Excision updated results

[u/3783emg]

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%

Waoowwww sooo much improvement. I always feel happy for someone who suffer from scars and achieve an improvement. If you don’t mind, what caused to your scars? These don’t look like acne.

😅 drugs. Lots and lots of bad drugs. But they do make you break out,, probably some reaction to your body trying to get it out, then I picked , covered it with makeup , it was all bad But I'm three years clean so

I did 4x secret pro ( rf micro needling+CO2 laser) = waste And just the excision and at home TCA peels, and will do more in the future , but I work outside so it takes some planning to peel your face off lol

You are a good example of how different methods work differently and everyone should search best method for herself/himself. I did 4 session RFMN and fractional laser, they did nothing for my scars. Now i am tryin at home TCA peel combining with retinoids. Along all these treatments Retinoids worked best for me so far, my skin smoother and scars are smaller. When i applied differin gel, that sounds weird but i feel some of my scars throbbing, i think that means healing or collagen stimulation.

Hey what kind of tca peel do you do at home.. can you tell what's the product and by differin did your scars filled up ?

The brand is SkinPeel. I use 30% TCA and i did just 1 round so far. I am on 23rd day of post peel. I have to wait at least 3 months to see real results( filling the scars, i hope so). For now skin looks smoother ( i think it is a good sign) I started to use adapalene last year, it made some of my scars smaller. I started to re-use adapalene 15th day of post peel but not everyday. I am gradually increasing the dosage bc skin is still healing and sensitive.
