Subcision Works, This is Only After 1 Treatment

UPDATED FROM AcneScarGuy

2nd treat for Subcision! And I have added cupping demonstrations!

WORTH IT

Hi all, I have many requests on how I do the suction method after subcision so that the bonds will not reform. You can see the demo in the 2nd video. I really hope that this will be useful all of you.

Again, INFINI RF and LAST TREATMENT CANNOT TREAT rolling scars binded down. Do not go for laser treatment because this is the last mile treatment.

Hello sir. Wondering how your results are holding up? I have just had my 3rd Subcision and I'm going to combine this treatment with suctioning. I just read this treatment isn't usually permanent and so now I'm very concerned I spent all this money for no reason. I welcome your reply. I've watched your YouTube videos. :) Thanks for sharing your journey.
Treatment IS permanent if your scars are not attached back. So you need to use the suction device for a few week to pull the depressed scar up while your body heals naturally? The alternative is to put permanent fillers there like breast implants.
Hey how did your suction treatment go? Videos are not available so how can i watch them?

Hope Davin Lim can see this so that he can give further advice.

This is the first time working on an acne scar video, please ask the questions away and I shall do a video response. Probably with commentary.

ORIGINAL POST

Subcision Works, This is Only After 1 Treatment

Background, I went for infini RF and it did NOTHING for my deeply anchored tethered scar. The doctor I went to did not use angled lighting to look at my acne scar and when I suggested subcision, he brushed me aside saying it is invasive and laser is a well known treatment which works wonder. I am still sore because I spent quite a bit of money  and suffered for it.
Now, 1 year later, I am older and wiser, I went to a doctor whom I did a background check that he is open to the suggestion of subcision. But I ignored all the upselling of subcision + laser or special ointment for recovery. I asked for filler to prevent the scar from tethering back but he suggested some sculptra thingy which is very expensive. It will rebuild collagen but will NOT prevent the scar from being glued back. I opted for the 2nd best, which is some salmon dna thingy because there was an offer. It does not make sense if the scars get tethered down again but I have the trick up my sleeves after reading the forum here.
After the subcision, I went home and order a chinese cupping set for $10 and tested the suctioning on the left side of my face occasionally. It left me with extended bruising for more than a week but it prevented the scars from being glued back! You can see the left side has less depression.
There are a few downsides of subcision, because it left some lumps but I massaged them with cheap Vaseline everyday and they diminishes. I am assessing the situation and would probably do it once my face recovered. It is only a month since I last subcised. 
Attached is the before and after.
Do you think it would be a good idea to post my journey on Youtube?

Your results are incredible - congrats! Thank you for sharing with the community. Salmon DNA sounds fascinating - do you know any more detail to this?

Sadly this is unverified and the study on it has a small sample size, thus I will not dwell on the effectiveness of salmon dna. It originated from South Korea.
I wish I could find someone who does subscision or TCA cross. Only lasers, chemical peels and dermabrasion in my state.
wow major improvement.
so which doc you went this round? how many session you going through
I had similar as you, rolling and depressed scars..
youtube will be great!!
Plz do a update
how long does collagen take to grow again ? im guessing in 2 months it will look better.
