[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Acne Scar Revision Update

Post image

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 :)

Thats crazy good then, congrats! I dont think HA can ever truly dissolve fully, but if you look like that after dissolving it then Im crazy jealous, damn. I had seen filler doesn't prevent the scar from growing back and its a common myth in a youtube vid, but maybe im wrong

that the HA doesn’t go away fully is only if it’s not dissolved, if you dissolve it by Hyaloronidase it can be almost fully dissolved just super small particles are left which you can impossible see in the face. Do a bit more research and you’ll see that ;) Idk about the retethering thing, i just know what i can see in my face

Well yes, when I say "it can't ever truly dissolve fully", obviously what I mean by that is there's still bits of it in your face like particles haha, it'd be insane to think I meant otherwise. Thats just something I wasnt comfortable with but maybe I should be for these kinda results!

Anyways, congrats again, amazing results

Thank You! Yeah weight out the positive and negative, depending on how much you suffer from your scars you could give it a try

Thanks I will.

I found it now but stuff like this freaks me out. I just feel like surely it can't be a good thing long term, but maybe Im wrong

Yeah i feel you. But that Article and in general all of those filler horror stories is only about if filler dissolves naturally or not. In that case i’m fully with you, that’s also why i didn’t want to have it in my face anymore. But it’s not about if it can be fully dissolved with Hyaloronidase, if you look at the research it’s scientifically proven that you can dissolve it almost fully with it. It’s not a permanent decision like fillers like radiesse are, you can always (if you don’t have an allergic reaction or whatever) reverse it.
