⚙️ RESURFACING PROCEDURES​


Target: Superficial to moderately deep scars (like rolling and boxcar scars)


  1. Laser Resurfacing
    • Ablative: CO₂, Er:YAG (removes top skin layers)
    • Non-ablative: Fraxel (stimulates collagen without removing layers)
  2. Chemical Peels
    • Medium to deep peels: TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), Phenol
    • Cross technique (TCA CROSS): Spot application for ice-pick scars
  3. Dermabrasion
    • Mechanical sanding of skin (more aggressive than microdermabrasion)
  4. Microdermabrasion
    • Mild mechanical exfoliation (best for surface texture, not deep scars)
  5. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
    • Stimulates collagen by making micro-injuries
    • Often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma)


🛠️ FILLERS & VOLUME RESTORATION​


Target: Atrophic/indented scars (rolling, boxcar)


  1. Dermal Fillers
    • Temporary: Hyaluronic acid (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane)
    • Long-lasting: Bellafill (PMMA), Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid)
  2. Autologous Fat Transfer
    • Fat taken from your body is injected under scars


🔪 SURGICAL OPTIONS​


Target: Deep or stubborn scars


  1. Subcision
    • Needle or cannula breaks the fibrous bands under a scar
  2. Punch Excision
    • Used for deep boxcar/ice-pick scars — scar is cut out and stitched
  3. Punch Elevation

  • Scarred base is lifted to skin level and sutured

  1. Skin Grafting

  • Often used after punch excision; fills deep scar holes


💡 OTHER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES​


Often combined with above methods for enhanced results


  1. Radiofrequency Microneedling

  • Combines microneedling with heat to stimulate deeper collagen (e.g., Morpheus8, Secret RF)

  1. Plasma Skin Resurfacing

  • Non-laser energy treatment that resurfaces skin

  1. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

  • Tightens skin and promotes collagen (less common for scars)

  1. LED Therapy (e.g., Red or Blue Light)

  • Mildly improves skin healing and inflammation (supportive, not primary)


🧪 TOPICAL AND INJECTABLE TREATMENTS​


Used with or before procedures


  1. Steroid Injections

  • For raised (hypertrophic or keloid) acne scars

  1. 5-FU or Bleomycin Injections

  • For stubborn keloid scars

  1. Topical Retinoids (Tretinoin, Adapalene)

  • Improves texture and boosts cell turnover

  1. Silicone Gel/Sheets

  • For flattening raised scars

Better if you visit a derm. My basic routine for acne is with spf50, moisturiser from la roche posay and tret from skinorac
 
Real diy solution that worked for me: TCA peel cycled w microneedling 1.5 depth and silicone scar tape.

Rep and thank me later nigger

TCA peel from platinum skincare website, tape from Amazon. Must be silicone.

Do your research on TCA peel strengths. I used 13%. It took me a while because I was doing it in the middle of the school year and you need 2 weeks between each TCA peel session.

Cycle between peel and microneedling weeks. Use tape everyday except when skin is scabbing from peel.

For the scars get EKLIEF Cream it's a pump just take one pump a day and then alternative with glycolic acid 6% cream. Use these two on alternative days. But i would like you to ask ur derma about these first.
 
Get a microneedling pen
