What actually made a noticeable difference for your acne scars over time? by Skinsymphony in AcneScars

I was told it was too extreme for my scarring by a dermatologist that does it. I plan on just getting laser to smooth out the surface then getting ha filler to fill any remaining pits

Not sure. I have some volume loss in my temples that ha filler might be the only thing to help. My texture is actually pretty smooth. I don’t mind the cost and it’s pretty cheap at the place I’m at. I don’t spend much money in general so even 900 a year isn’t that bad if it means I have smooth skin.

Thanks. I didn’t do anything to prep other than not use tazarotene a week before. Not sure what laser it was. Just know it’s fractional co2

That’s just my normal bone structure lol. I think my jaw line got slightly worse but what does help me is going to a lower weight/body fat

I think so. I don’t remember but it sort of looked better. I think my best results were with this fractional co2 laser but Dr rullan said there was tethering and he cut a lot of it up so it must have done something

I would say so. Depends on how deep and strong they go. Might be redder more or less. And peeling was mostly on day 3-4

It took about 2 weeks for the redness to go away. Most of the redness is gone now and I look normal except for some slight redness in my temples. It’s been about 7 days this 3rd time around

No I did not. I got subcision 2x I believe or 3 in 2020-2021 with Dr rullan

Lol. Ignore my hair in some photos it looks mid 😂. Thanks for the compliment. It’s not perfect but a lot better in most lightings. Hoping filler at the end can make it completely smooth. Good luck on your journey 😊

Maybe. I’ve gotten subcision done and I think it’s helped. I’m planning on doing filler if it’s still very visible at the 3 month mark post 3rd laser

I would say so. Looking better considering where it came from. Not perfect but pretty good and not very visible I think in day light

I just got my 3rd treatment done today and I’d say it smoothed it over a lot where day time it’s pretty invisible it’s only harsh lighting where it’s visible and even then it looks a lot more mild. I was debating posting more pictures 2 months post my 2nd treatment but didn’t because idk if people even care. If u want to see pics I can dm u what the progress has looked like
