Acne treatments

[shirlene29]

my dr at the moment currently has me on benzoclin and .1% retin a. this has made an amazing difference as has bikram yoga (opens pores) and washing my face with cetaphil only

for something non scripted cindylou <3 had sent me some obagi exfoderm forte that was really incredibly amazing for a non script product along with obagi blender which bleached out marks on my face.

Anyone try microdermabrasion for old ance scars? Results?

 

[shirlene29]

my plastic surgeon said micro dermabrasion only works on very mild scars
he didn't suggest it

what kind of scars are you talking? discolored? rolling boxcars? ice picks? whatcha got?

the filler and subcision worked incredibly well on my rolling boxcars and some mild orange peely looking ice picks, but the deep ice picks I have are both too small for excision and too big for sibcision or filler

I was told no matter what was done it never is 100% and they all have roughly the same results (deep peel, vs laser vs filler and subcision)
so I went with the cheapest and most predictable result..unfortunately its also temporary

upside it was instant results with really almost no down time

Mine really aren't that bad, they're just surface scars, discolored. I have olive skin so I scar so easily and I love picking my zits :-/ Bad combo.
We're about to start offering microderm in my salon/spa so it won't cost me anything. I'm hoping that will be enough and I won't have to go the more expensive route.

that should work to get rid of pigmentation problems

obagi blender is phenomenal at getting rid of the discoloration as well as making your skin smooth like butter

Has anyone tried accutane or know anyone who has?? I am 27 and still have issues with acne during my period. I have tried everything under the sun from my dermatologist but nothing makes it better all the time. It improves a little bit but still have bad breakouts once my cycle start around again. I am on birth control and it didn't change anything with my skin. I have been using dove soap in the morning and neutrogena acne wash at night with clinique step 2 cleanser and acne moisturizer after every wash which has made my skin feel a lot nice than it ever has.
