Hello forum,

I've decided to document my treatments of mild/moderate acne scars. I'm female, Africian American, and have suffered from acne since my teen years. I finally got my acne under control with major changes to my diet. Dairy and sugar were not my friends. Although I'd dealt with acne (and occasional cysts)  for such a long time I managed to escape permanent scars in my 20's and most of my 30's. Then I found a spa that I went to for chemical peels and a few treatments of microdermabrasion for my chronic hyperpigmentation. I don't know if it was the spa treatments, the fact that I was stressed and smoking during that time, aging, or a combination of everything but I began to notice texture changes in my skin. Shallow pock marks and indentations on both cheeks. I was horrified and quit going to the spa. This prompted me to begin researching to treat these new skin problems. My scars are mild to moderate and about 4 or 5 yrs old. I'm not quite sure how to classify the scars but at an angle they appear to be shallow "dotted lines" Maybe mild rolling scars and a few icepicks/boxcars? I don't really know.

Thank goodness that I've found this site. I've created a protocol based on research and advice that Sarah has given to others with similar scars. I have the vitamin c for serum, infoladan, 1mm dermastamp, 1.5mm dermastamp, and 1.5mm dermaroller. I plan to stamp and roll my scars once monthly. I am concentrating on my hyperpigmentation and deeper scars first then possibly make changes to my treatments depending on how my skin responds. I've given up smoking for good, working out more, improving my diet to incorporate green smoothies, lots of water, vitamins, and getting enough sleep. I feel pretty good about this journey and hope I can improve my face. I've suffered with skin problems long enough!
