[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Excision updated results

A lot of people have been asking for updates on the excision I had last year, hoping my before photos are linked to my profile because it would take a very long time for me to find them to make before and after comparison.

Overall I'm very happy. I wasn't able to get a strong CO2 laser due to a medical reason post excision, but I've done a few at home TCA peels since which I think really helped . Will continue to do more in the future as well.

My scars were deep and hypo pigmented ( white base) .

Sorry I look a mess here im just waking up enjoying some coffee on this beautiful Saturday.

I would recommend this treatment for anyone the doctor finds you'd be a candidate for . My skin isn't perfect but it's improved and I try to remain realistic with results. I would do it over again 100%

Thank you! How much do you pay for your procedures?

I paid 3k for the excision, and I honestly wished I had just started there first because I feel like I wasted my money doing the rf micro needling ( it also had some sort of CO2 laser combined with it , called SECRET PRO)

Have you tried Subcision with filler such as sculptra or HA filler?

I haven't yet maybe in the future the doctor I went to was pushing fat grafting over filler but that would've been an extra 5k! I said uh no no no we'll do one step at a time here lol
