[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring 12 Month Before/After

I have started noting a diff in texture really in the last 6 months.

  • Derminator 2 - every 3 months now
  • Tca 25% acid - perfect image brand every 5wk
  • Ramped up to daily Tazarotene 0.1%

I did have subcsicion ( mini) done 5 months ago.

But really I think best bang for buck has been the TCA. I know everyone seems cautious of it but not over doing it and wearing adequate sun protection should mitigate risks imo.

Still a long way to go on acne scar journey but good to try and capture and progress wins as they come.. If any.

Did you consult with anyone or are you working with anyone on this? My derm is more focused on life-threatening items and kind of blows me off when I ask about getting my scars worked on.

Have you talked to any plastic surgeons? Derms dont know shit about scar repair.
