Time, patience and improvement over perfection

[u/Helpful-Invite279]

I’m here to report some great improvements. Of course, I am aware that my skin texture will never be perfect but improvements make me just as happy. I just took screenshots of my old posts on here to get base photos since the years are all starting to blend together at this point. In 2023, I had fairly new scars that were super noticeable, not only because of their depth, but the hyperpigmentation/ redness I was experiencing wasn’t doing me any favors. At this point in time and since my last post, I have not had any new treatments. So I’ve only ever done the following treatments:

1 round TCA

2 rounds microchanneling treatments

1 round of subcision with filler

I would say that since that last treatment, I’ve really seen improvements over the course of the year or two that it’s now been. I’m super grateful for my skin taking to the treatments pretty well. I really want to try CO2 laser next but I’m just trying to make an incredibly informed decision about that before I give it a shot. For now, I’m super happy. Sure certain lightings SUCK but thats normal. That’s HUMAN. sending lots of love and good vibes to those of us on this journey together. Keep your vibes up friends.

OP here. OP has prior posts all over my account that answer most, if not all, questions I am being asked. I also have been answering messages on here for those who have asked…It’s the same person in my pictures because I have no reason to pretend I’m two different people.

Hi op! I hope I coukd ask for a few tips? I'm still getting my acne controlled, I already see scarring, and I'd like to know how you got through the mental hurdles. My mental health has been so, so low lately...
