I need advice on effective treatments for a small, shallow boxcar scar on the center of the tip of my nose. Microneedling, laser, subcision, tca cross, rf micro needling? I don't know what will work in this area, and I'd like advice on what would give the best bang for my buck.
I'm 35 year old female, I've battled with acne scars single my early 20's. I recently performed 4 sessions of microneedling with a 1mm dermaroller and dermastamp in some boxcars in the temple area but since the 2nd I've noticed widening of the scars. I'm really worry if this is gonna be permanent, so my question is, is what happened to me a frequent occurrence and if so should I continuing microneedling?
After TCA cross procedure I got bigger scars: -on a couple of boxcar scars that were close to each other now are one big scar (circled in blue). -there were two small ice pick scars (circled in yellow) and after the procedure I got a huge dent. Was better after scab fell off but now red and dented. -the scar circled in green was a super ice pick scar that is now a boxcar. I was recomended spot treatment of CO2 on these 3 scars. What is your professional recommendation and thoughts on this?
Have these scars that laser just doesn't fix I went to the dermatologist but offered microneedlings and I'm trying to avoid that method I see good reviews but a lot of bad I understand all skin types are different with results But TCA cross is what I'd like to go with Would that method be good to these ice and box scars?
I keep getting it on my face. My acne finally went away and I wanted to work on rolling and box scars. I am unable to get anything done for my scars because of the dermatitis. Also if it goes away will it be okay to get Microneedling? I am have skin of color.
I am planning on having a series of 6 microneedling sessions to improve my rolling and boxcar acne scars. I have done a lot of research on this, and I came across a very exciting article in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery. It says that the plastic surgeon administering the treatment performed microneedling and directly followed it with .05% tretinoin, but washed it off after 30 minutes. Is that safe to do?
In 2016 I had 6 microneedling treatments (PRP/stem cell), & took a year off. Starting again & have received conflicting information about frequency of treatments. Some providers have recommended having treatments every 3 wks & others say 4-6, does this depend on intensity of treatments? I have severe rolling scars, some boxcar, & no icepick scarring. Generally speaking, how often should one w/ this scarring type receive treatment?
I have completed 4 series of RF microneedling of 1 month interval each. But I couldn't see much difference. My doctor said that need one more treatment and it works on time . Will it cure of my acne scars? How long it will take to see result ? Or do I need to take any other treatment option?
I have scars (box, icepick, rolling) from previous acne & damage from previous treatments-. I've had micro needling, ipl laser hair removal, co2 (3 months ago), session nd yag qswitch, which i believe all made scarring worse, deeper and new indentations. I am feeling hopeless and about to have needling+prp as i've heard it helps with laser damage. i am also due for non ablative laser/subcision and filler in few months. i wanted to know if i can continue needling+prp after fillers injected?
