| Hello! I was wondering if anyone has had any success with pore scarring? I have a pore that I'm assuming is scarred as it stays indented/enlarged all of the time (it's very small though). I had previously had a FCO2 laser treatment on the spot and it improved slightly, but I'd like it gone completely. I'm thinking about possibly trying mandelic and/or salicylic acid? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you :'-) |

Do you mean pitted scars?
Unfortunately, just applying AHA won't do any thing to improve them
Flaxel laser 10 years ago promoted that it could fix them or improve them, it's a form of nonablative laser. I don't believe it was such a success though.
I read on this or another forum about needling or piercing and follow by acid, directly into the pitted scars, forcing them to swell and repair but very locally. I asked a beauty therapist for advice and she said the results are not permanent.
Because they are so localised, it's not worth damaging the surrounding skin to treat a couple of dots.
Sorry I couldn't provide any worthwhile, albeit permanent solutions. |

I think a little more information would be useful: What type of acne did you suffer from? What type of regimen did you use (and for how long now?) etc.
While these may be icepick-like scars, have you considered the option that your pores have got quite wide/large and may be clogged (while not directly visible)? Even after your pores are 'unclogged' it can take quite some effort and time before they resize to normal (invisible) again. |

| I would stay away from all lasers. I had a co2 fractional 4 months ago and it left me with scarred pores literally all over every inch of my face. My new doctor is fixing it with tca peels. |
