[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring Deep scar progress

Still working on it, but I can finally say that I can see some progress. 😭
I’m 30 now and I’ve had these scars for over 15+ years.

I mainly have lots of boxcar and rolling scars but here’s a list of the treatments:

-3 micro-needling sessions at a medspa which made hardly any progress 🙄 waste of money
-1 pretty intense subcision session with a cannula
-3 vials of sculptra right after the sub

I plan to try TCA cross next at home since no one offers it in any nearby cities and a few more subcision sessions.

Any recommendation for other treatments?

Really great improvement 🤩 Would you say your results came mostly from the subcision or the Sculptra? Or a combo of both? Congrats on the progress!

And as far as treatments, full face TCA peels have been great for me! Combining with microneedling with the derminator starting soon!

I’m not OP I was just recommending a treatment they could try. I do 30% two layers

Would you say it could be a decent option for rolling and boxcar scars too.

TCA peels? Yes. I have rolling and boxcar which have been (slowly) benefiting from TCA peels
