I Treated MOST Of My Acne Scars

[Deleted member 23558]

0.5mm-1mm.

bro any good dermastamp guide on yt?

 

[Zain202]

Hydra-Pen H3, it caps at 1mm but instead you can buy a Dr.Pen M8 cause it will go deeper.
Baby-Botox (serum) will also be a good substitute if you’re just targeting pore size.

I second for baby botox too

usually the generic approach is putting the needle around the cheekbone and sawing at the tissue in the whole cheek area.
I essentially did the same but instead entering at the cheekbone area, i did the scars individually

I will be performing the subcision myself too, dont trust the jew doctor. How far away from the scar did you inject the needle to cut the tethers? As in green, yellow or orange line? Or maybe further or closer? Assume the distance beetween the first tether from the right and injection site of green needle is 5mm

or maybe you could make a new thread if you want and i will ask questions there if u want to rep farm

Hey everyone, you all probably know me either by my melasyl thread or PN thread. (or just never heard of me).
im here now to inform with updates with my acne and acne scar journey.

BACKGROUND:
​

So for reference this was my skin:

Well, it was after I got my acne cleared. When I had acne I didn’t really take photos of my self, so this is the best I can provide:

You can barely see anything, but it was bad to the point I was made fun of it everyday.

HOW I FIXED IT:
​

I fixed my diet, took probiotics and I got no response, so I knew it wasn’t cause of my diet or gut health.
I did skincare, did get positive response but it came back even worse.
Went deeper into the rabbit hole of skin and formulated a skincare routine for acne-prone skin, got in contact with a dermatologist, got prescribed 0.05 Tretinoin and then I asked for 5mg Isotretinoin. And guess what? it completely cleared my skin, only type of lesions I get are inflamed lesions due to ingrown hairs from my beard hairs (i swear i’m this close booking a laser appointment).

After that, I was left with acne scarring, and it was bad. extremely bad, I had tissue loss and it was a mix of every scarring possible. My dermatologist said that they can start treatment with CO2 laser on June which is extremely close to graduation so either I skip out or cope.
But, this is when I got into DIYing treatments.
I bought myself a microneedling device, got syringes, numbing cream and a pdrn based serum.
I microneedled 3 times with a pdrn serum, 1mm spaced out every week.
Then I did 2 sessions of mesotherapy with the PDRN serum where I directly injected under the scar.
I also did PDO mono threads to pull the scars and my lips to widen them via stretching.

this was during mesotherapy, pretty gross cause it raises the skin and forms a bump.

View attachment 2909043
this was during microneedling, I probably bled a lot cause I drank a energy drink and then took ibuprofen WHICH YOU SHOULDN’T DO, especially caffeine which can inhibit enzymes and anti-oxidants needed for collagen 1 formation (the collagen responsible for wound healing).

View attachment 2909047
I took this 3 days after microneedling, second session. I literally thought I was dreaming because of the substantial difference. (my face is red cause I swam that day and took a hot shower afterwards).
You can clearly see some scars are gone and some have been nicely filled in.
After I did one more session and then did 2 sessions of mesotherapy, all done by my self.


Now, this is what you all have been waiting for, my skin now.

If you think i’m frauding or whatever, I posted a tiktok video where it shows me in motion.
I’ll link it here…



I still have some little icepick scars which I will be doing TCA peels for as it can reach deep into those type of scars and i still will be doing CO2 laser since my dermatologist said that if the nose is treated it can tighten pores which can visibly make the nose smaller.
I instantly said yes as my nose is pretty large so this is a must for me.

Thank you for reading! (Hopefully the format is somewhat readable ).

Updates? What was your experience with the pdrn serum and did u do the subcision already?

The guy doesn't use org anymore but i can tell him you have some questions

 

[piec]

Updates? What was your experience with the pdrn serum

i cant really tell you exactly because i tried a bunch of different shit and different needling techiniques (which seemed to matter the most)

did u do the subcision already?

currently i needled the fuck out of my face, once i recover i will probably perform the subcision which will be ~ 01.08

I also did PDO mono threads to pull the scars

how do you know what actually contributed since you did so many things?

Great post btw

also it annoys me how the clinic tells you that microneedling can only be done once a month max, when i see people do it once a week fine and now seeing you do it 3x a week.

bump on this 300 iq thread

@AySab which size do you recommend for the insulin syringe when doing DIY subcision?

 

[notalive]

What gauge needle did you use for DIY subcision? If it's an insulin syringe, then like 31G?
Do you feel like the Rejuran S helped the most?
Thanks in advance!

How important was the micro needling and how long did this process take? Right now I’m on oral TXA and topical Taz and it’s helped a good amount but obviously I’d like to improve further.

I tried 2 sessions of IPL, got decent results but might switch to microneedling.

So far you've done nothing super effective for pitted scars except maybe Taz. IPL is for pigmentation.

Yes I have PIH not pitted. The texture is fine. Honestly the oral TXA might’ve been the best I’ve seen good results so far. Taz I haven’t been on long enough to tell but it’s done something compared to tret which did nothing for me. I heard IPL would work if I did like 6 sessions but that’s too much time for me. I got some results from that but not enough to make it worth it. I think microneedling will be better for me

If it's just PIH, then try hydroquinone cream. PIH are not scars btw

I tried hydroquinone a year ago and it didn’t do shit for me. I thought PIH was a type of acne scar but I’ve had this for so long I don’t even remember if it’s from a breakout tbh. I’m at least on the right path now finally. I don’t even get acne anymore besides the rare chin pimple which is hormonal.

Try the topicals for longer. If still no results, then get more IPL or PDL (aka VBeam)

Yeah I’m doing the taz txa duo for at least another 3 months. Shits been working good so far and with bb cream it’s basically invisible
