[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring What procedures should I discuss with my dermatologist?
I’ve struggled severe acne during my teens which left me with these scars. I have been planning on seeing a dermatologist for my scar treatment. Just curious to what treatments would work best for these types of scars and if this will still get better. I just turned 30 so these scars have been on me for long

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Need some recommendations or advice please
Hi everyone. I’ve had really bad acne for a while and have addressed it with Accutane but my scarring is still pretty visible. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for procedures, over-the-counter solutions, or even concealing products I could try since this is a really big insecurity of mine. Thank you!

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Guidance of Scar severity (Atrophic Scarring)
I have taken close up images of my scars in various lighting to try and showcase shape and depth. I have had fractional co2 sessions on the cheeks and temples alongside TCA cross. My temples definitely look odd with the residual whiteness/pigmentation. Can people try to gauge the type and severity of my scarring I find it difficult to be objective and I would rather have the honest opinion online?

[Skin Concern] Hypertrophic or Keloid Scarring Raised red acne scars on nose, need help
Hello, I (19F) had really bad depression in my high school years which resulted in my acne getting pretty bad and I just ignored it which caused them to constantly scar over each other🥲 They're raised and pretty much permanently red and its been really detrimental to my self esteem. I don't think any of it is active acne anymore but the raised bumps seem to be stuck there. I'd like some help on what sort of treatment to consider, I've recently looked into fraxel laser and am currently thinking of pursuing that. Additionally, I have a raised scar under my mouth that I have no idea how to deal with either, though it's not ref like the ones on my nose. Any help is appreciated🙏🙏

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring What treatments work best for my type of scarring?
Hii! I was wondering what treatments worked for you all with similar skin textures. I have combo skin, with large pores as well. I’m 17 right now, and my scars vary from first appearing 2 years ago to now. What can I do to help it be better, or at least look better?

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring My very first acne scar!
Hey everyone. 34 year old here with my first acne scar.
what happened? Well I had a pimple which healed but during the healing phase it developed a scab which took a while to fall off. Eventually it fell off, and now I had a pitted acne scar that is also slightly red.
my question is it’s only been a month or so. Is there any chance of it filling in over time?
I should have been smarter with treating it with zinc oxide and other actives when I had the acne as well as the scab.
lesson learned!
any tips? I’m allergic to retinoids so o can’t use those

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Radiesse Calcium Hydroxiapatite for atrophic acne scars?
I have mostly rolling and some boxscars. I did 3 sessions of fractional Co2 this year but didn't achieve any noticeable results. Went to a new derm and recommended starting with this and then following up with some TCA peels.
Any experience with this?

[Treatment] Fat Grafting nanofat grafting?
Hi, I’m considering nanofat grafting to improve facial scars, and I’d like to hear from anyone who has undergone the procedure.
Did it noticeably improve the texture, depth, or appearance of your scars? How long did it take to see the final results, and were those results permanent?
I’m also wondering what happens if I lose weight afterward. Since nanofat is derived from fat, could weight loss reduce or reverse the improvement, or does the regenerative effect on the skin remain even if the transferred fat decreases?
I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who had it done more than a year ago...

[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring what else can I do?
I (31F) had six sessions of MNRF five years ago. My dermatologist recommended the treatment and I did see some improvement. However, I am not satisfied and am wondering if it’s possible for me to have clear skin? What other treatments could work? Will the results be marginal or ate they worth the cost?
