Title: Seeking advice on dark crease lines and surgical scar
Post by: dannu on June 06, 2012, 11:30:38 PM
Hello Sarah,
I had severe eczema behind my knees as a child. I believe this left me with very dark crease lines and uneven skin tone back there. I also had surgery on the side of my big toe many years ago and that left me with a nice prominent scar.
I've tried conventional treatments (creams and exfoliation behind knee, laser on scar) in the past that have helped a little but would still like to improve things as much as I can. Would you recommend Dermarolling on either of these? Thank you so much.

You can try a 1.5 mm ONE LINER dermaroller both on the lines and on the scar.
Your scar is in an area that is painful to roll but I think it will be doable with the one-liner.
Apply Tretinoin cream (we sell it) on your dark lines. It increases the turnover of the skin and this should lighten them.
