Acne scar awareness month needs to be a thing

Could double as suicide awareness month tbh. Literally strips away all your confidence and makes you afraid to look into the mirror because of how grotesque your reflection is. Top 10 most subhuman traits OAT.

@aids you mentioned something a while back about a product that did your scars well, what was it? Or am I misremembering something you said.

What type of scarring?
I had minor atrophic scarring (rolling scars) so I did microneedling. Two sessions of 1.75mm and 2.25mm at a local clinic was enough to completely get rid of it. You'll be red for a few days but the collagen response over the weeks subsequent to the redness, your skin will look better than ever.

They're hyperpigmentation scars from what I can tell, like light pink dots all over my face, though in harsh lighting I can see small indents. I went on a prescription only topical called Cabtreo in July which completely cleared up the acne and inflammation itself, but the scars will not go away. I was considering a laser treatment at first but I'm going to have to look into this. What was the price?

My microneedling was $350/session, but realistically, you can DIY it for far cheaper, I just wasn't aware at the time.
However, I'm going into the same clinic for Fraxis tomorrow, so if you want, send me any photos you might have and I can ask what the lady who owns the place and is treating me recommends, she's actually very knowledgeable.
From what you've said though, I'd guess that your best bet is an ndYAG Q-Switch laser and some sort of LED therapy.

Sure, you can send here or in PM, I just need to see photos of the skin, not your face.

I could relate with this I have had post inflammatory erythema all over my face very dense in the cheek area for 5 fricking years. lucky for me it's finally starting to fade and all I needed to do was hop on Accutane. I suffered all these years with it and avoided Accutane because it was an issue with dilated or damaged blood vessels. Little did I know the weekly break outs I was getting were postponing the P.I.E. Apparently the inflammation from the acne was prolonging and restarting my recovery. To be more specific my acne break outs were a cycle they would go away in a week and then id get a new break out over and over and over for years. However lucky from me these new break outs weren't always giving me new P.I.E just prolonging my old pie. ( now give me pity rep )
