Aesthetician mishandled MNRF leading to injury and further deep scarring
I consulted an aesthetician (not a dermatologist) for MNRF treatment for my ice prick and box scars in 2025 (my biggest mistake in life) and after about a year and a half, the scarring (deep box scarring from the instrument on my right cheek) has not faded much.
Is there any hope for me? I live in a tropical country, have combination skin type and eczema prone skin. My routine includes barrier repair moisturiser and sunscreen everyday. I am scared of starting any actives on my skin which is clearly still healing. The scar on my right cheek is very visible even from long distance.
Has anyone been through something similar and can help guide me recover my confidence and somewhat of a flawless & smooth skin back?
I know the scar might never fade entirely but are there any procedures I should look into which might help conceal the depth of the scar? Even make up does not help and I do not like putting too much make up as it doesn’t sit well on my combination skin.
