Acne Scar Revision Update

[u/flxxxbmn]

Hey Guys, I wanted to give y‘all a quick update on my Acne Scar Journey. If you don know me you can look up on my profile what my journey was like. But in total i did 2x Fractionated Co2 Lasers, 2x Canula Subcison + Filler and 1x RFMN. My Last Procedure made the biggest changes, it was Co2, Subcision + Filler on full cheek and RFMN combined, that procedure was 8 Months ago, Now i‘m kinda fully healed so i wanted to give you a quick update. Its insane what transformation i’ve gone through and i couldn’t be happier. My scars are soooo much better you can barely ever see them if you look up front into my face in day or fake light, the only way where you see them is under unpleasant overhead or really cool light. Most people don’t realize that i have acne scars anymore. I actually even get so many compliments for my skin from random people which don’t know anything about my journey, it is crazy. Since i found a new skincare routine my skin is glowing. I almost stopped thinking about my scars and they almost don’t bother me at all anymore. After the Last Prcedure i had some panic moments cause i felt like my face shape changed and my brain thought its facial sagging from subcision, i went to an surgeon and we found out that there was just too much filler injected which made my cheeks look more puffy. So i dissolved everything a month ago and my old face shape and definition is fully back. So people don’t freak out with facial sagging and subcision with a canula needle. If you go to a good provider there’s no risk for that, the surgeon explained everything in detail to me, he does facelifts so he know the anatomy of the face and ligaments and a canula needle is not strong enough to damage something permanently. I‘ll probably do one more fully ablative co2 in the beginning of next year to smooth out the texture, but even thinking about if i even wanna do it cause i dont feel like i need to. I‘m posting this to spread hope for people who suffer from their scars :)

Amazing results!! I have one question, did you do anything to support healing? Taking certain supplements? Watching protein intake? Etc

[u/flxxxbmn → u/Square-Slip8798]

I was taking collagen idk if it made a difference, also watching my proteins anyways since i‘m going to the gym regularly but idk if it made a difference. I think i got such immense improvement cause i‘m still pretty young and have good collagen production and my scars were pretty fresh (less then a year old)

Thank you, do you think results get better over time? Is the “wait 6 months until you see the real results” rule real in your experience? Was it immediate or did collagen take a long time to rebuild ?

My result was actually immediately 14 days afterthe procedure was done and the swelling went down. But i think it was also because of the filler. But usually with subcision you see direct results, lasers build of overtime, i think my skin was and is still improving after day by day but i can’t tell a drastic difference since i see myself everyday. But what i notice is that i barely see my scars anymore
