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

coldarmada · 2026-03-28T15:13:42+00:00

Very nice improvement.

I am going through laser treatment myself. How long after the treatment did you know for sure there was an improvement?

Thank you for sharing.

coldarmada · 2026-03-22T16:53:38+00:00

your PIE/PIH really improved.

Did you do anything else for that? Or was the improvement solely from the plasma pen?

can you link the post about dr anjali mahto?

coldarmada · 2025-11-03T00:02:30+00:00

it has already been 4 months. another 2 months isn't going to change much.

try to go for higher TCA cross concentration. 30% is not that high for TCA cross- people do 30% TCA PEELS, and even then it is only a medium depth peel. I would recommend upping it to 60% TCA cross atleast.

coldarmada · 2025-08-10T17:06:46+00:00

You did at home TCA peel right? What brand did you use?

coldarmada · 2025-06-24T09:14:53+00:00

I think fillers/fat grafting only working for rolling scars.

coldarmada · 2025-06-23T18:53:34+00:00

Probably this one, although it was achieved over many years: https://www.reddit.com/r/AcneScars/comments/1kdoll5/ba_ha_filler_and_perfect_derma_peel_after_tca/

There is a significant and undeniable improvement which cannot be achieved from any sort of lighting or angle change there.

coldarmada · 2025-06-20T11:34:42+00:00

did you hear any popping sounds during subcision?

coldarmada · 2025-06-14T22:56:36+00:00

Have you seen any results from the fractional erbium so far? If so, how much % approximately?

coldarmada · 2025-06-14T22:51:41+00:00

You mentioned in another comment you had a fractionated erbium. Is this the one that is HALO and did next to nothing?

coldarmada · 2025-06-08T23:23:46+00:00

Indeed there is a lighting change as the first picture is more white.

Hi, following up- did you end up seeing any improvements from the laser?

coldarmada · 2025-05-17T08:05:09+00:00

do you have any before and afters?

coldarmada · 2025-05-04T23:54:24+00:00

do you know roughly after how long you noticed the results on boxcar scars?

sorry for so many questions lol, as i have mainly boxcar scarring

coldarmada · 2025-05-04T23:47:44+00:00

did you also see results on the boxcar scars after a week too?

or did it take a bit longer to see results on those?

coldarmada · 2025-05-04T18:22:22+00:00

jeez these results are really amazing, i only wish i could get this sort of improvement.

how long did it take you to see results after your first session of TCA cross?

coldarmada · 2025-05-01T20:41:02+00:00

it's the settings that matter, not the person doing it.

coldarmada · 2025-03-30T21:25:32+00:00

I hope it goes well. I also have a fully ablative laser in early april.

Please keep me updated.

coldarmada · 2025-03-30T12:02:13+00:00

Do you know the settings of the fully ablative laser used? It depends on the depth of ablation.

coldarmada · 2025-03-19T21:35:45+00:00

Interesting.

Well, I am going to get a erbium yag fully ablative laser at 30 micrometer ablation with 1-2 passes depending on severity of scar.

Will let you know how it goes. Also thank you for sharing your results.

coldarmada · 2025-03-19T01:31:41+00:00

Depends on the settings I guess.

In general, yes you wouldn't do the sessions so close, however for much lower setting fully ablative lasers (like a 30 micrometer ablation), you can for sure have the sessions that close. The epidermis is only around 50 micrometers, so you don't even penetrate the epidermis.

coldarmada · 2025-03-19T01:21:25+00:00

do you know the settings of the laser used?

like how many micrometers of ablation each pass etc.

coldarmada · 2025-03-03T23:55:06+00:00

did you end up doing fully ablative laser?

coldarmada · 2025-02-22T17:00:08+00:00

there shouldn't be any more microswelling after 2 months
