Recommendations for treatment and or how severe is this? Scar type?

First photo is comparison before and after my 1st round of subcision and radiesse filler and the last pic is me after the 2nd round of subcision and filler do days after treatment. Pretty decent results I feel. Also getting my face blasted with fractional co2 next month lol. I had the scar for like 7 years. The second treatment was done 7 weeks after the first.

hello!

I am having a hard time trying to figure out if my scars are mostly boxcar scars or icepick scars? I would like to know so that I could decide on which treatment I would be getting. Thanks peeps!

hi everyone,
im new posting here and imlooking for some honest advice on how to treat my residual acne scars and skin texture.

Current Routine & Context:

Time on current routine: 1 month.

AM: Gentle Cleanser (CeraVe) + Sunscreen (SPF 50).

PM: Gentle Cleanser + Moisturizer + Adapalene 0.1% (full face)

Status: Active acne has reduced, but I still get occasional breakouts, so I know my acne isn't 100% cleared yet.

My concerns:…

As you can see in the photos, I have some mild shallow icepick scars and surface texture irregularities mainly on my cheeks. I'm a student on a budget, so I want to avoid overly aggressive or unnecessary expensive packages from clinics 😓😓.

I would highly appreciate your advice 🫡

I have had acne scars for over a decade. Which treatments would improve texture and reduce severity over a 4-6 month period?

Is some of this PIH?

Hi everyone!

I had a severe acne breakout last year due to some underlying medical issues. Thankfully, my acne eventually cleared up, but it left behind a lot of scarring that I’m still struggling with.

Initially, most of the marks were post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), but over time, I also developed atrophic acne scars, particularly on my cheeks. I have a combination of small, deeper scars and rolling or shallow depressions, along with persistent redness.

It has been several months since the breakout settled, and although my skin has improved in some ways, the scarring is still quite noticeable, especially under harsh lighting. I’m hoping to find treatments that can make a meaningful difference over time.

I’ve attached photos of my skin for reference. I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with similar scarring or has experience with professional acne scar treatments.

I would really appreciate any and all advice.

About a week ago, I published my first post here, describing my experience with fractional CO₂ laser treatment at Hautteam Bochum in Germany, performed by Dr. Klaus Hoffmann https://www.reddit.com/r/AcneScars/comments/1x9h6ya/my_experience_with_hautteam_bochum_and_dr_klaus/

I decided to write a follow-up because I think others might be interested not only in what happened during the treatment itself, but also in how the clinic, its insurance company, and the platforms hosting patient reviews handled everything afterward.

Some of the things I have experienced are, in my opinion, absolutely absurd.

1. What Happened After the Unsuccessful Treatment

As I described in Part 1, the treatment left me with pronounced demarcation lines between treated and untreated areas of my face, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and a very noticeable white line along my jawline.

In my opinion, the doctor seriously damaged my skin pigmentation with this procedure.

When I returned for a follow-up appointment, I asked for new photographs of my face using the clinic's facial imaging system (a face scan), so that we could objectively compare my skin before and after the procedure.

Dr. Hoffmann refused, explaining that it wasn't necessary because he could see for himself what had happened to my face.

I found that absolutely absurd. Before the procedure, documenting my face was apparently important, but once visible problems had developed, suddenly a new detailed face scan was no longer necessary.

Before the third and final attempt at corrective treatment, I explicitly demanded that a new face scan be performed and that we go through the problematic areas together, particularly the areas with missing pigmentation and the sharp transitions between treated and untreated skin.

This time, the doctor told me that the imaging equipment wasn't working.

2. My German Lawyer and ERGO Insurance

I therefore decided to contact a German lawyer, who agreed to take on my case.

She first requested the complete medical documentation from the clinic.

She then contacted ERGO, the insurance company handling the liability claim relating to my treatment, and requested that it acknowledge responsibility for the resulting damage.

The insurance company refused to accept liability.

According to the position we received, it is essentially a matter of the doctor's professional judgment which areas of the face to treat and how to treat them. The resulting demarcation lines were regarded as a risk associated with the medical procedure.

And this brings me to something I personally find completely absurd.

Does this mean that if a doctor decides to treat only certain areas of the face, and the result is a pronounced, aesthetically disturbing difference in pigmentation between treated and untreated skin, this automatically qualifies as an acceptable medical risk?

Following that logic, a doctor could treat half of someone's face, leave the other half untreated, and the patient could end up looking like a clown with two differently colored halves of their face. And that would supposedly be acceptable simply because the doctor decided which areas to treat?

3. Refusal of an Independent Medical Assessment

My lawyer subsequently proposed resolving the matter through a German out-of-court procedure for assessing possible medical malpractice, known as Schlichtungsverfahren.

This procedure allows a case to be independently assessed by medical experts without immediately having to initiate court proceedings.

However, the other side refused to participate.

Once again, I found this strange. If the clinic is convinced that the doctor acted entirely correctly, why refuse an independent medical assessment?

I am therefore currently trying to find an independent dermatological expert in Germany who would be willing to prepare a medical expert report assessing whether the original treatment met professional medical standards and whether there is a causal connection between the procedure and the damage I suffered.

4. I Decided to Share My Experience Publicly

Alongside the legal proceedings, I decided to share my experience online.

Not because I want to personally insult anyone, but because I believe other patients deserve to know what complications can arise from this kind of treatment and how difficult dealing with the consequences can become.

I therefore posted reviews on Google and on Jameda.de, a German platform specializing in patient reviews of doctors.

And this is where another chapter began, one that I find particularly interesting.

5. Negative Reviews and the Doctor's Responses

While reading Dr. Hoffmann's public reviews, I noticed an interesting difference between how positive and negative reviews were handled.

When someone leaves a positive review, the doctor generally thanks them.

However, in response to some negative reviews, he questions whether the reviewer was ever actually his patient. There are also references to potential legal action.

What particularly caught my attention is that people on Google commonly use nicknames rather than their real names - which i find perfectly understandable.

So if someone calling themselves "Julius Caesar" or "Cleopatra" leaves a five-star review, apparently there is no problem thanking them for their feedback.

But when someone using nickname describes a negative experience, the clinic immediately challenges whether such a patient even exists.

Why should anonymity suddenly become a problem only when the review is negative?

I also came across a review from a woman who stated that she had been forced to tone down her original review after receiving a legal notice. According to her account, she had been threatened with legal action.

I cannot independently verify every detail of her case, but even reading such a public statement raised serious questions for me.

Also i saw some negative reviews on jameda and google within last 3 years, most of em are gone. Why ?

6. My Jameda Review – Challenged Within 24 Hours

I published a short negative review on Jameda.

The platform has a limit of 1,000 characters. You also cant attach photographs.

I therefore briefly explained that the fractional CO₂ laser treatment had left me with pronounced demarcation lines, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and a white line along my jawline. I also mentioned the unsuccessful corrective treatments.

Less than 24 hours later, Jameda informed me that my review had been challenged and would no longer be publicly visible while it was being investigated.

The clinic claims that it never treated me as a patient, that my review is fake, and that it has no record of me.

I found this almost unbelievable. After all, they only treated me six times. :-). 3 Times for free as correction treatments since they messed up my skin.

I had even mentioned when the treatment took place in my review. Furthermore, the clinic has my medical records and has already been communicating with my German lawyer regarding this very procedure.

And yet, suddenly I had to prove that I had ever been a patient there in the first place.

7. Having to Prove That I Am a Real Patient

Jameda gave me 21 days to submit supporting evidence and explain my experience.

I had to provide proof of treatment, describe the course of my visit, the clinic's premises, the circumstances of the procedure, and explain my review in greater detail.

I understand that review platforms need to investigate fake reviews. That is entirely legitimate.

But the whole process makes me wonder whether the same level of scrutiny is applied to positive reviews.

Because if someone writes, "Amazing doctor, everything was perfect," I seriously doubt they are routinely asked to provide a detailed description of the waiting room, medical records, and the treatment procedure.

But when a patient describes a negative experience, they suddenly have to be prepared to prove almost every single detail.

Of course, I submitted all the requested documentation.

In my opinion, the clinic routinely challenges negative reviews in order to maintain its high rating. The doctor also highlights distinctions such as "Doctor of the Year" and similar awards on his profile.

I suspect that once a review is challenged, quite a few people either fail to respond within the 21-day deadline or simply overlook the notification.

Others might remember some minor detail incorrectly.

And just like that, the review may be removed within 21 days, while the clinic's rating remains intact.

8. I Am Also Attaching Evidence of My Treatment

To make it clear that this is not some made-up story, I am attaching anonymized documents to this post:

• The laser treatment record from my original procedure on November 2, 2023, including the recorded laser settings.
• The invoice and receipt confirming payment of €2,400 for the original treatment.

I have redacted my personal information, but the treatment dates, procedure descriptions, laser settings, and clinic details remain visible.

I stand by my review, and I have provided the supporting documentation to Jameda.

9. What Happens Next?

I am currently waiting for the outcome of Jameda's review verification process. I am also waiting to see what happens with my Google review that now takes more then a week to go online , seems like they have problem with something. I expect another " never saw this patient " from clinic.

Meanwhile, I am continuing my search for an independent medical expert in Germany who would be willing to prepare an expert report.

This entire experience has taught me one thing: an unsuccessful cosmetic procedure can be just the beginning of a much longer and more exhausting process.

First, you try to repair the damage. Then you try to obtain an independent medical assessment. You have to deal with insurance companies and lawyers, and eventually you even find yourself having to prove that you have the right to publicly describe your own experience.

I am not asking anyone to automatically believe my side of the story. All I want is for this case to be assessed objectively and for patients to be able to speak freely and truthfully about their own experiences.

A brief explanation of why I am reposting this

I decided to delete my original post and publish it again with exactly the same content, but without the photograph, following the advice of my German lawyer.

Let me explain why.

In the original post, I included a photograph showing the condition of my skin after the laser treatment. Since I wanted to protect my identity, I used AI to cover parts of my face. I did not ask AI to alter my skin condition, change the pigmentation, or make the results of the treatment look worse. My intention was simply to hide my identity.

Unfortunately, I am not particularly skilled with computers or photo-editing software. I don't even have a proper photo-editing program on my computer, so using AI seemed like the easiest way to anonymize the photograph.

Some users noticed that AI had been used on the image and pointed this out in the comments.

After discussing this with my German lawyer, she advised me to remove the photograph for the time being. Her concern was that the clinic might try to use the fact that AI had been involved in processing the photograph to question its authenticity and potentially use that argument against me in the ongoing legal dispute.

I do not want to give the clinic any opportunity to undermine my case over something as simple as anonymizing a photograph.

Since I also couldn't figure out how to remove just the photograph from the original Reddit post, I decided to delete the entire post and publish it again without the image.

I will try to find a conventional photo-editing program that allows me to cover my face without using AI. However, as I mentioned, I am not particularly technically skilled, so I will have to see how that goes.

I also want to make something absolutely clear:

I stand by every single word I wrote in both Part 1 and Part 2 of my story. Everything I have described is based on my own personal experiences. I am fully prepared to repeat and defend these statements in court or anywhere else if necessary. Im fed up with clinic and dr and how they ruined my life.

As for the text itself, English is not my native language. I dictate my experiences in my own language and use AI to polish and translate them into English. I then review the translation to make sure it accurately reflects what I said.

The experiences, opinions, and statements are entirely my own. AI is simply a tool that makes translation easier and faster.

Nothing about my story has changed. I am reposting exactly the same account, simply without the photograph, as a precaution on the advice of my lawyer.

My experience with treatment at Hautteam Bochum, specifically treatment performed by Dr. Klaus Hoffmann using the Lumenis UltraPulse CO₂ laser, was extremely negative. I underwent the treatment in November 2023, and the result is an aesthetic catastrophe.

Before the treatment, I
attended two consultations during which the doctor explained to me that the
UltraPulse CO₂ laser was the best fractional laser in the world. He compared it
to a racing car versus an ordinary car, or a Ferrari versus a normal car.
He claimed that the results were incomparable to those of other lasers and that
he was a top specialist with many years of experience. This was also supposed
to justify the high price of the treatment.

I paid €2,400 for the
procedure and approximately another €100 for various ointments and medications.

Dr. Hoffmann explained to
me that a professional procedure performed by a top specialist simply costs
money, and that it is always cheaper than having to correct mistakes made
during an unprofessional procedure.

Well, in my opinion, my
face now looks as though I had undergone an unprofessional procedure at a
beauty salon for a few euros. And trying to repair what happened is costing me
a great deal of additional money, time, and emotional energy. If it can even be
repaired at all.

What the Doctor Told Me Before the

Treatment

During both
consultations, I explicitly asked about possible permanent consequences.
Specifically, I asked about permanent loss of subcutaneous fat, the development
of so-called "orange peel skin," and permanent loss of pigmentation.

Dr. Klaus Hoffmann
clearly told me that such complications were not possible with his treatment
because he never treated too deeply or too aggressively. He claimed that these
problems only occurred with excessively aggressive treatment, which he did not
perform.

He also explained that he
only treated the epidermis, not the dermis, and that pigmentation loss was
therefore not a risk.

I then asked whether it
would be possible to treat only my acne scars. After all, that was the reason I
was undergoing the procedure. I was not interested in facial rejuvenation, only
in improving my scars.

He replied that this
would technically be possible, but it would create so-called demarcation zones.
This meant that the treated areas of the face would look different from the
untreated areas. He explained that this was an undesirable aesthetic effect
that we wanted to avoid.

For that reason, he
recommended treating the entire face, a so-called "full-face"
treatment, which, according to his explanation, would prevent such differences
from occurring.

And this is precisely the
most absurd part of the entire situation. The doctor himself warned me about
the risk of demarcation zones, convinced me that treating the entire face would
prevent them, and the result of his procedure was exactly the demarcation zones
he had warned me about.

The Treatment in November 2023

I arrived at Hautteam
Bochum in the morning. First, they performed a so-called FaceScan, during which
my face was scanned and photographed from different angles.

I was then supposed to
undergo the laser treatment itself at approximately 9:00 a.m.

However, I was informed
that the doctor was running behind schedule and that I should return in the
afternoon. I no longer remember the exact time, but I believe it was around
3:00 p.m.

At the time, this did not
particularly surprise me. Dr. Hoffmann was late for practically every
consultation, and paradoxically, I regarded this as a sign that he was a very
busy and sought-after specialist.

Today, I see it
completely differently.

When I entered the laser
treatment room, I was given pain-relieving injections and connected to devices
monitoring my heart rate and blood pressure.

Dr. Hoffmann was once
again not present.

A young female doctor
informed me that she would begin the treatment without him. She was even
setting up the laser herself.

I do not know whether she
set it up correctly. In my opinion, the settings of such a powerful device
should have been handled by the doctor I had specifically come to see and whose
expertise I had paid a considerable amount of money for.

I refused to let her
perform the treatment and insisted on Dr. Hoffmann being present.

After approximately
fifteen minutes, he finally arrived, visibly out of breath, apparently because
he was once again running behind schedule.

In my opinion, the
treatment itself was then performed very quickly. Everything gave me the
impression that there was constant rushing.

Rush, rush, rush.

After the procedure, they
applied cream and a mask to my face.

The following day, I
attended a follow-up appointment. They removed the mask, treated my face, and
told me that everything looked excellent.

The First Signs of a Problem

After seven days, I
returned for another follow-up appointment.

Even then, I noticed that
certain parts of my face looked as though they had not been treated at all.

These were mainly the
lateral areas of my forehead, particularly the corners of my forehead, and the
areas along my jawline, where there was a clearly visible sharp boundary between
treated and untreated skin.

I explicitly pointed this
out to Dr. Hoffmann.

I asked him whether it
would be a problem that some parts of my face had apparently been left
untreated, especially since he himself had explained before the procedure how
undesirable demarcation zones were.

He assured me that there
would be no problem, that everything looked fine, and that I had nothing to
worry about.

However, approximately
three to four months later, when the redness of my skin began to fade, the
actual result became apparent.

Very pronounced and
visible demarcation lines remained on my face between the treated and untreated
areas of skin.

Exactly what the doctor
himself had warned me about before the procedure.

In addition, white
hypopigmented areas appeared on my forehead, meaning areas where pigmentation
had been lost.

A prominent white line
developed along the contour of my jawline, and it is still visible today.

As a result, I now have
not only differences between treated and untreated areas of my face, but also
pigmentation disorders that I did not have before the procedure.

I was completely shocked.

I had gone there to
improve my acne scars, and instead I ended up with additional aesthetic
problems that, in my opinion, are considerably worse than the original scars.

Attempts to Correct the Problem at

Hautteam Bochum

I returned to Hautteam
Bochum to address the situation.

At first, I was seen by a
young female doctor who practically downplayed the problem. Without conducting
a more thorough examination, she simply told me that such things could happen.

Dr. Hoffmann then arrived
and acknowledged that there was a problem.

He suggested trying to
treat the previously untreated areas of my face using a Pico laser and various
creams.

I underwent these
treatments twice.

Even at that time, I told
him that, in my layman's opinion, such an approach could not resolve the
fundamental difference between skin treated with a powerful fractional CO₂
laser and skin that had not been treated with that laser.

I believed that the same
UltraPulse CO₂ laser should be used to complete the originally untreated areas
in order to even out the differences.

Only after that should we
address what could be done about the hypopigmented areas.

However, Dr. Hoffmann
claimed that the corners of the forehead could not be treated with this laser
and that the neck healed very poorly.

To me, these explanations
sounded like excuses.

Nevertheless, I respected
his professional opinion and underwent the proposed treatments.

In my assessment, the
result was zero.

The demarcation zones
remained.

Another Procedure in 2025

At the beginning of 2025,
I contacted Dr. Hoffmann again.

I explained to him that I
could not simply remain like this and that the result of the procedure was having
a major impact on my appearance and psychological well-being.

This time, he told me
that he would use the UltraPulse CO₂ laser and attempt to complete the
untreated areas of my face.

Finally, I felt that the
problem was actually going to be addressed.

I also asked him again
about the loss of pigmentation. He assured me that the pigment would return and
that, in his opinion, permanent pigmentation loss was not a risk.

Therefore, in June 2025,
I underwent another treatment.

I assumed that it would
be a procedure similar to the original treatment in November 2023.

However, after the
procedure, I learned that the ActiveFX mode with mild settings had been used,
rather than the treatment I had expected.

I was disappointed and
felt that I had been misled as a patient.

This treatment also
failed to produce any of the desired results.

After several more
months, it became clear that the demarcation zones had remained practically
unchanged.

I had therefore lost
almost two years of my life through repeated visits, consultations, and
attempts at correction that led nowhere.

And above all, I had lost
my trust in Dr. Hoffmann.

Consultations with Other Specialists

I therefore decided to
seek opinions from other doctors.

I also consulted an
experienced specialist in Italy who works with the Lumenis UltraPulse CO₂ laser.

After examining me, he
explained that, in his opinion, the areas that had been left untreated during
the original procedure, particularly the corners of my forehead, should also
have been treated.

He disagreed with the
claim that these areas could not be treated with a CO₂ laser.

He also explained that a
fractional CO₂ laser does not act only on the epidermis but, depending on its
settings, also penetrates into the dermis. The effect on the deeper layers of
the skin is an essential part of how this type of laser works.

He also explained that
melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment, are primarily located
in the basal layer of the epidermis.

I was therefore very
surprised by the explanations I had previously received from Dr. Hoffmann.

The Italian doctor
recommended first addressing the differences between the treated and untreated
areas of skin and only afterward looking for possible solutions to the
hypopigmentation.

He also warned me that corrective
procedures carry their own risks and that correcting an unevenly performed
laser treatment can be much more complicated than performing the original
procedure correctly.

Other doctors with whom I
discussed my condition expressed similar opinions.

In their view, creams or
Pico laser treatments alone may not be capable of eliminating the differences
between skin treated with a fractional CO₂ laser and untreated areas.

Dr in Italy also told me
that what he thinks went wron in first place was the dr. Hoffman used very high
density of laser, which resulted in almost Full ablation and thats the problem,
he didnt leave some untreated areas like fractional is supposed to do but full
ablation. If i knew this i d never went for that treatment in Germany,
i thought that would be fractional not very aggresive treatment.

The Consequences I Am Living With

Two years after the
original procedure, I therefore decided to continue trying to correct the
damage with another doctor.

For me, this means
additional expenses, further treatments, more recovery periods, and continued
uncertainty.

And the worst part is that
I still do not know whether everything can ever be repaired.

Some doctors have warned
me that pigmentation loss can, in certain cases, be permanent.

The thought that visible
white areas and demarcation lines might remain on my face permanently is extremely
difficult for me.

What troubles me most,
however, is that I raised concerns about possible permanent consequences before
the procedure.

I explicitly asked about
them.

And I was repeatedly
assured that I did not need to worry.

I went to a reputable
medical facility to see a doctor who presented his experience, expertise, and
state-of-the-art technology.

I paid a high price for
the procedure precisely because I wanted to minimize the risk of complications.

Yet the result is a
condition that I consider considerably worse than the original problem.

The acne scars for which
I underwent the treatment have, in my assessment, improved only minimally or
not at all.

Instead, I now have new
aesthetic problems on my face that I did not have before the procedure.

Of course, I understand
that every medical procedure carries risks and that even the best doctor cannot
guarantee a perfect result.

But in my opinion, there
is a fundamental difference between an unpredictable complication and a
situation in which parts of the skin are left untreated during a full-face
procedure, resulting in exactly the visible boundaries that the doctor himself
had warned the patient about.

That is precisely why I
consider the entire course of my treatment to have been extremely unsatisfactory.

Why I Am Publishing This Review

Finally, I want to say
that this is exactly why I consider reviews like this and the publication of
patients' personal experiences to be extremely important.

People considering a
similar procedure should be aware not only of the potential positive results,
but also of what can happen when a procedure does not turn out as they were
promised.

They should know that
neither a high price, a reputable clinic, an expensive device, nor a doctor
with many years of experience automatically guarantees a good result.

And above all, they
should know that the consequences may involve not only an aesthetic problem,
but also years of further treatments, significant financial expenses,
psychological distress, and uncertainty about whether the damage can ever be
repaired.

I am not publishing this
experience to discourage people from undergoing laser treatments in general,
but rather so that others can make their decisions based on as much information
as possible.

If I had known about a
similar experience from another patient before my own procedure, perhaps I
would have made a completely different decision.

And if my review helps
even one person avoid going through what I have had to endure, and am still
enduring, then writing it was worthwhile.

At the same time, I must
say that after my treatment, I began paying much closer attention to reviews of
Hautteam Bochum.

From time to time, a
negative review appears, but it is immediately challenged very aggressively by
the clinic. Over the almost three years that I have been following these
reviews, quite a number of negative reviews have been deleted.

There was even a woman
who wrote that the clinic's lawyers had threatened her with a lawsuit in a
letter.

This is how a high rating
is maintained.

Unfortunately, I was
taken in by the high rating.

I need something aggressive for my scars, what treatments would give me meaningful improvements? CO2 laser? Im early 40s.

Bonjour à tous,

Je sais que j'ai beaucoup publié jusqu'alors. Je voulais vous partager des photos après tous les traitements que j'ai fait. Je vous laisse juger des progrès ou non. Bientôt je devrais faire du lipofilling chez le docteur Hilligot en France. Mais je suis toujours à la recherche de nouvelles technologies qui vous ont aidé à améliorer l'apparence et surtout les dépressions des cicatrices afin de les modeler en volume.

Bien à vous tous !

So, I understand barely nothing of acne scars and I'm looking for help, what can be done for me?

Any help for
This ? Not scaring deep but staying red for two years now. Would micro needling work ?

I have mild to moderate acne scars, and I feel really bad about them. I'm in college, and I can't seem to make friends because I feel inferior and think people find me ugly. Does anyone have any advice that could help me? I wish I could have a girlfriend at least once in my life (I know that's pathetic).

I have been on a pretty aggressive scar revision plan since Feb I started with a laser which was not great for my types of scars then moved into a subcision in May since May I’ve been running TCA Cross every 4-6 weeks and have just finished my 4th on Oct 5th

Also open to any advice I feel like tca makes my scars stand out more the edges are sharp and lighting really matters but it’s been a journey still not happy with where I’m at so just figured I’d ask around and see if anyone had any thoughts or similar experiences

Old acne scars. My dermatologist did some carbon peel sessions which I feel has reduced it a bit. But the results are not that great considering the price paid (11k per session * 4 sessions done). Have you fixed this for yourself and how? Anything I need to include in my skincare routine (currently I use azelaic acid serum, peptide serum as prescribed by dermat and mineral sunscreen. Also use retinal eye cream and glycolic acid cream on spots occasionally)? Does collagen supplement or at home microdermabrasion help?

I've done tons of microneedling, and the dr I was seeing doesn't do anything more intensive. TIA!

Hi I was wondering what kind of procedure would give me the best results for these scars ? My options are quite limited and I’m quite scared of making them worse than they are. When I wakeup in the morning they’re all almost flat but through the day they get more noticeable.

do share your thoughts and experiences, this sub needs more of this too

Hi, I would like to know which treatments will yield the most difference for my case. Thanks in advance!

Hi all! Looking for best treatment options for these scars. The first picture is with the worst side lighting right next to a window. The second is if I pull my skin taut in that same lighting. Do these scars look tethered? Do you think I would likely be a good candidate for subcision and filler? Just filler? Something else? I’m pregnant currently and am just coming up with a plan postpartum. Also would appreciate knowing how severe you perceive these scars/how noticeable they are on a scale of 1-10. Would you fix them if you were in my position? Thanks
