PLEASE READ - VERY HELPFUL.ACNE SCARS CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED WITH THE RIGHT TREATMENT AND PHYSICIAN!PrefaceAfter lurking on this sub a while I have noticed many of you refer to PIE - post inflammatory erythema (or just redness for short) as scarring. It is also apparent that there isn't much knowledge on treating scarring on this subreddit either, with many people giving misleading information suggesting lasers and 'fraxel' - an exceptionally outdated laser - without having any actual understanding of treatment protocol for scar type. Lasers are a last step in the long journey of acne scar revision.Guide.Scar types.BoxcarIcepickRollingEach scar type is treated differently, there is no one treatment fits all, a variety of treatment modalities must be used to achieve optimal results. Acne scar treatment is a marathon, not a sprint, many treat over 2 or 3 years and will only achieve 50% improvement, that is the sad reality. Once you have acne scars you simply aren't going to have glass smooth skin like you once did. Sorry.Treatment order is just as imporant as the treatments you are actually getting, getting treatments done in the wrong order can actually lead to worseing of scarring, e.g lasering face first can lead to fat loss... fun fact.SCARRING TREATMENTS:#1 SUBCISION - this involves severing the fibrotic bands that hold the acne scars down and worsens the depression, a needle is inserted under the skin (cannula) to sever the bans, the scar raises and improves the appearance. Several sessions are needed, best done with filler such as HA Filler, or Sculptra. Filler stops the scar bands from re-tethering after the procedure. Results are permanent. Subcision also stimulates♦ Subcision is used for all scar types but works especially well for rolling acne scars.#2 TCA Cross - TCA is an acid. The acid is applied to a needle head or toothpick and placed within a boxcar or icepick scar. This creates a controlled injury and as you heal your own collagen is stimulated and it reduced the depth of the scar. Initially the scar can widen - though Phenol cross doesn't do this, see Dr. Rullan. Several treatments needed.♦ Excellent for icepick and boxcar scars.#3 RF Microneedling - much like microneedling however, the needles are insulated and deliver heat into the skin which stimulates collagen significantly more than traditional microneedling. It also doesn't result in microtears in the skin.♦ Excellent for ALL scar types#4 Fully ablative laser or deep peel - to finish off. This is done at the very end of the treatment plan for texture - you don't pave a road before filling in potholes.LOADS OF SCARRING INFO AND HELP!
