I came across a video of this girl who had her pitted scars removed by having a major major chemical peel. They actually have to put you under sedation that’s how intense it is. Only certain doctors do this and it’s not something that any doctor can do. This will remove the scars. You will look scary for awhile bc there’s a full face of burnt skin that stays on your face until the doctor removed it. If you search on KZfaq u will find them.

Phenol Peel.

Same. Same. Same.

What abt the scar u got from chemical peel

I don't want it darken after complete healing what to use to avoid the darkening

I feel you :(

Absolutely! the acne and its marks come and go. They can be hidden with makeup. But the scarring is what made me sooo insecure

@@notsooxtreme1 For sure. I feel like no one warned me about acne scars. It was devastating (still is) for me when I realized I had them. It helps to know I'm not alone, but it just really makes me sad for all of us; as if we haven't suffered enough with acne.

100%

@@notsooxtreme1 what did u do

True, i used to jump from dermatologist to dermatologist before when I was a teen. I wish they recognized how cystic my acne was and just gave me accutane earlier instead of their lotions and other stuff

Me too

Same here .. I tried everything because I heard that it can be cured without medicine .. it’s a huge lie .. my face is ruined because of that ..

😢I know I now look like a monster

Now I look like Deadpool

@chandamamakathalu9489hi i tried microneedling.. there is a very little improvement. I still have visible scars. Now im using retinoid. Did you find retinoid helpful for scarring. Please let me know your thoughts on retinoid

4 is radiofrequency microneedling

​@chandamamakathalu9489Does Accutane help treat scars?

​@chandamamakathalu9489hi bro, do you see any improvements with tretinoin and chemical peels from the ordinary? I currently suffered from box and rolling scars. Do you think using retinol can improve the scars as well?

How much result you got from sunscion? And it was with filler?​@chandamamakathalu9489

I personally feel that topical treatments are a waste of time. Save your money and invest in chemical peels and laser treatments.

Did you do Fractional co2 or?

@@Uncharted95 Fractional, yes. Never ever lose hope. good luck

@@mv848 That's great! I have very mild scarring but considering TCA cross for the small ice picks I have and Co2 to smooth out things. I'm just nervous of the fractional

@@Uncharted95 Small ice pick: TCA Cross (35% TCA applied with a toothpick into the depression). That particular concentration is safe and should not lead to discoloration. CO2 Ellman Cortex: 22w 2ms with the density @65 - really safe. I needed a couple of treatments though. Scars *can* completely go away do not let anyone tell you they cannot. It takes a year and a half to have all the treatments needed, for they need to be six weeks apart from one another + ideally not to be done during summer months. Be vocal and try to find a caring dermatologist.

How is the trentinojn treating the acne scars??? Are they gone???

same here I find I pick during moments of anxiety and stress as a way to check out and hyper focus on one thing

Same, i picked at my skin a lot while had my anxious depression episode - broke out a lot due to medication. Now i'm tying to get rid of those scars and discoloration

What procedures you'd recommend for the heeling of these scars if you have rosacea?

I just saw your comment, I hope your doing better, I pick scabs over and over when stressed, I don’t cause it myself, but if I accidentally get a scab I pick and pick to never let it heal properly. So I understand it, and I noticed it was worse with COVID, and then after Jan 6th and so much brutality with our police force and school shooting’s, 😢 Anyway I noticed my anxiety is through the roof. I started to take supplements, melatonin, L-Theanine, and Saint John Wart has helped me tremendously, I also keep 2 Valerian, Chamomile, Ylang ylang, and of course lavender, essential oil that I keep on my nightstand while I sleep, the moister from the essential oil mist machine truly helps, and you can easily change the essential oils by dumping out the water and then adding uplifting scents like Lemon Balm, Orange essential oils as well help motivate me, and up lift my mood during the day. Another thing I’ve implemented to help distress myself from picking at my scars is I keep Amethyst Crystals near by me when I sleep, on my night stands and I have a big Amethyst on my coffee table in our tv room, it has also helped me with my anxiety as well… Now of course please speak with your doctor before taking any supplements but I wanted to share this with you. Another good point is when buying supplements and essential oils try to only buy USDA Grade, when you see the USDA Sticker it means that it’s passed the test for using the best products that aren’t chemicals and they are basically guaranteeing that nothing harmful is used. Meaning it’s pure and natural. Your in my prays 🙏 and I totally get it. Doesn’t seem like things are getting any better, so sending you love ❤️ and light, Okay I hope this helps you, and you see it I know you comment is 7 months old, but I wanted to share with some things that have greatly reduced my picking habits.

Same

Alhamdulillah!

I agree with you! I am amazed with how our bodies are so smart and heal itself

our skin is much smarter than us :D

I am in no way amazed at those ugly scars.

Idk I think it’s amazing. Vanity aside. When you consider the wounds they started as, it’s amazing to see the fusion of those regenerated skin cells after all they’ve been through! Each scar represents a different consequence of some event that happened during your organic life and each one is like a tiny time capsule symbolizing who you were and where your mind was at that particular moment. I just find it amazing to know how fragile and delicate we are, especially because we’re also extremely adaptable at the same time and our bodies just refuse to let us get hurt without at least fighting to recover from that injury at any cost. I think the same can be said about the psyche, metaphorically of course. Obviously most of us would choose to retain our most pristine skin if we had the option. Of course we would. But whether we like it or not, all scars, by definition, are *permanent.* Well actually, I guess the “dictionary definition” of the world ‘scar’ is more like: *The final imprint that remains wherever some form of damage has fully healed with significant resilience.* Which I think is just a beautiful fact of human nature

This is an old comment but keep in mind that extremely superficial textural irregularities can be remedied with tretinoin but anything more deeper requires in-office treatments like microneedling or lasers. I don’t think the derms were trying to be greedy. The reality is that acne scarring usually needs something heavy duty to treat - which is why it’s important to treat acne as soon as possible.

💙

You’re right about that.. I’ve suffered from this most of my life.

thanks for watching

glad to hear things improved

how long did this take? :)

I just started it after 25 years of cystic acne... My acne has cleared and I'm delighted to learn it may help my scars! Thanks.

@Rita Baglin when I started to use differin, yes my acnes kinda get worsed at first 2 weeks but I kept using and I can say it is really helpful for acne

@Rita Baglin defo consult a dermatologist so! And good luck.

Glad it was helpful!

thanks for watching

You are right ,I am from bangladesh and CeraVe and inky list and some drugstore brands are pricey here.so knowing about ingredients helps

@@DrDrayzday Hi Dr. Can TCA Cross be done on huge pores (not scars)?

@@DrDrayzday ..can we get differin in India?.

Please always type God with G capital

Thank you! You too!

Also, these are my favorite types of videos. Thank you!

Did I miss an update on Dr D’s mom? I hope she is well!!

What were the cons you experienced?

Hey

I have one pitted scar on my right cheek. I got it when i had chicken pox few years ago. My friend thought it would be funny if she popped my blister using 50 cent coin. It was so painful. 8 years had past, and i regret it so much that i wasn't punch her till she broke her nose for giving me that permanent scar.

Pitted scars caused by chickenpox aren't really as ugly as when it's causes by acne. I have both of them.

I have one caused by chicken pox too. On my forehead. I’m considering getting rid of it, but it is just one.

@@SyazanaSaad I have a recently formed chicken pox pit on my left cheek. It looks brown arround the edges. I want to do something about that can u please suggest me some tips?

Glad to hear that you've noticed improvements. Hope you continue with your regime & it is effective for you!

Hi are u still using differin?? And how old your acne marks were like?

​@Daniel Fitt what is it , and does it actually work?

They don’t tell people about this

What!! go to a doctor, a generalist ( doesn't have to be a dermatologist ) one and ask for adapalene, he will prescribe it to you. that's what I did and adapalene is very available in France you only need the prescription. hope I helped

Exactly, me too. Suffered with acne for 6 years until I found out that if it’s not responsive to topical treatments, then you must see dermatologist. Got prescribed accutane took the course for 6 months and now Im healed. 3 months after finishing now I don’t get any pimples.

I suffered from cystic acne very bad. I didn’t pick, I saw a derm, I did everything…I still ended up with scars. The cystic acne was so fucking deep that it destroyed my collagen in the worst way. My scars are much much better after years of Retin A. I still have alot of scars, but it’s better. I look at photos of me in childhood and I had beautiful skin. Once I hit 8th grade, things took a turn for the worst. Im 29 now, and still dealing with breakouts at time. I no longer get cystic though. The pitted scars are the worst because it’s like the ruins left of the demolition. Stay strong, and never stop trying to find what works for you. God bless you.

I would go to a derm or medspa and ask about IPL Laser scarring. Also, VI Peels for body could reduce the hyperpigmentation. Morpheus Body or Forma could be helpful too. Laser & RF are great options

What products do you use

@@ktlawanya1203 Retin A, salicylic acid wash, BP if I get a break out and sunscreen.

@@vickysookdeosingh561 thank you

​@@vickysookdeosingh561which retin a % u have used plz can u tell me

thanks for watching

Morning!

Which percentages u use... Does its help in ur acne scar

@@mithun8492 i started on 0.25 but my dermatologist moved me up to 0.5 after 3 months,and i think so it really has transformed my skin for the better tho it did get a lot worse to start with. make sure you are using SPF!!!!!!

Im looking into micro needling right now but I’m so scared !!

@@elliottstirrop4353 which type of scars u have?? And how deep ... Why you stop tretinoin it doesn't work any more??

@@mithun8492 i haven’t stop tretinoin but micro needling will help with scars even more

thanks for watching!

Enjoy your day Uncle Charlie! 👱‍♀️❤

@@nadab4750 thanks same too u! ☀️👍🏻

Have a wonderful Tuesday, Uncle Charlie👍🏼🌻🐬💚Today’s video was really interesting from a medical standpoint-SO many things I wasn’t aware of!😱

@@nadab4750 Happy Tuesday, and thank you for being so helpful to others🤩💚👍🏼🦋🌷

Happy Tuesday!

That's so nice to hear! I'm about to start using one and crossing my fingers that it helps.

That’s awesome, happy for you! What retinol are you using?

Be careful with RF, I’ve heard it can cause sagging skin.

You probably have tethered scars if they’re depressed. Get subcision before anything else. Lasers/micro won’t be as effective if the scars are still tethered.

How did the wedding go?

Happy Tuesday!

Enjoy your day Angela! 👱‍♀️❤

How did it help with the acne and how did it help with the pitted scars. I should be starting tomorrow

Accutane was a miracle for me. I did it twice, and areas stayed clear permanently both times. Do it- it will work! Just give it time.
