I posted a picture of what my face looked like at the 2 month mark this week and honestly the results where very little to none. At the 3 month mark I can see changes in the scars, I'm pretty sure I plan to do another treatment in the future. It's just difficult to take an entire week from my busy life to just sit at home as you can tell the peeling is not something you want to go outside with.

2 Months Since Treatment Post
E_11August 13, 2016
I've waited 2 month in this picture down below to post a review so it could be as real as possible, for those considering to go under similar treatments. At this point for the price, and approach I expected way better results some of the deepness subsided but honestly to few. It might need an additional touch up but figured this first approach would have rid most of the scarring on my cheeks. What are your thoughts?

So sorry but I do not see much improvement. How the subcision was performed? With niddle or with the wire? Or with the cannula? Seems like the result varies because of the method.

I see about 20% improvement have heard of another guy dragz on here who also got this procedure he had rolling scars. His rolling scars diminished and deeper boxcar maybe another round or two will help!! don't give up also have you checked out a monheit peel or maybe phenol peel? I've seen some good results with that on here by some reviewers under "tca peel worth it"

Thank you for your input, I have seen the results of Dragz and was impressed one of the many reason I chose the same doctor. I feel he experienced the same results like I did the first time around and he did at least 3 more treatments. It can be time consuming and cost effective to have to do 3, I some how expected through the Doctor's initial consultation that most of the scaring would be taken care of in the procedure and he mentioned needing a touch up depending on what I thought. He's a good doctor but I want to explore some of the peels you mentioned, I have not tried any of them. Also I appreciate the encouragement through this process!

Your very welcome!!! I know how hard it is too find solutions and decide on your own. Here's a link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4411592/idk if it's familiar but it's helping me to decide to do something like strong chemical peels as a maintenance instead of going all or nothing and hacking it to one procedure or a one time thing... but In reality that's just my opinion where yeh some people get great results with just one but a regimen of maybe peels and laser or something will have to be part of a deal to ourselves ... to make a commitment even though it feels overwhelming when things don't turn out the first time around. I wish you luck in pursuing more options and hope you find them!!! California is such a great location and I'm sure there will be some more options maybe if not this doctor but another!!

I see a difference, don't know if you have make up on the after pics but they look shallower. I'm hoping the Recosma comes to the US this or next year. It's only in Europe right now but people with scars are giving it good reviews so I'm saving up for that. Right now just having filler and will do some needling when it gets colder. I hear micro droplets are good but their permanent. That's why I want the recosma check it out before spending money on other treatments. I had sculptra but after reading about it I don't want to get it anymore.

Thank your for sharing your thoughts on my process, I know some people use the fillers, but like you said it's better to invest in more permeant results ,keep me posted if the Recosma comes to the states!

New Skin Showing Day2 & 3
E_11May 16, 2016
I have been religiously good about washing and layering ointment... and the new skin coming in is looking really nice!! I can already notice where my skin was raised using the combo treatment Dr.R preformed. Normally where I could see the box scars have been corrected wonderfully.
