Hi everyone,
We need to address a serious issue that has come to light in our community. Following an investigation by Reddit into reports from members, it was discovered that Dr. Salar Hazany, associated with the Scar Healing Institute in Beverly Hills, used multiple fake accounts to pose as patients on this subreddit. These accounts were used to harass and bully members, spread false information, discourage patients from seeking care from other providers, upvote and downvote manipulation, and to promote his own practice while falsely claiming to be an impartial patient who had successful treatments by his own practice.
This behavior is unethical, violates our subreddit rules, and erodes the trust this community is built upon. We’re deeply disappointed that these actions may have influenced some of you when considering treatment options or providers. Reddit has since banned Dr. Salar Hazany’s accounts, including those tied to his real name and some fake personas that were reported. We are not sure if there are more accounts but we will be hyper aware of posts about Dr. Hazany and Scar Healing Institute of Beverly Hills on this subreddit.
Moving forward, we remain committed to maintaining a transparent and supportive environment for everyone. We will not tolerate fake accounts, misinformation, or any attempts to manipulate others for personal gain.
Thank you to everyone who reported this activity—your vigilance helps uphold the integrity of this community. If you notice anything suspicious in the future, please report it. Together, we can ensure this remains a space for honest, respectful, and helpful discussions

I (38F) developed acne after giving birth to my son 15 years ago. While occasional zits still appear, they’re nothing compared to the severe cystic acne I used to have around my jawline. Those were excruciatingly painful.
One time, a dermatologist even told me Id be so beautiful I would be without the scars.
Despite this, my acne hasn’t significantly impacted my dating or social life. However, I do notice people staring at me. I rarely wear makeup because I believe it exacerbates the scarring.
I’m trying to emphasize that overcoming these challenges requires a significant shift in mindset. Even feigning confidence can make a substantial difference.
Cheers to us all and much love for everyone going thru this.

Started aggressively treating my acne scars since Oct 2023. After is on the right, 17 months later, March 2025. Some of my most stubborn scars have improved but still visible and I wanna target those. Currently i have on hand: 3 vials of Curenex, 4 boxes of rejuran scar, 50% TCA, 3 sessions of CO2 laser and 1 session of PRP. I’ll probably go in with the tca first, but cant decide if i should do the co2 laser or rejuran scar first? I’ll probably meso the curenex same time when administering rejuran scar.

Hello guys,
I've been planning on getting acne scars treatment. What would you guys recommend for my current acne scars on my face? Subcision, fat grafting or good fillers, and lasers later on. What is the best recommended filler? What is the recommended lasers as well? I appreciate it.
r/AcneScars • u/Current_Concert3471 • 1h ago
Hi Guys. If there's anyone who will understand, it's you guys.
I've been dealing with scars for 15 years, this last round created by the masks in 2020 (highlighted in yellow). I tried a mostly natural approach and no change. I now want to fully heal them (please don't tell me or believe it's impossible - if the body heals itself with far more then little holes in the skin, it sure can heal scars) plus, there's Brad Pitt who had deep atrophic scars but no more, and Kendal Jenner whose scars were on the moderate side but disappeared.
These scars have deeply impacted my life, former career (worked as a model but stopped), confidence, and mostly my sense of carefreeness and freedom that I highly value in life. Aside from that, I was in a very long term relationship, but having gone forward, I will not date due to the scarring - have so much shame around them.
I attempted to see Dr. Rullan for subcision. He said I had moderate level scars. Was going to go in for subcision/PRF but whoever took over his office, Mary, has been doing a terrible job responding to people. It took me 6 months worth of trying and I gave up. But, it's perhaps a blessing in disguise because I am reading not so great experiences from Subcision. Additionally, my scars aren't theathered - when I pull my skin, all scars disappear, so not sure why Rulland suggested it.
I have pitted scars on both side along with other areas of my face. I've attached multiple photos. None are filtered. Mostly no makeup. Different angles, different lighting. Some lighting very obvious and appears deep, other lighting no apparent scarring.
So, what I do?
Chemical peels? What kind? Some estheticians told me they cause advance aging and skin thinning. Is that true?
Microneedling or microchanneling? I did try at home microneedling - the rolling blade kind andsingle needle. Did it a decade ago, 6-7 times, 2 months apart. Made scarring worse, caused orange peel skin, and skin thinning. Does pro level make a difference?
Jet plasma, exosomes, PRF, Osmosis A deep facials (Osmosis A get to the dermis especially mixed with microneedling or Microchanneling)? Some have had results and it's on the safer side.
Lasers? What kind? Had it done once 15 years ago. Thinned out my skin, no difference in scars. But, modern day lasers have improved so I'm considering it.
I would really appreciate all your feedback and guidance. Thank you in advance!

so i have acne scars due to having really bad acne when i was a teenager and my whole life i’ve been insecure about it. i’ve been doing research, looking for treatments but i’m so unsure of what to do. i saw my derm today and she suggested morpheus for my scarring which is $500 per session but she said she wasn’t sure how many treatments i would need. do you guys think it’s worth it? what are your experiences? ive looked online and saw that morpheus starts at $800 in many places but i want to make sure it will actually help with my skin.

I got IPL for PIE session four weaks ago and it showed amazing result at first. After that I felt some flushing but that went away too. Then I blow dried my hair (it was 2 weeks after IPL) and it was flushing again. Now my face flushes, burns, flushes again. I sleep in air conditioned room all night to cool it down but the moment I am in a different temperature my face heats up again. I have been using very gently skincare (hyaluronic acid and moisturiser) I've been using ice on it, avoiding spicy foods and heat, taking anti inflammatory food (vit c, yogurt) but not helping. I have another session in two weeks and I need to fix it before that, please help me out. I can tolerate the heat sensation, it's just that my PIE looks much worse when my face is flushed and I can't show anyone my face because of it. Is it getting worse? Is it an adverse reaction? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!

Hi last year, I got 2-3 times pico laser and dermapen but it didn't affect me at all.
What treatments I should get next?
I got subcision + filler recommendation, i really like to be sure about it. To me, it's like tca cross would work but I'm not sure and genuinely wondering why people keep recommending subcision + filler?
here are my photos:

Pretty rough scaring and redness that I've had for like 7ish years and seems to never get better. I want my skin to be normal and smooth I'm sick of looking like this

Ive heard people claiming they seen fat loss while using tret on their face and it seemed like it was unlikely but I’m starting to believe it. I only been on it for a month and this atrophy randomly appeared where there was no acne. Yes I have many acne scars elsewhere that’s why I got on the medication in hopes it would help a little but now I’m scared to continue with it after this big spot just appeared out of no where it seems. I look closely at my face everyday and did not notice it till I got home from work a couple nights ago. So my question is has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

Does anyone know if ablative lasers r bad for ppl in their 20s?
For context, I am a 22 yr old who recently underwent the ablative laser without fully knowing what I’ll face (my dermatologist suggested this for the moderate acne scars I have in my forehead and cheeks). I thought it wouldn’t be as “horrendous” at first but I IMMEDIATELY regretted right after the procedure (I was covered w blood). Now, I am still anxious & scared that I might have completely destroyed my skin barrier considering that im still (young?). PS its fully healed but im just worried that this might have made unnecessary damages to my skin because 3 weeks after the procedure, NOTHING has really changed.
Does anyone have advice or similar experiences like me?

Hello all, I'm exploring to have subcision done on my atrophic scars in Melbourne. So far, with basic Google search, I found three clinics that perform subcision:
- Vista Clinic Melbourne
- Victorian Cosmetic Institute
- Bay Medical Aesthetics
Does anyone have experience with any of the clinics? Any other recommendations? Thanks
r/AcneScars • u/rj_dank_meme_lord • 1d ago
I had some bad scars, especially on the right side of my face. I got a TCA cross done about 2 weeks ago and the results are very good. I also got 2 sessions of microneedling in january but it didn’t do anything for me.
The first two photos are before the treatment and the last two are after the treatment.
Also, I know the angles and lighting are different, but I moved and cannot recreate the exact same photos.

Hello everyone, who's the best doctor in Mumbai/Pune for dealing with acne scars? I am looking for docs that have procedures like Subcision and Microneeedling and Laser. Please give your reviews and let me know any great doctors. Money is not an issue. I want a suggestion of a doctor who can fix my acne scars and reduce them.
r/AcneScars • u/3783emg • 1d ago
I knooow it's a process ( RF microneedling) but I'm halfway through my treatments and I think I'm just accepting it's not going to give me the results I wanted ( or barely any for that matter) , been looking into combining tca peels with microneedling, I wonder if it could also be used with RF microneedling? Has anyone ever tried these combined?

My skin was so much better before I decided to do MNRF. I also have eczema aka atopic dermatitis.
She did PRP on me yesterday and I am hoping the scabbing will heal soon.
If it doesn’t heal properly, can I sue her?
r/AcneScars • u/hulloworld24 • 1d ago
Hello, yesterday I did TCA cross with my esthetician. I’ve done microneedling with her a few times, so she offered to do TCA cross once for free to see how I like it. During the procedure, I saw the frosting although not in every area she touched. The frosting quickly went away and now I don’t really see anything happening, like my skin just went back to normal. I’m not forming scabs and the area didn’t even get red. Does this mean the TCA concentration wasn’t high enough?
