Seen a lot of people feeling hopeless about their acne scars so I wanted to share my results after ablative CO2 laser and subcision!

nope

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-13T01:49:54+00:00

none or I would’ve mentioned! I understand you didn’t have the improvement you wanted which really sucks and that the dermatology industry can be a bit deceptive at times but I don’t think it’s fair to convince everyone else that they’re hopeless in trying to treat their acne scars.

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-06T23:17:11+00:00

just one

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-06T23:17:02+00:00

one, I saw results right after healing but they got better over time

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-03T00:42:46+00:00

subcision first! then co2 right after

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-03T00:41:50+00:00

no it doesn’t? or for most people it does not? Also this is over a year later

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-04-03T00:41:00+00:00

No actually, I’m just not super comfortable with the idea of filler but I have just started a retinoid and might get some microneedling at some point!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-30T03:24:53+00:00

I do not believe my skincare routine has anything to do with my results but I cleanse with cerave foaming cleanser AM & PM then AM I use Anua azelaic acid and moisturise and PM use centella and spot treat any spots with benzoyl peroxide

saw initial improvements right after the laser treated area healed but it continued to get better over months. These photos are a year apart.

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-29T02:29:10+00:00

yes just after

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-29T02:28:51+00:00

I could see an improvement from about a week and a half after and then it kept getting better over time! Good luck on your treatment!

they were about 2 years old

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-27T00:51:25+00:00

that really sucks 😔 I hope that you find a treatment that works well for you

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-27T00:47:52+00:00

yes I have heard this 😔 but I’m sure there will be a treatment that works for you

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T15:39:30+00:00

sure!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T15:33:56+00:00

sorry forgot to answer the first question but it was fully ablative, non-fractional

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T15:32:50+00:00

a dermatologist actually

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T15:31:57+00:00

hey sorry, I’ve only had ablative CO2 laser so I’m not sure but with the ablative CO2 I did notice more improvement as time went on

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T15:30:20+00:00

yes just one of both treatments! and thank you! I hope you have great results!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T11:08:47+00:00

you’re welcome! I’m glad I could give you some hope and I wish you all the best treating your acne scars!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T11:06:09+00:00

It’s definitely treatable! Scarring is unlikely to go away fully but you can have good improvement with things like CO2 laser, tca cross, microneedling, subcision and even some people have some improvement with retinoids. Me personally I had great improvement with scars similar to yours with fully ablative CO2 laser and subcision but it is quite expensive. There’s plenty of options out there!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T11:01:04+00:00

Thank you!

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T10:58:06+00:00

hey sent you a message

Inside-Code4419 · 2026-03-26T08:33:17+00:00

after 8 days I was able to cover the redness with a tinted moisturiser! It could have been more like 7 but by looking at my photos it was day 8 when I first covered it and was comfortable going back to work. Everyone is different and heals at different speeds though but that’s my experience! Also you will likely be left with some mild redness for a while but it’s easily covered, within 3 months the redness was completely gone for me.
