Acne scars can be very disfiguring and embarrassing. My brother suffered from it, but not anymore. So many people have asked me how my brother's acne scars were treated.
Before I give you a rundown on his treatment process, here is his before treatment photo:
Well, it doesn't look good, huh? He went to several dermatologists and wasn't happy with the results, so he asked me if I can refer him to my dermatologist, so I accompanied him to her clinic. My dermatologist told him that since his scars were deep and his pores were quite big, he needs a series of treatments. First, he would undergo series of Subcision (using a special needle to release the deep scars from being tethered underneath the skin) and CROSS technique (using a chemical peel to increase skin repair in deep scars). Then he would undergo series of fractional laser resurfacing then fractional needling. It took almost a year before he finished all those treatments, but it was all worth it.
Check out his after treatment photo:
Well, everyone who hasn't seen him for at least a year was surprised at how much better his skin looked compared to before. But it wasn't really easy. There were times when he got depressed because of the downtime that he had to experience right after the procedures. So the whole process is not for the faint of heart. But as they say, "No pain, no gain." It's not easy, but it's all worth it. :)
