Subscison for Rolling Scars Done Today - Kansas City, MO

Yes. The bruising will go away. It faded within a couple of days for some. Others it took about a week and a half. The swelling lasted for a couple of weeks and then the scars laid back down. Other people have been able to notice the improvement, but do know its not a quick fix and depending on how deep your scars are, multiple sessions are often needed. I have my second session August 1st. This time, I scheduled it on a Thursday so I have 3 days for the bruising to go down. You could wear make up the next day. I will post updated photos soon.

My dermatologist had told me I would need at least 4 treatments to see significant improvement with Fraxel. Are you scheduled for more Fraxel's? On acne.org boards, Ive seen people post that some acne scars dont respond well to lasers - those that are bound down, like rolling scars - and subscison is need to lift up the scar. I have my first appointment for subscison April 22nd, I believe. I will need 3 visits to get the best results. After I go through that process, I will revisit fraxel as the next step. The lady tried to sell me on fraxel right away, but thanks to realself and acne.org I was well informed and we are going down the surgical route first.My dermatologist charges $90 per scar, $500 for 10 or more. If you arent familar with subscision, go to acne.org and search for it to see if you might think that would be a viable option for you.

I am hoping you will post when you are at the 6 month mark. I had a consultation with a dermasurgeon on Wednesday that said I would need at least 4 treatments and it takes at least 6 months to see improvement on the acne scarring since of the remodeling going on deep under the skin.

Did you have the procedure? I have the same issues you describe with my skin and the resulting embarassment from having these scars on my face.

Is your skin still really pink, like a sunburn? The more I learn about the procedure, the more I want to get it, but I am concerned about the down time. I can deal with looking a bit flushed after applying make up, but I work for a large company and would be embarassed about going into the office looking very pink and obvious that I had something done. Im looking forward to your updates and following your progress.
