Hi all
I had chicken pox when I was 5 years old and it left me with these deep scars.
I was wondering if these could be treated and if anyone had similar scars and has undergone treatment, Please share your experiences.

I struggled with teenage acne and cystic adult acne. I’ve gotten multiple sessions of erbium laser, fraxel laser, and microneedling and I’ve only seen mild improvement. I’m thinking of getting subcision with sculptra for my acne scars but wasn’t sure if it will worth it. I was scared of getting it because I have a dimple and I don’t want to risk possibly getting rid of it. Any thoughts?

I've had mg first round of subsicion on these childhood chickenpox scars on my forehead and they didn't make much of a difference and the deem doesn't think it will as he doesn't think its tethered. There was some release tho but didn't make any difference overall. This derm doesn't do forehead filled but I will find someone who does. My other option is a excision which Js more permanent but I'm worried. However I found a doctor who's results are more than satisfactory imo but I'm still worried as I am a Fitzpatrick 4. The derm suggested co2 laser but said I couple maybe get 60 percenf imldovement which isn't satisfactory with co2s downtime and risk of hyperpigmentation

Hi Everyone, I suffered from severe acne and took accutane to make it better, but it left me with some acne scarring. I'm curious, what's the best way to go about fixing these acne scars? What treatments should I do and what actually works and will last?

Thank you so much for reading and offering advice. It means a lot to me and I really appreciate it. This is one of my biggest insecurities and it'd mean the world to me to get my acne scars treated and fixed.

Hi everyone. The skin on my face is very sun-damaged due to spending lots of time outdoors for most of my life. It is darker than the skin on my body - my body is likely a Fitzpatrick 2 and my face is a Fitzpatrick 3 possibly towards 4, I am not really sure - it has a light olive undertone but I burn easily and tan if try to do that gradually.

I also have some scarring from some bad electrolysis treatments done 10 years ago. They look like some deep wrinkles on both sides of my mouth. I am considering CO2 resurfacing (likely fully ablative). They appear similar to acne scars like some pitted small areas.

Am I a good candidate for that? Would it be advisable to only do the area around my mouth where the scars are located?

Also, can this treatment result in my facial skin reverting back to my natural pigment colour? I am mainly interested in fading my scarring but removing the sun damage would be a bonus as I look weird in dresses with my neck and arms being much lighter than my face. Thank you very much for any advice.

Hi everyone. I wanted to post an update about my situation.

Unfortunately, the filler I had placed in my nose wasn’t enough. It also migrated toward the sides of my nose, while the indentation itself is still there. The scar is only 47 days old, so I’m trying not to panic or rush into anything, but mentally I’m really struggling. I cry a lot and I can barely bring myself to go outside.

The area has also developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I’m trying to reassure myself that this is a normal part of the healing process, especially since I rarely go outside and, when I do, I always wear sunscreen.
I’ve spoken with several doctors in my country, and every single one of them has told me to wait at least another six months. I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to be patient. There is still a very noticeable indentation. The good news is that the donut-shaped swelling around it has finally gone down, but the center is still depressed, which makes me worry that it’s becoming atrophic.

One thing I found interesting is that about 10–15 days ago, when I pressed on the area, it felt like there was only a very thin layer of tissue over it. Now it actually feels thicker, so I’m hoping that means some healing is still taking place.
In another 2–3 months, once the sun is less intense, I’m planning to find a highly experienced doctor and try fractional laser treatment. Several doctors mentioned that it’s one of the treatment options. One of them told me that if it’s going to help, I should start seeing results by the second or third session. If there’s no improvement by then, there’s probably no point in continuing, and it would make more sense to start considering surgical options instead. I think it’s worth giving the laser a chance before moving on to anything more invasive.
That’s where I am right now. I don’t really know what else to do. I guess all I can do is wait and hope that time helps.

Is there anything you would recommend for me during this process?

Can anyone help on information on co2 laser is it worth it for deep acne scars
