I would do anything to get these treatments... everyday I wake up and I am so traumatized that my 24 year old face is covered in scars, all of my peers have clear beautiful skin and I find myself not even wanting to live because of the scars. I wish these treatments were covered by insurance because they are too expensive. I pray to God everyday that I can have clear scarless skin.
@@Islamicdeenodunia learning to accept myself with scars is definitely a journey… my skin is the same except I have done a few chemical peels that I think have slightly helped the scars but they’re still very much visible
I also had a hard time growing up especially in high school. Im 31 now and still have deep acne scars all over my face too. You are right, as we grow older we learn to accept who we are and how we are. Head up high beautiful 😉🙌
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim , If your ever in Pittsburgh, P.A. please contact me. I've had lasers along with fillings done. I look worse. I need someone I can trust. I love your work. I don't have money to waste . Thanks
As a person who's bee struggling with acne scars, I feel so emotional watching this video. Thank you so much for making difference in your patient's life!!
Excellent acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to have short, sweet and also to the point about what foods to prevent and boost consumption for better skin, eliminating acne. Everything is sensible. I can guarantee that this is a beneficial guide. Very informative and a good help to remove acne.
Yes, .... that say it all.. she is one cool patient as well. Some acne scar patients are negative in their out look, namely they see the scars that remain.. she is exception as she can realises the massive improvement, but also knows I can not get her skin 100% correct. She still has 2 stubborn scars on the left cheek that I had trouble fixing. Possibly INFINI with PRP under technique would have addressed these.. but she was not bothered with those scars. Dr Davin Lim
You really change a person's life with what you do, this poor girl you can see the emotion in her face. SO wonderful that you are able to help so many people with troubled skin...What a total improvement...
The first patient her skin looked beautiful. Your second patient when her mom started to get excited I want to to cry because of such beautiful results. I thought she was really pretty to begin with and the last was amazing. Always thanks for sharing.
WOW! Impressive outcome. What a joy being able to give someone such a boost in their self esteem. Truly a joy filled opportunity for you. Thanks to both you and your patient for sharing.
Thanks for viewing... the attitude of the patient really does make a HUGE impact on the outcome, so all credit to her. Seriously one great patient to treat...
I have mixed mild rolling and boxcar scars and enlarged pores and I went to a medical dermatology clinic and had a complimentary consultation and it was recommended that I get CO2 (fractional and ablative she said but not traditional CO2 and my downtime is 7 days) It is only day 4 and most of the skin has flaked off and I see pink poreless skin, and I can't see the acne scars on my cheeks after only 4 days after my first treatment. I still see my largest scar which is on my nose between my eyes. I had my full face done due to texture since I have thick skin and she passed the laser on my cheeks twice. When I asked about subsicion, they said my scars are too mild and they would not do subscision on my nose but said it will improve with three rounds of laser and recommends a filler.
You should move here to CA! You'd have plenty of patients! :D Thank you for the informative videos. I looked up the MDs you recommended in CA but I would love to save up and travel to see you for treatments. That would be the dream!
I hope you had a great time in my hometown! It's really hard to find a good specialist here in Prague when it comes to acne scar treatment, though. I wish I could find someone who has the same approach you have - from my experience so far, most dermatologists around here behave like salesmen rather than doctors.
How To Get Rid Of AcneeeeThe amaaazing clear skin secretOOOOf top models and celeeeebritiestwitter.com/294eba93273abf3e9/status/783205437302726656 Acne Scar Revision Dermatologist explains
Hi, is the erbium laser always fully-ablative? I'm confused because in this video, you state it is fully-ablative. However, my derm wants to do erbium on me and they stated it is not ablative. I'm confused. .. which is it? is there setting on the machine that can switch it to either ablative or non-ablative or are there two different erbium machines? In your opinion, is the non-ablative useful in any context for acne scars? thanks
My derm said the same thing- said it was Erbium non ablative but I guess I don’t know what that means. I did the Erbium non ablative and down time was 2 weeks. Very uncomfortable and yielded very little results for my rolling scars. I recently found someone not too far that charges $200/ hr for subcision which is the most affordable treatment and somehow the most effective.
@@Andrea-zk4yh hmm... yeah, I've heard for rolling, subcision is the best. Are you getting filler with the subcision or are you doing suctioning after? I'm having a trio of phenol cross, subcisios, and erbium done the same day (this Wednesday). I have mostly ice-pick and boxcar... with few rolling... the doc suggested filler but I'm terrified of putting filler in my body for fear that I would have a complication. But I read that without filler or suctioning, subcision doesnt do much? But I dont think thats the case with everyone. My scars arent horrible... they are maybe a 4 or 4.5 out of severity.
The person who is getting co2 laser in the video is the one in thumbnail? So she basically had all types of scars? She seems so great after the treatments! Nice job doctor !
I hope i'd find someone who have advance skill like you here in the Philippines otherwise my face would still have acne scars for life. love all your videos doc. Regards all the way from Philippines
rejoice estopa hi how's your acne scars po ? Same problem din po kasi yung akin. May alam akong clinics na nag offer ng ganitong treatments and mukhang magagaling sila.
Thanks, its about bonding with patients as well... the doctor patient relationship with trust is super important. Some patients like this woman, she is super cool with a positive outlook and trusting, and this reflects upon her personality and mine. I do get some very difficult and angry patients as well , but that is life!
I hope you will move to Sydney or melbourne as there is no direct flight to Brisbane. I pray for your health and long lived Dr Lim because i need to see you to treat my acne scars problem as well. Wait till i get enough money to pay the visits and treatments.
I need to get get treatment like this. I have yet not found a dermatologist that I can trust. Put my money and dedication for years on doctors that were not dedicated back.
Hi Dr. Davin , how can I make a contact with you regarding my acne scars? I live in Austin , Texas and I saw a doctor in here and not promising anything like you . I would appreciate if you could reply or any kinds of information.
It really sucks that we don't have anything like these treatments in Peru... there are so many options and the only things we can find is CO2 laser, which doctors have taken as the solution to every pacient
Sofia I traveled to Peru and am getting treatment in one called Biosbell in Los olivos..and they are very good...they have very different treatments including plasma plates from your own blood, Microneedlling, breaking up bonds of acne scars, chemical peeling, and of course CO2 lasers.. It is not as advanced as Dr. David but I think it is the next best thing. i have gotten great results. Cheerss
@@maximusp210 Carlitos im also from Perú. What are your final toughts about this clinic? im currently treatming my scars at DERLAMASER in Miraflores, it is very expensive tho.
Diego Ricardo Mejia Bonilla the clinic is cheaper and they very professional...although I haven’t seen much results from CO2 Laser treatments..Maybe a 15% improvement after 2 Laser treatments and a couple of mother cells injections
I don't suppose you would know someone in Texas, Austin that is as good as you are and doesn't use outdated methods? I wish i could just fly over and get treatments.
Hi doctor Lim , I am based in Sydney. I am Asian , I would like to go for the treatment for acne scar , do you know any clinic which I can visit for the treatment. I hope you can help me .
Dawn! Dr Lim you're a ninja of scars lol Great results in this video. I have a few questions for you: You could do a video about how treat hypertrophic acne scars? I'm on accutane now and i have two, one on cheek and another in nose area, next of the eyes. They are small, but i don't like them. I'd like to know to if pacients with that type of scars can do a microneedling treatment, like Infine RF. And you know if anything will be realease in 2017 for acne scars? A new laser, filler, a protocol? I know that maybe Avita Recell will receive a FDA aproval in USA, but it's nothing new, if you know what I mean.
Hello Dr Davin, I finding your channel very informative and I have just started following you. I do want to get rid my acne scars, can you please give a rough idea about the cost ? Also can you recommend a good dermatologist in Victoria if possible in Grampians region Thanks
Thanks for sharing Dr Lim, great results! Any tips for avoiding the sta and other vasculature in the temple, and have you found this area to be particularly risky?
"Filler and subcision combined gives 70-90% permanent scar reduction" @5:30. what type of filler? And does the skin build its own collagen in the space provided by filler after filler dissipates?
I lost confidence in this video at the 2:44 mark when the comparison of the before and after clearly had a dark shadow/ no lighting cast on the actual damaged affected area. You got to be kidding me. Thanks.
Aahhh her confidance just boosted through roof. You can see how happy she is she had tears in her eyes her skin looks amazing good for her very pretty girl good for her. Mines is not so bad but its there and ive gone the acid route for me but just using trentnoin 00.25% gel and my scars have fadded drasticly and my skin looks amazing. Im pre treating for tca cross cant wait i know its going be successful my face responds to well to creams acids and ointments. Just the right moisturiser and hydrating acne wash works wonders so i know its going to come out great cant wait!!!!
Hi Dr Lim, that's an amazing job you've done! Can you please recommend anyone here in WA? Also, do you apply the same procedures for Asian with brown skin?
I've been considering getting my scars removed since they've really affected my self-esteem negatively, but money is an issue for me since I'm an American.
Trying hard to see what impact I can make on medical insurance companies to recognise this as a MEDICAL CONDITION and pay for revision. They recognise skin conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo as medical, so IMO the psychological and physical scars are indeed medical. Dr Davin Lim
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim Without sounding cheesy, thank you for your efforts and your passion, I think you're a household name in this sector now! I am surprised it is not recognised or covered as the implications it has on our daily life is huge.. until today there is no way I can afford it. I contacted Dr Greg like you recommended a while ago and turns out it's a $300 fee even just for the first consultation already!! If my private health could help with this, I wouldn't be living life like a shell of myself :( thanks again! ❤️
I wish you were in the Philippines to dr lim. you're so kind and i have box scars im my side of my face like the girl had and sometimes i got stress when iam going to school
I wish you were in US. I spent over a $1000 on filler & received zero results. When I went back, they wanted me to spend another 5 grand. And gave me a only a maybe it would help some. Boy did I learn an expensive lesson!
Dr. Lim you are a miracle worker! I so wish I could have you do my back. It makes me cry when I look at it. I don't wear certain tops and definetly not bathing suits because of them. Is there anyone you could recommend in Canada? I am in Calgary, Alberta and if it's covered by Health Care I would do it. I believe you said you thought this medical as opposed to cosmetic. (mine are worse than the lovely gal on your vid.) I realize this is your profession but bless you for the work you do! Susan
Dr. Lim, Would you recommend to do treatments to 'erase' acne scars and imperfections if the patient has still problems of acne, like still having acne?. Thanks. Kind Regards from Mexico city, Mexico.
Yes scar revision due to inflammation on the face covered if performed by Plastic or Dermatologist not under Cosmetic GPs or Cosmetic Physicians, only Specialists.80% of the fee was covered. Davin Lim
Hi David, your work seems amazing. I have mixed acne scarring and have not long had a co2 laser which seems to have made my scars worse do you find this is common? Also as you're very unfortunately for me based in Australia would you atall recommend any dermatologists within the U.K. If known? Thank you, commenting for a cry for help really. Alice x
Wer can I find him n how much will it cost i know it's impossible for me to reach to him but still I m hoping I get myself life as my life is hell coz of all the ugly scars 😭😭😭😪😪
Hello, I live in San Diego and my options right now are between Dr. Goldman and Melanie Palm. I have mixed scarring but primarily tethered and rolling scars, and I'm convinced that Infini RF and subcision are probably the best bet for most of my improvement. Are you aware if Goldman has much experience with Infini? I do know he is a very seasoned doctor and probably produces great results with lasers and whatnot, but I'm interested in Melanie because she is a high rated doctor in San Diego and also the first person to receive training with Infini in the U.S so I'm sure she knows what she is doing with that machine.
OK, I personally know the CA doctors well, and their techniques... like Steve Jobs says 'many doors to the same destination'. I am not THE answer, however I have developed my own technique. Guys like Goldman, Kilmer, Zachary are far far far more senior in their training and experience than I am, so rest assured, you will be in good hands. Let them guide you. Goldman has the Lumens, super duper powerful laser (getting a similar output in 6 weeks, ) so if he can implement that for YOUR scars, you will get a result. Be guided by the best, and certainly Goldman rates as one of the top dermatologists, as well as Emer, Kilmer and Zachary in CA . You are lucky to be in the State with the best in the World. Davin Lim.
Thanks Davin, I'm just looking for someone with a lot of Infini experience because I have asian skin and hyper/hypopigmentation really concerns me. I'll go ahead and try to schedule a consultation with him and see what he says.
Hi there! I'm from San Diego as well and recently had a consultation with Dr. Melanie's Office. I was also interested in the infini but they suggested ResurFX =( If you do decide to make a consultation with their office, try to schedule it with Dr. Melanie herself and not the nurse. The consultation fee is a little pricey though, I believe its $150 to see Dr. Melanie but it may be worth it! Good Luck!
Thanks for the advice Elaine! I definitely want to get Infini treatments first because I think ResurFX is mainly for texture issues or very shallow scars. I've seen some of your videos before, how effective was TCA cross for you? I only have a couple ice picks so I plan on dealing with those after the larger dents.
Dr. Lim, how can you do a before and after comparison in which the "after" picture has almost all of the lower half of her cheek in the shadow??? It is impossible to see the actual results. Please don't kid us like this. We are not that stupid. I am highly disappointed in you.
TrueCerulean, vector filling changes the angles of the cheek and facial features. . There are no scars 'hiding under the shadows. If I were to change the angle of that light to highlight the lower cheek, then the upper cheek can not be seen, nor the temples. This is how I explain angled lighting to everyone, including specialist doctors at my level. Firstly patient can be in a fixed position. That can be standardised. Lighting however has to come from a different angle. How do I 'FIX' a 3 Dimensional light in space to get that very same angle? I can get close but the vector XYZ can not be pin pointed within a specific time frame. The patients head MUST also be fixed, no movement, not even 5 mm or lighting will not be the same. If I were to use standard photography (Canfield ), this has no angled lighting, hence it changes all perspective of finding the scars. Hope this explains the difficulty of standardised lighting when vectors are changed due to volume displacement of skin, and XYZ vectors of lighting. Dr Davin Lim
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim Come on, Dr. Lim. We are all adults here with fully functioning sight. We can all see that the overwhelming majority of her scars are in the lower half of her cheek. How was it a good idea to have that essential part of her cheek in the dark? If I look close enough at the darkness, I can see the scars. And please don't tell me the shadows show improved scars or anything of the like. I am well aware of how angled lighting works and there is no excuse for that half of her face to be in the dark. Please Dr. Lim, get a FAIR after picture. As someone who follows your page, I just hate the thought of you being manipulative.
TrueCerulean OMG..are you kidding me? pretty sure Dr Lee isn't trying to scam us ...in fact I find it insulting you even made the comment. His videos are educational and he helps so many people. you better not watch his next video. ..I'm sure you won't like it!
julie Butterworth I am stating facts about the pictures. As an acne scar sufferer, I have experience with manipulative before and after pictures. Hiding the part of someone's face that has the most scarring doesn't show us what the "improvement" in that area was like. Dr. Lim can easily show us that part if it's not an issue.
Just for you... you have driven me to make more videos with Before and Afters, as request - all angles, all lights, different devices, etc...etc...etc.. not tying to con you guys, just help. I know how frustrating it is dealing with scars, I see 10-15 acne scar patients per day, so fully acknowledge what you say. DL
Hi David, I heard in the previous video that you're in Brisbane Australia right? If so, could you please provide an address or contact number of your clinic? I'd like to visit and get treatment for my acne scars. Thank you
I am employed by Westside Dermatology. Phone is 07 3871 34 37, if you could get a referral as I am a specialist. Will see you in 2017. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I have question, what is the best treatment for body pigmentations? Is the chemical peels the best solution? If it is , what is the best chemical peel for your suggestion?
Juvederm, Resylane, and Bellafill are reabsorbed after six months. Does Miss Issy have to return to you every six months to have the fillers reinjected?
Laser and Lifts by Dr Darvin Lim - how much are this treatment, I have really bad scaring after suffering from years of terrible acne? any locations in Chicago?
I would do anything to get these treatments... everyday I wake up and I am so traumatized that my 24 year old face is covered in scars, all of my peers have clear beautiful skin and I find myself not even wanting to live because of the scars. I wish these treatments were covered by insurance because they are too expensive. I pray to God everyday that I can have clear scarless skin.

I need to get get treatment like this. I have yet not found a dermatologist that I can trust. Put my money and dedication for years on doctors that were not dedicated back.
will she eventually be able to stop getting fillers and have enough collagen production to fix the tethered scarring?
that was my aim... hence the subcision in the beginning and the Co2 to stimulate her own collagen... that is combination therapy. DL

Thank you in advance ☺️
Dawn! Dr Lim you're a ninja of scars lol Great results in this video. I have a few questions for you:
You could do a video about how treat hypertrophic acne scars? I'm on accutane now and i have two, one on cheek and another in nose area, next of the eyes. They are small, but i don't like them. I'd like to know to if pacients with that type of scars can do a microneedling treatment, like Infine RF. And you know if anything will be realease in 2017 for acne scars? A new laser, filler, a protocol? I know that maybe Avita Recell will receive a FDA aproval in USA, but it's nothing new, if you know what I mean.
your Videos have inspired me so much! I am saving up to do a esthetician course!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Noone does that!!
Thanks, DL
It says in the vid filler and subcision leads to permanent change but I thought fillers were temporary? Unless you’re using permanent ones?
So amazing. Happy for you and your patient. It’s such a great sense of achievement to be able to improve someone’s quality of life
Hello Dr Davin,
I finding your channel very informative and I have just started following you. I do want to get rid my acne scars, can you please give a rough idea about the cost ? Also can you recommend a good dermatologist in Victoria if possible in Grampians region
Thanks
she looks fantastic!
after a TCA what kind of healing serums would you put on your face to heal it quickly and for best results?
Thanks for sharing Dr Lim, great results! Any tips for avoiding the sta and other vasculature in the temple, and have you found this area to be particularly risky?
I want this treatment where is your clinic
hello Dr. Lim, i wanted to ask you. How do you treat red acne scars?
"Filler and subcision combined gives 70-90% permanent scar reduction" @5:30. what type of filler? And does the skin build its own collagen in the space provided by filler after filler dissipates?
Filler depends on scar, PubMed latest on filler stimulation of elastin.
Amazing! If someone does get fillers for acne scars how often do they need to get it redone?
some fillers are permanent..others last up to 2 years or more
I lost confidence in this video at the 2:44 mark when the comparison of the before and after clearly had a dark shadow/ no lighting cast on the actual damaged affected area. You got to be kidding me. Thanks.
I'm from the Philippines and damn, I would love to go to your place someday to get treatment.
Aahhh her confidance just boosted through roof. You can see how happy she is she had tears in her eyes her skin looks amazing good for her very pretty girl good for her. Mines is not so bad but its there and ive gone the acid route for me but just using trentnoin 00.25% gel and my scars have fadded drasticly and my skin looks amazing. Im pre treating for tca cross cant wait i know its going be successful my face responds to well to creams acids and ointments. Just the right moisturiser and hydrating acne wash works wonders so i know its going to come out great cant wait!!!!
For the treatment how much have. ......... Dr davin. ..I really need your help
Hi Dr Lim, that's an amazing job you've done!
Can you please recommend anyone here in WA?
Also, do you apply the same procedures for Asian with brown skin?
I've been considering getting my scars removed since they've really affected my self-esteem negatively, but money is an issue for me since I'm an American.
Sigh.. Dr. Davin, I think I'll have to arrange to fly up to Brisbane to see you over the next year. You have no idea how much I need this
Trying hard to see what impact I can make on medical insurance companies to recognise this as a MEDICAL CONDITION and pay for revision. They recognise skin conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo as medical, so IMO the psychological and physical scars are indeed medical. Dr Davin Lim
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim Without sounding cheesy, thank you for your efforts and your passion, I think you're a household name in this sector now! I am surprised it is not recognised or covered as the implications it has on our daily life is huge.. until today there is no way I can afford it. I contacted Dr Greg like you recommended a while ago and turns out it's a $300 fee even just for the first consultation already!! If my private health could help with this, I wouldn't be living life like a shell of myself :( thanks again! ❤️
Wow, Doc. Your light saber works just fine. Really life changing work. :)
Do you have a clinic here in the Philippines?
Great sir
you just gave her a new life😇
Does fillers go away with time and age? So you might need to redo the fillers?
I wish you were in the Philippines to dr lim. you're so kind and i have box scars im my side of my face like the girl had and sometimes i got stress when iam going to school
ace lawrence
I think there are famous dermathologist in ph like belo or kalayan, why don't you try it
Do you have any affiliated company in Edmonton, Canada?
Thank you, you just gave me hope.
I wish you were in US. I spent over a $1000 on filler & received zero results. When I went back, they wanted me to spend another 5 grand. And gave me a only a maybe it would help some. Boy did I learn an expensive lesson!
Dr. Lim you are a miracle worker! I so wish I could have you do my back. It makes me cry when I look at it. I don't wear certain tops and definetly not bathing suits because of them. Is there anyone you could recommend in Canada? I am in Calgary, Alberta and if it's covered by Health Care I would do it.
I believe you said you thought this medical as opposed to cosmetic. (mine are worse than the lovely gal on your vid.)
I realize this is your profession but bless you for the work you do!
Susan
Dr. Lim, Would you recommend to do treatments to 'erase' acne scars and imperfections if the patient has still problems of acne, like still having acne?.
Thanks.
Kind Regards from Mexico city, Mexico.
LillyRocks desde el planeta Tierra. stop eat milk, vegetal oil, and sugar
what kind of filler is it please answer and fillers will be gone after 6 months to 1 year?
Hi doctor I have similar scars on my cheeks....which filler would you recommend for me ?
The important thing is how much did it cost. I am pretty sure this would not have been covered by insurance in Australia.
Yes scar revision due to inflammation on the face covered if performed by Plastic or Dermatologist not under Cosmetic GPs or Cosmetic Physicians, only Specialists.80% of the fee was covered. Davin Lim
Hello DL. What do you think about pixel laser treatment? Is it really that effective for pitted scars ? Im hoping for ur reply.
She looks totally different! Good Job!
Thanks, Davin Lim
Hi David, your work seems amazing. I have mixed acne scarring and have not long had a co2 laser which seems to have made my scars worse do you find this is common? Also as you're very unfortunately for me based in Australia would you atall recommend any dermatologists within the U.K. If known? Thank you, commenting for a cry for help really. Alice x
Wer can I find him n how much will it cost i know it's impossible for me to reach to him but still I m hoping I get myself life as my life is hell coz of all the ugly scars 😭😭😭😪😪
Hello, I live in San Diego and my options right now are between Dr. Goldman and Melanie Palm. I have mixed scarring but primarily tethered and rolling scars, and I'm convinced that Infini RF and subcision are probably the best bet for most of my improvement. Are you aware if Goldman has much experience with Infini? I do know he is a very seasoned doctor and probably produces great results with lasers and whatnot, but I'm interested in Melanie because she is a high rated doctor in San Diego and also the first person to receive training with Infini in the U.S so I'm sure she knows what she is doing with that machine.
OK, I personally know the CA doctors well, and their techniques... like Steve Jobs says 'many doors to the same destination'. I am not THE answer, however I have developed my own technique. Guys like Goldman, Kilmer, Zachary are far far far more senior in their training and experience than I am, so rest assured, you will be in good hands. Let them guide you. Goldman has the Lumens, super duper powerful laser (getting a similar output in 6 weeks, ) so if he can implement that for YOUR scars, you will get a result. Be guided by the best, and certainly Goldman rates as one of the top dermatologists, as well as Emer, Kilmer and Zachary in CA . You are lucky to be in the State with the best in the World. Davin Lim.
Thanks Davin, I'm just looking for someone with a lot of Infini experience because I have asian skin and hyper/hypopigmentation really concerns me. I'll go ahead and try to schedule a consultation with him and see what he says.
Hi there! I'm from San Diego as well and recently had a consultation with Dr. Melanie's Office. I was also interested in the infini but they suggested ResurFX =( If you do decide to make a consultation with their office, try to schedule it with Dr. Melanie herself and not the nurse. The consultation fee is a little pricey though, I believe its $150 to see Dr. Melanie but it may be worth it! Good Luck!
Thanks for the advice Elaine! I definitely want to get Infini treatments first because I think ResurFX is mainly for texture issues or very shallow scars. I've seen some of your videos before, how effective was TCA cross for you? I only have a couple ice picks so I plan on dealing with those after the larger dents.
Dr davin will you recommend dr lee for laser procedures like this
Dr. Lim, how can you do a before and after comparison in which the "after" picture has almost all of the lower half of her cheek in the shadow??? It is impossible to see the actual results. Please don't kid us like this. We are not that stupid. I am highly disappointed in you.
TrueCerulean, vector filling changes the angles of the cheek and facial features. . There are no scars 'hiding under the shadows. If I were to change the angle of that light to highlight the lower cheek, then the upper cheek can not be seen, nor the temples. This is how I explain angled lighting to everyone, including specialist doctors at my level. Firstly patient can be in a fixed position. That can be standardised. Lighting however has to come from a different angle. How do I 'FIX' a 3 Dimensional light in space to get that very same angle? I can get close but the vector XYZ can not be pin pointed within a specific time frame. The patients head MUST also be fixed, no movement, not even 5 mm or lighting will not be the same. If I were to use standard photography (Canfield ), this has no angled lighting, hence it changes all perspective of finding the scars. Hope this explains the difficulty of standardised lighting when vectors are changed due to volume displacement of skin, and XYZ vectors of lighting. Dr Davin Lim
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim
Come on, Dr. Lim. We are all adults here with fully functioning sight. We can all see that the overwhelming majority of her scars are in the lower half of her cheek. How was it a good idea to have that essential part of her cheek in the dark? If I look close enough at the darkness, I can see the scars. And please don't tell me the shadows show improved scars or anything of the like. I am well aware of how angled lighting works and there is no excuse for that half of her face to be in the dark. Please Dr. Lim, get a FAIR after picture. As someone who follows your page, I just hate the thought of you being manipulative.
TrueCerulean OMG..are you kidding me? pretty sure Dr Lee isn't trying to scam us ...in fact I find it insulting you even made the comment. His videos are educational and he helps so many people. you better not watch his next video. ..I'm sure you won't like it!
julie Butterworth I am stating facts about the pictures. As an acne scar sufferer, I have experience with manipulative before and after pictures. Hiding the part of someone's face that has the most scarring doesn't show us what the "improvement" in that area was like. Dr. Lim can easily show us that part if it's not an issue.
Just for you... you have driven me to make more videos with Before and Afters, as request - all angles, all lights, different devices, etc...etc...etc.. not tying to con you guys, just help. I know how frustrating it is dealing with scars, I see 10-15 acne scar patients per day, so fully acknowledge what you say. DL
Do you know any doctor in sydney use the same method ? I cant go to brisbane
Hi doctor i watch all of ur video. I am having boxcar scar on my face. Which is suitable treatment for me? Ple advice me.
Hi David, I heard in the previous video that you're in Brisbane Australia right? If so, could you please provide an address or contact number of your clinic? I'd like to visit and get treatment for my acne scars. Thank you
I am employed by Westside Dermatology. Phone is 07 3871 34 37, if you could get a referral as I am a specialist. Will see you in 2017. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I have question, what is the best treatment for body pigmentations? Is the chemical peels the best solution? If it is , what is the best chemical peel for your suggestion?
Which state of Australia do you provide these treatments! Great video but away!
Thanks, I am in Brisbane, Australia. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
What is the price of a procedure like these
Juvederm, Resylane, and Bellafill are reabsorbed after six months. Does Miss Issy have to return to you every six months to have the fillers reinjected?
Nope, I use filler as a spacer. The main mode of scar removal is subcision. So all done.
Dr lim sir plz open your one clinic in India .... give treatment here...
What filler did you use? Bellafill?
Why the hell does Johnson city Tennessee suck so bad with this kind of treatment?!
So educational. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge! Specially for ppl like us that are looking to get treatment for acne scars.
Yes, great patient !
How soon after treatment is Lizzy able to wear makeup and what is the cost for her procedure? I take insurance doesn't cover for this procedure right?
Medicare does... cover a portion. Depends on what I do on the day, special make up called Lycogel means back to work in no time. Davin Lim
Hi Dr.! Any Dr.s you know in Kentucky and/or Ohio EEUU you would recommend for acne scars?
Hi doctor Lim, I live in Orange County California. What dermatologist do you recommend? I would love your expertise. thanks.
Dr Chris Zachary is a great dermatologist, all the best, Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.

Hi Dr Lim

Thanks
