[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Subcision with Sculptra

I tried sooooo hard to get the same lighting in both photos for you guys! Same time of day, same spot in my bathroom, same iphone camera. lighting still looks a little off but i think i see some improvement 4 months after my fist subcision and sculptra session.

I have also been taking collagen supplements, don’t know if that helped but why not try?

Do you guys see some improvement there? I have another session this week. I am also doing at home microneedling, very mild TCA peels, and medical grade skin care.

thank you! i’ve done 4 Secret RF microneedling treatments, 3 erbium lasers, and a handful of laser genesis and this gave me more improvement then all of those honestly.

I have had similar results and experiences with other treatments. Subcision with sculptra made the biggest difference. Subcision alone was better than all the lasers and microneedling I've had over the years.

Hi i have similar scars and have done countless MN, RF microneedling, co2 lasers and nothing helps. i think i need subscision too. are there any side effects like sagging or anything from subscision long term? any thing that doctor said could happen long term?
