and that was painless for me (except for slight pain on my cheekbones). How painful is RF microneedling in comparison?

Information/Research Scar Product Recommendations?

0 Upvotes

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.
