r/AcneScars

This study has amazing results and it’s so basic
Grade 3 and 4 acne scaring was treated with subscision, dermaroller and 15% tca as well as 0.05 Tret
1 year later results were still there and the study was in 2014. Why are we still so behind if they achieved 70-100%

Hi everyone, I’ve been a victim of bad water (hard water) due to living in a dorm, and got lots of acne on my back, chest and upper arms as a result. The acne itself went away, but it left behind some big keloid scars that haven’t gone away for 6 years. I’ve been to the doctor about them for drying/shrinking them, but it seems very expensive and as a student, I do not have the budget or time for it. It also seems like it will take many sessions to get them to disappear completely. Does anyone know of something I can do on my own instead of getting these injections? I’m not completely against the procedure either, so I will start saving up to get it if it’s the best/only option. Thank you so much!
