I would like to bring my personal experience to his topic.
I have had very serious acne in my 20's, wich left me with deep icepicks, rolling scars, boxscars and loss of fat.
I have had a great numer of treatments ;
at 28 : subcision (minor improvement on rolling scars)
at 33 : punch grafts (good improvement on icepicks) and C02 ( not any good, even made skin worse)
at 36 for 2 years : dermaroller
The dermaroller is the procedure wich made the biggest difference. All rolling scars are gone, and skin is in better health
Mind you, I had dermaroller treatments evey 2 months for 2 years, at Hammersmith hospital in the UK. So progress was slow, but still I could see visible improvement after the 3d time.
Now, even people who don't know I've had the treatments are amazed at how my skin has improved (and this is from guy buddies, so you know it has to be true for them to talk about it)
You have to know that every skin is deifferent, but in my case dermaroller has worked wonders compared to the very slim improvements from other procedures.
If you have had litle success with other procedures, I would advise you to look into it. Just remember to be patient, and if you do it yourself use a 1.5 mm DM and carefully follow instructions on disinfecting your work environment.
