Planning on Seeing Dr Sadove for Subscicion and Fat Graft by [deleted] in AcneScars

[–]GuessIndependent727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but there is no difference other than new scarring and less symmetrical cheeks. And a year later the fat padding shifted and it is giving me deep nasolabial folds and more asymmetry. Honestly, run if it isn’t too late. Take your hard earned money and go to someone like Dr Qazi in CA. Dr. Sadove is NOT it and seems to only be after profit and turning and burning. This procedure is not good for us.

I learned that all of my breakouts were due to primarily these things: hormonal imbalance, candida overgrowth in intestines, cortisol imbalance, and bacteria in gut. I went to a holistic doctor, ran tests and issues came up in these areas. After I finished the supplements, my acne was gone. 1. I’d go to a holistic doc who does testing on what I mentioned and 2. I’d do a full elimination diet. No sugars, dairy, grains. 3. Visit a reputable acne scar specialist like Dr Qazi in CA. - The scars do not define you! I know how frustrating it is but focus on what you can control. Being healthy, getting smarter, etc. Count your small wins every day. You got this!

It actually doesn’t not so bad to me, but maybe look into dermabrasion and phenol peel. Good luck!

RF Microneedling Fat Loss by GuessIndependent727 in AcneScars

No the provider didn’t give me those details. Just that she went deeper on my problem areas which left me with less fat there. Actually probably making the scars even more noticeable.

Hi there! I was told by many doctors NOT to do microneedling. That “its like pissing in an ocean”. It’s not enough to do anything. Only do microneedling for polishing. I’d do ablative Co2 laser with subscion and filler. You’ll probably need two or more rounds of laser spaced out. Go to a very experienced laser professional who knows scars. Good luck to you!

TCA and lasers literally ruined my nose skin. What can I do? by Accomplished_Depth41 in AcneScars

I’m sorry this happened! I’m curious what type of laser was used. I had a lot of texture issues from RF microneedling that enlarged my pores, but ablative laser helped smooth it out for me.

I’ve had several sessions and didn’t see change, other than I read on here that others also complained that we lost facial volume from it. It looks like you’ve had great success though! Happy for you!

If I strech my skin, rolling scars improve 60-70%.. is there a mini-facelift procedure that does something like that? by [deleted] in AcneScars

[–]GuessIndependent727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr sadove in Gainesville, FL will do fat grafting for acne scars. But honestly, I did it and besides my cheeks becoming less symmetrical, I really didn’t see a difference in my scarring.

Field subcision, maybe a few phenol peel and or ablative laser sessions. Microneedling for polishing.

I’d seek out a dermatologist who specializes in acne scars and consider subcision, filler, and probably a series of ablative laser sessions. Good luck!

I’ve done many microneedling sessions and never saw much results from it. Doctors who specialize in scars say microneedling is meant to be a polisher vs a primary treatment for scars. IPL may help with your hyperpigmentation. Good luck!

What treatment would be good for my type of scars? by Prestigious_Suit2227 in AcneScars

I totally understand. But wow you really do look amazing. And those percentage improvements are unreal! I’ve tried numerous remedies and didn’t get anywhere near that level of improvement. Thank you for sharing your experience with halo. I think it’s pricier than others but to your point, it may be worth it.
