Avatar m tn I have acne scars and general poor skin from going on roaccutane for my acne. I want rid of the scars and just a general rejuvenation of skin but so far every doctor I've seen has told me something different.
Avatar f tn I'm booked in for a fraxel laser treatment on my nose cheeks and forehead for large open pores and "ice pick" scarring (or is this the same thing)? Can anyone tell me of their own experiences with this or someone they know maybe??? Was it successful or a total waste of time, money and pain? There is so much info on the internet about this I just want to hear the opinions of some "real" people. I'm getting really nervous about it. Help!!!
Avatar f tn I have recently had fraxel refine treatment done on two scars. I have just been reading about a lady who had treatment done and then 1-2 years later her face is a mess (http://www.realself.com/review/do-not-do-fraxel-ruined-face-burns. ) I am really scared now. Does fraxel cause damage that may not show tell sometime later. Or is her case rare. Same with IPL is this safe?
Avatar n tn My question is whether i will be able to correct these texture problems and scars in the future with fraxel or would fraxel make my skin worse since i now have rosacia.
Avatar f tn Thank you, I have had 2-3 sitting of yag laser n dye star laser but i still have marks and the scars are the same. No improvement. I started that very early.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply, I think I'll post another image of my scar in a few days. This image will be about two weeks after a scab had come off of it. I've been looking into getting some fraxel laser treatment for it if I don't see any improvements in another two weeks or so. I can't imagine this scar would be hard to treat, seeing how small it is.
Avatar m tn I have many very noticeable acne scars on my face that have been there for years now. My dermatologist told me that after one or two treatments with the v beam that is would correct this but i've gone for two already and to be honest i see almost no difference at all. ive seen pictures on the internet of people much worse than me and i'm wondering why i havnt seen results yet.
Avatar n tn how do i get rid of acne scars of my face im a black male and finding it hard to find the right thing to use
Avatar f tn Hello, Benzoyl peroxide is effective for active acne lesions.Since now you are left only with scars which are a result of scratching, so they are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation scars.The treatment is the same as advised. Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Avatar n tn Look it up online under a google search and type in acne scars and there are actually different types and it will tell you what kind of treatment works for what type of scar you have.
Avatar n tn Hello, TCA peels can significantly improve freckling, blotchy or uneven pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles and shallow acne scars but for the pits caused by electrolysis,the results are not too good.Laser resurfacing is better.The other method is filling with injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.

20910642 tn?1627445346 Nothing else worked for me, as a result, scars have already formed. 95% of my scars are located on my cheeks and temples. 99% of the scars are "rolling" scars. I'm currently 25 years old and male, and I've been 1.5 years off Accutane and any oral medication for treating acne. My acne is now under control.
Avatar f tn I finally decided that my acne was troublesome enough to see a dermatologist. It isn't just the acne, but mainly the resulting scars that made me decide to seek the help of a professional. I get keloids on most of my body, but not on my face. I do have abnormal/excessive scarring on my face, but I wouldn't compare it to the keloids on my body. The facial scars are generally quite flat, but brightly pigmented (the color of inflamed acne, unfortunately).
Avatar n tn during puberty i had a fair amount of acne on my face generaly just large blemeshes wich left some small scars here and there but i also devoloped the same type of thing on the base of my penis just above my testicles probably because of cloged sweat glands or maybe in grown hairs but some of this acne has left some scaring mostly a slight discoloration as well as a slight difference in texture compared to the surrounding area its only a small part just above my testicals however the scaring i

Thank you in advance!!
Avatar m tn Please does anyone know what the technique the most efficient to treat acne scars; natural peeling or laser. (I'm 28 years old).
Avatar f tn I need some ways if anyone knows how, to get rid of scars. Any scars. Like acne scars, strech marks, scab scars, any. Maybe to just make them less noticable. My sister keeps asking, maybe Ill have some answers? Please and Thank you.
Avatar m tn For the scars of acne, treatments with acids and chemical peels can be effective but can take a while for the skin to totally revert to its normal color. Microdermabrasion can also be done, but this might require several sessions. Skin resurfacing using lasers is also an option. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
