Asked By:neversatisfiedinusa in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, A 37 year old, Indian/ Asian oily skin, male have have had scars from popping them in my teens. These are deep scars and I absolutely do not like them. Have tried lasers, co2, TCA cross, other peels, and micro dermabrasion before, they gave me false illusions, make my scars disappear for a few days but the scars come back after few weeks. I am looking for a permanent solution so doctors can you help guide me in the right direction? Thank you for your time!
