Hi Gina!Im sorry to hear you are going through the same thing.It is a tough thing to live with.I know.But girl,there IS hope!Finally!I got the procedure done and the results are unbelievably great!!I am so happy.It was so worth it.I just wish I would have known about this along time ago.I had the punches done on a Tuesday and by the following Monday the stitches were removed.It took about another week before they were totally healed up.I cant even tell I had any acne scarring!!This was definately worth it!I have to say,I did look a little scary when the stitches were in,and was really doubting that it was going to make any difference at all,but I was wrong.Thank God!All I can see now are tiny,and I mean tiny little red dots where there used to be unsightly holes in my face.Not only that but if you buy the camoflauge foundation you cant see anything at all!!I know in my last post I mentioned Dermablend makeup........but I have found another brand that works even better and it is the consistancy of any regular foundation and is non oily.The brand is Colortration.For $15.00 they will send you about seven sample colors so that you get the exact shade for your skin tone.Their website is www.colortration.com.I also wanted to mention that there are a couple of different punches that they offer.They have the one that I had done.....punch excision,and they have another where they actually take skin grafts from behind your ear.Try to avoid that one if you can.From what I understand it can make your skin look worse than before you started.The skin that they graft to your face can leave uneven skin and later need resurfacing(big bucks and alot of pain)and the grafted skin will likely not match the skin on your face.I of course dont know what your scars look like compared to the way mine was,but if you say you have the ice pick scars the procedure that I had done should work as well for you.Like I said in the last posting,you can go to your regular dermatologist to get it done.Check around on pricing though because some doctors charge more than others.My derm.gave me a great price and said he couldnt see charging me what some of his colleagues were charging.I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope that you will be able to get this done.It is a confidence booster.Well,well worth it.Take care Gina and let me know if you do get it done and how awesome you feel afterwords!Hope to hear from you soon.
