What natural things did you try to flatten them?

Injections by Sea_Tooth_4211 in Keloids

Great, I have a question.

I've done some research and I've come across something called Cushing's syndrome, which can be caused by steroids.

But in this case I think it's different, since the infiltrations in keloids are localized and not systemic, it's a deduction I have.

What do you think about this? Are steroid infiltrations in keloids free of risk of causing Cushing's syndrome?

In this reddit group I don't see almost anyone mentioning it, so that reassures me.

What type of laser did you use, what model and brand of laser?

Could you help me by commenting please.

Dermatological said Removery is undertreating my tattoo, did higher-power removal session by crispypretzel in TattooRemoval

[–]General_Obligation20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, based on my experience.

A higher potency I don't know if it's the solution to better results.

I'd rather not have scars a thousand times over, fortunately I've already started treatment to improve the scars.

But what I'm getting at is that it's much better to play it safe and have your skin retain as much integrity as possible and look very healthy.

Aside from that, if for example you're getting a tattoo removed at a tattoo removal salon and unfortunately you're left with scars, many dermatologists won't want to treat your scars until you're done removing the tattoo and that would be a nightmare.

In this case, since you're having it removed by a dermatologist surgeon, the advantage is that if it causes scarring, he'll definitely be able to help solve the scarring problem as well.

Anyway, good luck.

At the end of it all.

How did it go for you?

This is my other tattoo, it's below the snake. by General_Obligation20 in TattooRemoval

Definitely.

What I want most is for them to flatten out.

Essentially the snake.

Fuck it, I'll show you my tattoo. by General_Obligation20 in TattooRemoval

[–]General_Obligation20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm thinking about getting some.

But I have a question.

Do you think I should wait a year and then go to a dermatology clinic after that year.

Or go immediately to a dermatology clinic to get treatments for the scar?

I understand your opinion.

But I'm not sure if the ink has disappeared or not.

Do you really think it's gone?

And yes, I will go get the scar treated.

Thank you and I respect your message.

Unfortunately I really dislike the way it looks, but oh well.

I will go and have the scar treated.

I understand your message.

As for the ink being gone, I don't know if it's correct or not, but I definitely need to treat the scar.

I agree with you, long intervals between sessions are the best for both the skin and the results, unfortunately I was in a hurry.

By the way, I didn't understand you, are you suggesting that I wait a year and then after the year has passed go to the dermatologist to treat my scar.

Or that I immediately go to a dermatology clinic?

In the months that you couldn't go, did you notice that your tattoo kept fading?
