I am a 24-year old female. I use to have bad cystic acne and now I suffer from deep pitted scars and enlarged pores. I've tried microneedling, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and IPL photo treatments for months at a time but nothing helps. I'm now looking into a more aggressive approach! Fraxel? Surgery?
I believe I have ice pick scarring or large pores I am not to sure. I have been to doctors and spa. I did get a Fraxel treatment 1 month ago but it didnt make a difference at all. Also it ledt to much downtime was almost 3 days. I heard about chemical peels would be good for my scars to? I do also get breakouts so I might go on minocycline. Please look at my photos and let me know what would be best.
I have a collagen syndrome (the velvet skin and cigarette paper scar healing, sometimes atrophic scarring, but not the elasticity) and I also have ice pick scars and texture on my chin. I am wondering what I can do to treat? I am looking for a provider to help me improve my scars.
I've had these holes on the left cheek area for many years due to past acne. I tried to use lighting that gives the best visual of the scarring as it tends to look better in other lighting. I've been told in person that the affected area consists of very shallow icepick scars and/or scarred pores. The area is about half the length of my index finger. What would work best for this - fraxel or microneedling with PRP?
Fraxel restore done yesterday. 34 year old woman with light indented surgical and ice pick scaring of the nose. Doctor said the laser was on a high setting to address scaring. Only products applied were sunblock and vitamin E & C serum the doctor sold me. Will the broken vessel be permenant?
