I agree with you. Doctors keep saying, and you believe in your own. You can't get rid of scars, you can make them less noticeable, it took me several years to finally grasp this phrase. All these procedures, they improve the appearance, but they don't get rid of. The result is temporary, as they say skin "has memory" and will return back after time. The doctor discourages from the laser, only did TCA. Wanted to do injections with gl. acid, but a crisis came.

Thank you!!!

Most likely, after reading the post, I'll refuse the laser. Thanks!!!!

Thank you very much! Very relevant information!

Thank you for your candour.

Thank you, peelings have helped me. Although, it took several courses over a few years. I did them with acids, out of sheer laziness. The beautician herself was surprised by the effect. It's better to gradually improve the skin, rather than sanding it. My skin wouldn't have been able to handle such stress as a laser.

Typo, Holy Land

+1 to your karma

Author, thank you, could you please tell me, how did you cure your spots? after ok

I try to avoid procedures that make the face go red. I've had a few courses of microdermabrasion. Moreover, I was able to go to work the next day, and there was no redness. Nitrogen massage. Photo rejuvenation. My face is smooth. No pores, no scars.

I had Fraxel done and although there were zero results for the scars, what a skin tone I had! Simply chic! Without makeup, without Photoshop - I was radiating that very youthfulness that they love to tout in advertisements. Fine wrinkles disappeared, especially on the forehead. But alas, pores and scars did not smooth out at all.

I recently started a topic here about facial skin, also after such procedures. They promised that after 3-4 procedures I would be a beauty. Results 0, on the contrary, the skin became worse and more capricious. Now it breaks out from everything. At first, I thought maybe my skin is like that, my sister has the same thing! And it heals very badly, it used to heal much faster.

Author, have you tried photodynamic therapy? My sister-in-law, who's a beautician, was telling me it's the best thing out there, painless, no scars, and no after-effects. I'd like to know your opinion?

Thank you for the review, I too am struggling with this problem, and there's a lot of advertising.

Hello, girls! Would you believe it, I've managed to catch chickenpox at the age of 30. Why couldn't I have had it like normal people when I was a child, but no, that's just me 😊 always different from everyone else! As a result, I've ended up picking at one of the spots on my cheek and it's turned into a scar. I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing has worked. Any advice?

For several years, I too struggled with the aftermath of acne! Cicatrix cream helped me remove the scars, and the redness also disappeared. I applied this cream to my face twice a day, for about 2.5 months. The effect was excellent, I did not expect at all that anything would help me anymore. My face became as smooth as it used to be. I recommend Cicatrix.

Tosche cut the dog with a CO2 laser.

I'm 48. I've been battling scars for over 10 years. Scars from herpes and cysts. Acne. Nothing helped. I managed to improve some scars. I've tried all possible methods. Except one - deep ablative CO2 resurfacing. And even then, doctors promise a maximum of 30-50% improvement depending on the scar. Before doing laser, subcision is needed. To cut the tissue under the scar. 1-3 times. To lift the bottom of the pits. Some do it with filler, some without. I saw no difference. After which many procedures are done directly on the scars - erbium laser around the edges and CO2 superficial ablation directly - this is done together. After which deep CO2 ablation. I did the edges 3 times and it smoothed the scar relief, the edges spread and the transition to the middle is smooth. It's the edges that cast a shadow and make the scar so visible. I'll repeat the edges again. I can't decide on deep ablation. Because the side effects (red skin for up to a year, the epidermis is removed... rehabilitation is very long... I'm thinking about zonal grinding., to do the forehead separately, the cheeks separately... but this grinding is done under general anaesthesia, otherwise you won't stand it... that's how it is... A lot of time, money, tough rehabilitations.. the result is minimal.. and my scars are of medium severity local location, only 3 really deep. After inflammation, the body heals the lesion without thinking about the appearance, collagen fibres overlap inside. The task is to break them and heal anew to improve the appearance of the scar. But you can't remove it - because an atrophic scar is minus tissue.. you can try to excise, but I didn't see good results because you are changing one scar pit for another scar line.., this can work on individual scars no more than 3 mm in diameter. Here they wrote about collagen injections. Like any filler, this is a temporary solution. At first, it seems to improve. After a year, everything returns to the starting point after any filler, including fat. The problem of scars is the most complex in dermatocosmetology and there are practically no specialists who deal with it.

In this regard, the departure from Mediterraneum Nostrum is very good, I had terrible skin after acne... everything like yours, after cream No. 8 I didn't recognise my own face.
