About me:
I am 25M .
Recenlty, I added a comment on indian skin care sub and I received multiple DM's regarding it.
So thought of psoting it one for all .
It's a long weekend and I would be online till EOD.
My skin condition:
I have a long stitch scar near my eye for almost 2 decades. I did use multiple treatments and creams including chemical peels, but nothing worked.
During covid, I got severe chicken pox that damaged my face with multiple pitted scars on my face and on various parts of my body as well.
my teenage normal acne including with pigmentation made it even worse.

I have treated for acne and for pigmentation.
For almost 6 months, I consulted multiple clinics both online and offline regarding that scar for the permanent solution.
Finally, I am doing it.
Laser skin treatment:
There are multiple types of laser offering various benefits regarding skin condition.
Mine is very deep high intense CO2 laser.
It is ablative laser, which removed or can remove the top layer of skin treating the top skin layer issues.
Stage-1:
I got my 1 session on Dec 5,
It was extremely painful , because, the skin near my eye is very thin and removing complete top layer made is worse.
The rest of scars were not that painful.

Stage-2:
The healing takes around 4-6 weeks or even longer.
The 2 session on Jan-4, but this time my skin had not healed yet, But continued with the session,
It started bleeding during mid session.
But completed the session.
The scars improved a lot, but the stitch scar is almost the same.

Stage-3
This time the healing time is longer.
I took 3 session after 45 days. This time I could visibly see the difference.
All scars improved a lot, including the stitch scar.

Stage-4
Same time period after 45 days.
All scars improved a lot, including the stitch scar.
During all these sessions the treated area becomes little darkish red or purplish.
temporary pigmentation too.
I have medium to light fair skin.
But now its little darkish specially near the scars.
Stage-5
On May 2, I had 5 session.
Now, not only on scars but on my uneven skin area including half of my forehead, cheeks and near the eye.
Almost half of my face this time,
Worst thing, my eye brows are burnt too, they are of wierd shape.
The scar near the eye improved almost 50 percent, the depth decresed, but the size still the same.
It takes a few more sessions.
Pic- 9,10.
Chicken and pit scars almost faded out, But the spots still exist.
Still 3 more sessions left.
After that, for all spots, It takes 1-2 non ablative laser and chemical peels to treat the temporary spots and pigmented area.
Thank you for reading.
Any questions, open to ask.
Any hatred or odd comments, **** u
Don't try to lecture about natural beauty, you should feel happy with your looks.
Looks don't matter these type of comments.
I heard them 100's of times in last 6-8 years.
Don't waste you time doing that.
I took treatment of keloid, hypertrophy scars too.
Regarding response to this post, I would decide to post about it later.
