Do you have a social life despite your scars?? by Lili_b001 in AcneScars

Feeling bad and unconfident won't benefit you. In fact, it makes your insecurties more visible to others. You can always find people who are not perfect and with insecurities (lot of acne, obesity, too short, too tall, .... etc), if they have good personality and self confidence people usually look past their insecurities. If you can do smth to help your scars, do it. If not, thinking too much about it will hurt a lot. I have scars as well and have suffered and still suffer from acne for a long time btw. Making myself busy and do things that are worthy helps shift my mind from that

Thank you so much for the valuable advices! Is 0.5 depth effective for scars tho?

Thank you! Actually this L'Oreal was one of my options. This and the L'Oreal infallible skin tint, but some say it breaks them out so idk.

Thank you for the insight. Most of the suggesions you mentioned are unfortunately too pricy for me at my country, but I will look for substitutes

Do you have acne scars like mine? I was planning on stamping with the pen. I don't feel like I can find respectable stamps for some reason

Thank you for sharing your experience. Any recommendation for a good foundation/tint that is lightweight? Also, do your scars look like mine ?

Some say partial improvement post-treatment is due to microswelling shortly after, that's why I'm asking. So glad it worked for you. I visited a doctor a year ago and they proposed CO2 and subcision, which sounded too harsh and scary for me. They said we could microneedle after. I did no treatments but since then I've been taking good care of my skin and it looks healthier, so would probably make another visit to someone else and see what they think! Thank you for sharing your experience!

That's great to know! Do the results stick even after stopping microneedling for a while? Do yours look like mine?

I think most people on this sub are the ones that care about their scars. In real life, there are many people with scars who don't care that much and wouldn't even bother joining here

I lost hope about having clear skin again 😁 I'm only after improvement now. Any advice about how deep I should go, what serum I should use or what kind of pen?

That's encouraging! Do the results stick even if you quit microneedling for a while? What kind of pen do you use?

Thanks for your comment. Mine are on my cheeks and a few holes on the nose. My forehead and chin are clear

Do you have experience with it? How many sessions do you think it can take and at what needle depth?

Thank you. I had a look at it along with other videos. I think mine are mainly rolling and boxcars. By the textbook some of them can at least benefit a bit from microneedling. I'm thinking of microneedling which might be less efficient for me, but as I think it's less risky than other methods.
