Minor Acne Scars
DS2018February 20, 2018
WORTH IT$1,000
Session 1 Scheduled for tomorrow morning! I’ve had skinpen and light peels in the past but hoping three new sessions of PRP will clear it all up! Here is a before photo, I’ll post more tomorrow after my treatment. Little nervous about the drawing blood part! After pics will take a few days but plan to post through out all three treatments

Day of...Sculptra not PRP
DS2018February 22, 2018
It turns out that Sculptra can be rubbed on the face for better results vs. PRP. My esthetician suggested this over the blood plasma and I said yes. So we went forward with the skin pen which did not hurt at all, only slightly on the forehead and instead of getting my blood drawn she rubbed sculptra over the micro needing tracts. Sculptra is typically injected, but apparently this is a new fad and I actually like the results so far! I was told to leave the sculptra on the face for the rest of the day which wasn’t a problem at all. You can see in the pics I was slightly puffy with little bit of redness. Skin was incredibly soft that night. She spot treated the scars with .2mm.

Thank you so much for sharing! What a brilliant use of Sculptra! :)
I had some acne scars similar to yours. I had tremendous results with the TCA cross method. I actually ordered dichloroacetic acid from a chemical company and did it myself. There are few dermatologists who are privy to this method. It takes a good week for it to heal. I wish I had a before and after pic. I had a pit on the side of my nose that I’d fill with makeup. It is now a normal sized pore. You’ll have drastic results after one treatment, but you make need a second treatment on some areas.
Thanks again for the pics!
