What procedure should be done on overall bad skin.

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

What procedure should be done on overall bad skin.

Postby Me52 » Wed Dec 05, 2012 10:16 am

Hello,
I'm 52 and male. I have bad skin. I have rolling acne scars, enlarged pores, and discoloration. I would like to know what can be done about my problem skin. I have heard bad things about lasers. I would like to have the indented scars raised,and pores made to look smaller. I feel very down right now. Thanks

it would most likely be a combination of a lot things:
1. good diet
2. good skin care products (ova-skin.com are mine).
3. laser. need to see you to determine what kind.
4. fillers like silicone, artefill, juvederm for the scarring and holes
some combination of these would really work for you most likely.

Thank you Doctor.
I am looking for a permanent fix for the indented scars. But you're right. A series of procedures are in order.
I just found a very large pore that is in my skin. I don't know how this came about. Are large pores fixable?

not really. my products do help plus you may need a TCA Cross treatment.
