Very long 21 min (shortened) version of how to examine acne scars, and how to treat.

DR Davin Lim, Laser Dermatologist Brisbane, Australia.
+Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim dr David, i did 2 session of glycolic peel from a dermatologist but didn't really see any result. he has told to do 2 more. last he used 35 % glycolic acid. let me tell you, i dont have acne but my marks are all spreaded over my face which are not noticeable much. but in natural light and it seems like my face is covered with dark spots. what do you suggest will i see any noticeable results after 2 more glycolic peel? and 1 more thing my skin is really tough and thick. please help
+pageantgrosvenor Thanks for that. I think the industry needs a real wake up as to what is best for patients, and how to approach scars. Thanks for your positive comments, much appreciated Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist

Hello Doc, Great job 👏 Where are you located please ? I live in Mauritius 🇲🇺 and unfortunately we don’t have specialist like you here but would like to have some help as my acne scars are getting worse and worse. To note that I àm a student currently studying its kind of difficult to afford those treatment at the moment I am still saving money. Thank you for your time and consideration.
It is very relieving when you are struggling desperately to find some answers, a man shows up all of sudden to answer all your burning questions......... a big THANK YOU for you
As a person who has suffered from some very painful skin conditions including Hidradenitis Supperativa, I love watching dermatological treatment videos. Yours are so informative. I'm looking forward to seeing many more in the future.
This is THE MOST informative and helpful video I have EVER discovered on the subject! THANK YOU! I was extremely confused on what treatment was necessary for me. My dermatologist even suggested the CO2 treatment a few years ago but it looks as if that may not be the correct treatment for me. Thank you!!!!
+Janae Lucero Thanks for your complements, much appreciated. Yes, technology is moving along with scars. Low downtime procedure such as subcision and dermal fillers with energy based micro needling and PRP is the future.

I have been looking for years for proper treatment for my daughters acne scarring (she developed cystic acne at 14, tried antibiotics and even accutane- which lasted as long as she was on it)..and have not felt positive about any office/procedure enough to begin treatment. This video is very informative. Do you have any referrals in the state of Florida? Most offices I am researching deal primarily with anti aging and not specifically with acne, and probably don't analyze and take the considerations you do to determine treatment. You must really be changing lives...living with acne scars is a horrible thing. Thank you for this. It has given me useful information.
Dr Steve Weiner. Plastics. Excellent. Sorry I took so long to answer. 15 million viewers on this channel, and 56,000 subscribers, so may take me months to answer every single question. DL
I called his office weeks ago! about 4 hours away!. We did get some CO2 for her but I did not see any improvement and he had her 10 days on antibiotics after which is not a good thing for acne sufferers since it causes issues. I did got o someone Dr weiner recommended but it seems that INFINITY alone doesn't do that much for the scarring. More for tightening the skin which makes the scars "appear" less. I did go to Dr Pozner in Boca who uses the INFINITY.(Or is it INFINI?)He also wanted almost 5,000.00 for one treatment. It is a huge gamble so we went with CO2. No one that I have spoken to in Florida uses CO2 PLUS Infini which is what you seem to recommend, and not as invasive. Just a few days of redness. We have to decide whether we will do the Co2 again. I dont like the 10 days of antibiotics (oh and also an antifungal) afterwards. It's not easy...
Hi Dr Davin Lim, thank you for uploading such an informative video on the different types of treatments available for acne scarring. I'm glad that there is an Aussie professional sharing this type of content online. Ive struggled with acne in my teens and back then I was always so self conscious at anyone looking at it or making comments on it which made me so down and embarrassed that I feared seeing the specialist for help. I delayed seeing a dermatologist well into my mid twenties (which I was then prescribed Roaccutane, it helped clear the bad cyst type acne). I had asked about acne scarring treatments and the response the dermatologist gave me was "we will talk about it later" even after I told him twice that I wanted to know if there was any kind of treatments out there. Because of his reply, it made me feel that there were no treatments out there for acne scarring removal. I should have found another specialist to see and speak to. Now years later, though I don't pick at my skin I don't know why new acne scars always seem to keep appearing. Why does this happen? It does depress me as I wish I had good skin. Can you tell me if any of the acne scarring treatments covered by Medicare? I would love to see you for a consultation though I am based in Sydney. Do you have a sister office in NSW?
+Lily Nguyen Dr Adrian Lim (no relation) is one of the best dermatologist for acne scarring, he lives and practices (uRepublic) in Sydney. I call him SIFU as he taught me a lot of things. Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist Brisbane, Australia.
You give me hope Dr.Lim wish I could have that treatment someday. Ever since Ive longing that kind of treatment. Wish you here in canada. God bless. Amazing video!!!!
Thanks for putting this video out there, Dr Lim - very educational and gives me hope for my skin! I've been an acne sufferer for about 15 years and have a mixture of icepick and rolling scars as well as loss of tone on my Fitzpatrick type 4 skin. I've been at my wit's end trying to find a knowledgeable derm who can perform an intelligent analysis like you did and give me a good treatment plan instead of the old "let's Fraxel it and see what happens" approach. I know you practice in Australia but is there any chance you can recommend a good knowledgeable derm / plastic surgeon in the USA (even better in the midwest area around Chicago IL or Milwaukee WI)?
+Jezebel James Thanks for your comment. There are some really good dermatologists in the US- the best for acne scar revision would be Dr Chris Zachary or Dr Sue Kilmer- both I ve learned from. In fact the US leads the way in regards to procedures and fillers such as Bellafill, I often goto the US to learn, and bring back my skills to oz. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Are you like me who feels hopeless with my acne scars. I just feel that it has been a part of my personality, I've been into fractional lasers and needling. How can I have my smooth skin back. 😭
+Reaper Drakulis Once again- depends on your scar type. I have 3 Fraxel lasers but honestly, unless a patient INSISTS on Fraxel, I do believe there are far, far, far better devices. Fraxel is like a tool, good for lots of things but not the best for acne scars. Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist, Brisbane, Australia.
I have ice pick scars on my cheeks and have watched your video with the tca cross although I do not have lots of scars but they are enough to want to try to improve their appearance so I would like to try myself the procedure you recommend. How long do you leave the tca on the scars and how often can I repeat the procedure? . I have got the tca acid along with neutralising gel and the moisture cream. Your procedure looks just like what I need for my scars.
Best advice, - see a Specialist, this is not a DIY home procedure, the concentration of acid is so strong it can either worsen scars (wrongly treated or identified scars) or cause third degree burns. I have safe DIY videos, using TCA at close to 100% is definitely not one of them.... all the best, and stay safe. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
That’s nothings i can do to remove acne scars it improves but not so much and still there TCA-4x Prp injection-3x Rejulax laser-4x Rejuran S-15x Laser Co2 -12x Subcision-3x Filler-3x Punch extension sugery -1x Year 2022-2024 i have spent my money $28.300 thousand so far 😭😭😭
I have facing acne scar stress from 9 years...tried all roller , micro needle and accupunture but no use .. im lower middle class but I spent my whole salary to cure this but still I'm trying to cure my pblm there s no proper improvement .... if possible give me any suggestion and help me please
pooja chithu have you try microneedling treatment? I also have a scar, since high school. I stop my facial routine in beauty clinic then i buy MyM, vit c, serum for scar,,and i can see the result after 5-6x..
+Reaper Drakulis Politely hard to advice as I have not seen your scars, plus I don't want to step on any toes , especially my colleagues. My best advice is to find the best solution to your scars. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail... if you get my drift. I am lucky to work in a place where I have 3 Fraxels, 2 Co2 laser, Erbium lasers, 3 RF devices and many more equipment. This means I am fortunate to enough to have the options of treatments, and match a treatment according to the scar type and skin type. I don't think I unique in this approach, just lucky to have access to all the devices, and hence get OK results. All the best Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist Brisbane Australia.
Can someone explain to me what is the meaning of: "... in the same plane". I hear Dr Lim saying "here we have boxcar scaring in the same plane", but I don't understand what he means by that.
Holy crap, this video was so informative. Thank you! I live in Sweden, and unfortunate we don't have a lot of this kind of dermatology here (aesthetic dermatology) :( I will definitely subscribe and look for more videos from you!! Also, in the before and after pictures it would be much more helpful if you took the after photo in the same lightning and the same angle.
I love your methods. You are a Godsend. If only I can travel or move to Aus I would love to be a patient. Is there anyone in the States that can do these methods as well. I've tried looking but I don't think any derms do subcision, not sure y. Or I just haven't found one that will. I have some tethered n rolling scars that if like to fix.
Ana it is almost impossible to find Doctors like David in the US...It’s all about money 💰 here..I am willing to fly to Australia just to have a session with him
I'm from Vietnam, I had a laser treatment (co2 fractional) 6 months ago but the result makes me too disapointed, ances scars remain unchanged although it took me over a month to get rid of severe sweling and redness. Is it possible to have a second treatment doctor? I'm afraid my skin becomes weaker and will be unable to tolarate any other type of treatment.
Depends on Medicare in Australia, and also your threshold limit, and if you have International Medical Insurance. Cost vary widely. All the best Dr Davin Lim
Hi to all young men and women who have a problem with acne. I am 21 years old, and since I turned 13, I suddenly got terrible acne all over my body. I tried virtually all cures but it didn’t help. I even tried every diet I heard of but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with health problems besides acne. My last hope was to try laser treatment and when that failed too, it seemed there is no cure. Then I run across this link. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and the advices from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 8 days I had first results and after 8 weeks my skin was finally clean. All this thanks to secrets from this site.
And my "very smart" dermatologist says nothing really works with my mild scars. He only operated Photo Dynamic Therapy which burned a hole in my pocket and did absolutely nothing, then bombarded me with light chemical peels that also don't do the slightest of a progress (because they only target the surface and discoloration not the pits in the epidermis) with brightening serums.Thank you, Dr. Lim for the very informative video. You gave me hope.
+MissLil Nova Yes, sorry to hear.... Im going to do a video on PDT for acne in the next 3 weeks, so stay tuned. Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist Brisbane, Australia.
Thank you doc for this video. I have done 2times of dermapen treatment. It really helps to fade away my rolling scar. Currently saving some money to do treatment for my PIE, PIH, icepick and boxscar.
+Brenda Hughes Thanks for that. Hope that clarifies things for everyone out there.. its never the device, but the METHOD that gives the best results. Dr Davin Lim
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but how long after the TCA treatment were the final "after" photos taken. Do the full TCA results look like such a week after or more like a month or more of healing/collagen regeneration?
Thank you, no... there are lots of great doctors, trust me... those whom I learned my skills from are the teachers, and all I do is pass it on. Seriously. Cheers for your comment though. Cheers Dr Davin Lim
Hello Dr. Davin Lim, I was been suffered by bad acne scars for many years. From my 15 to now my 30. I am in the US now I'd like to know how can I set up an appointment with you? If the US medicare works in Australia?
Waw the best treatments for aqne scar ive seen so far because you have different treatments for each diferent type of aqnes, thats excellent. Where is your location? Im in indonesia
+dodooow If they are truely hypertrophic, I use CO2 Fractional and steroid drip, or straight forward injections. If they are soft, these area actually atrophic- some patients and doctors think they are hypertrophic just because they are raised. in this case I use CO2 fractional combined with INFINI RF micro needling. Cheers Dr Davin Lim Brisbane, Australia.
+Body comp Indeed welcome. I think there is so much confusion and BULL SHIT in the scar revision industry, some one needed to clarify things. Glad to help. Cheers Dr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologist Brisbane, Australia
l live in South Africa and this is the first and only video that gives one hope. However l do not know anyyone here who is as knowledgeable as you. l am seriously considering taking the long flight to Brisbane to get treated by u
+Lorraine Reddy Goto realaself.com and see if there are any dermatologist in SA that perform scar revision at my level. Most patients don't realise that if you have multiple scar types ONE visit won't do, its like orthodontic work...many treatments over 6-12 months to get the BEST results. The only exception is with shallow box car scars ...one session of laser and its done. Dr Davin Lim Brisbane, Australia.
Hi Dr Lim, you are a genius :). I live in toronto, canada. Its really sad that no doctor here perform scar specific treatments like tca cross and subcision. they are just interested in making money and perform lasers with mediocre results :( couple questions for you: 1. do you do online consultations? 2. what kind of surgical pen do you use? is it safe to do ablative lasers on the areas marked with surgical pen?
+K Gupta Sorry, no online consults ... medical insurance stuff. There should be good dermatologist and plastics in Toronto.. .big city. All the best, Davin Lim Brisbane ( small place in Australia)
Very Informative video Dr Lim. It give hope to people like me who are suffering from severe acne scarring. Please do suggest if you know any acne scar removal specialist in India or Texas, US
Specific... 60-70% of my work is on scarring, I don't even see acne anymore, and stopped rashes 6 years ago. It is a very niche field. Dr Philip Bekhor and Assoc Prof Greg Goodman in Melbourne are great, and taught me some of my skills, probably closer to you as well. Davin Lim
dr. Lim I have done co2 fractional laser in dermatologist. I satisfy with the results but at some point it's like they're leaving slightly white burn scars. I prefer microneedling with the dermapen, it worked better than lasers.
by far the best video i have watched on the subject. i have recently done an EndyMed 3deep fractional resurfacing radio frequency microneedle. there wasn't much pain honestly, downtime wasn't too bad, it was a week, and i have noticed a lot of improvement. i have large pores, pitted marks, boxed marks, and the redness. my forehead and chin are clear, i only got this on my cheeks and sides of my jaw. i dont have any bumps, and it seems the 3deep treatment has made my collagen thicker. she suggests 2 more treatments. i hope it looks as nice as what you have done!
Thanks you for your complemets, I really do appreciate all the support. I think patient education is the most important aspect of scar revision. Trying to clean up the industry of lasers and 'selling' treatments - instead of science and focusing on individual treatments for THAT patient. Thanks once again. Dr Davin Lim
This is the most detailed video on acne scars that I've watched. Everything was discussed thoroughly. I just subscribed to your channel. :) thanks for making this.👍
Very informative, covering many treatment options. Thank you for educating people on what is such a common problem (acne scarring). Please continue your videos.
I have the same scars in 1:43 how much it cost to get the fully ablative erbium & fractional? because i'm gonna travel to Australia for this amazing job you do.. I need to know how much it cost so I can get ready for it please.
Need to assess in real life .... if you go to www.lasersandlifts.com.au go to the contact page, there is a list of Specialist around the World who perform the very same procedures I do.. probably better as I learned from them as well. Cheers, Davin Lim
Hey Dr. Lim, thanks for your videos. Very professional and informative. Was wondering if you could recommend an acne scar specialist in the Charlotte, North Carolina (USA) area? Please and thank you.
+Lise Bakke Koreans have an excellent reputation for being World Class dermatologist, lots of my methods - TCA CROSS, Infini RF, ematrix all come from Korea. All the best - Dr Davin Lim

Hi Dr. Davin, Can I just ask if you know a good acne scar expert in Manila,Philippines? Because I've undergone a lot of lasers and treatments to my scars and none seems to work. If all the doctors is just as skillfull and as caring as you it would be awesome. Seeing your work gives me hope that someday I'll bring back the smile to my face. Thank you very much!
+wonkawilly Sorry. Best guys are in Singapore (Prof CL GOH), also Dr Wei Lim in Penang Malaysia. (esp for fillers, not so much for latest in lasers) Dr Davin Lim Brisbane Australia.
+wonkawilly The same with me. I start to cry when i watched this video cuz is so hard for me. Now i have a littl bit of hope that my skin have a chance to be beautiful again.
Hi. Is there a chance I can get in touch with you? I'm struggling with acne from the age of 11, I am 26 now, and I'm left with tons of scars. The problem is that there is no chance for me to come to Australia, since I live in Europe. I was wondering if I could send some photos of my scars, so you could guide me on wich treatment I should take. Thanks!
i never wanna be under indirect lighting in my life…
Thats the way I find the scars, hence the high success rate. I use lighting to my advantage. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
I know the feeling! I am so self conscious in any overhead lighting - spot lights are the worst!
I know that feeling... Many people don't know what it's like to suffer from acne scarring.

I know you practice in Australia but is there any chance you can recommend a good knowledgeable derm / plastic surgeon in the USA (even better in the midwest area around Chicago IL or Milwaukee WI)?
+Jezebel James Thanks for your comment. There are some really good dermatologists in the US- the best for acne scar revision would be Dr Chris Zachary or Dr Sue Kilmer- both I ve learned from. In fact the US leads the way in regards to procedures and fillers such as Bellafill, I often goto the US to learn, and bring back my skills to oz. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
+Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim Thanks Dr Lim for taking the time to reply to my question. You're awesome !
please dont make fun of me but are there any health risks because of the laser treatment?
Are you like me who feels hopeless with my acne scars. I just feel that it has been a part of my personality, I've been into fractional lasers and needling. How can I have my smooth skin back. 😭
@J.Marlene pwede siguro po fractional co2 laser tapos chemical peel po

hey id like a honest opinion i have acne scars ,,am a 25 old male ,do u recommend fraxel treatment
+Reaper Drakulis Once again- depends on your scar type. I have 3 Fraxel lasers but honestly, unless a patient INSISTS on Fraxel, I do believe there are far, far, far better devices. Fraxel is like a tool, good for lots of things but not the best for acne scars.

I have ice pick scars on my cheeks and have watched your video with the tca cross although I do not have lots of scars but they are enough to want to try to improve their appearance so I would like to try myself the procedure you recommend. How long do you leave the tca on the scars and how often can I repeat the procedure? . I have got the tca acid along with neutralising gel and the moisture cream. Your procedure looks just like what I need for my scars.
Best advice, - see a Specialist, this is not a DIY home procedure, the concentration of acid is so strong it can either worsen scars (wrongly treated or identified scars) or cause third degree burns. I have safe DIY videos, using TCA at close to 100% is definitely not one of them.... all the best, and stay safe. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
That’s nothings i can do to remove acne scars it improves but not so much and still there
TCA-4x
Prp injection-3x
Rejulax laser-4x
Rejuran S-15x
Laser Co2 -12x
Subcision-3x
Filler-3x
Punch extension sugery -1x
Year 2022-2024 i have spent my money $28.300 thousand so far 😭😭😭
I have facing acne scar stress from 9 years...tried all roller , micro needle and accupunture but no use .. im lower middle class but I spent my whole salary to cure this but still I'm trying to cure my pblm there s no proper improvement .... if possible give me any suggestion and help me please
Yes, see a good dermatologist near you... they will guide you.
pooja chithu have you try microneedling treatment? I also have a scar, since high school. I stop my facial routine in beauty clinic then i buy MyM, vit c, serum for scar,,and i can see the result after 5-6x..
Hey puja same here m bhi asi pareshani se juj rahi hun ...is it possible to go and meet dr lim...can hv ur contact no sharing my feelings
Best is laser treatment.... Try laser
Try laser treatment it helps a lot.
my dermatologist has adviced me fraxel,,as noted i have rolled scars,,what do u suggest
+Reaper Drakulis Politely hard to advice as I have not seen your scars, plus I don't want to step on any toes , especially my colleagues. My best advice is to find the best solution to your scars. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail... if you get my drift. I am lucky to work in a place where I have 3 Fraxels, 2 Co2 laser, Erbium lasers, 3 RF devices and many more equipment. This means I am fortunate to enough to have the options of treatments, and match a treatment according to the scar type and skin type. I don't think I unique in this approach, just lucky to have access to all the devices, and hence get OK results. All the best

how much does the 1st treatment coast?
This is incredible. I've been battling these scars for years now so I hope we'll have these treatments in the Philippines.
Always advancing in scar treatments. Cheers Davin Lim
How about recommendation in New Zealand!! I wish I can come see you T_T
It’s so rare to find a doctor that specializes in acne scar revision. Most doctors don’t know dittly about it and will just recommend lasers.
Your work is amazing, I wish you were in India, would love to be treated by you.
Thanks again for sharing your work.
+TheFreezonite Thanks fro your support
Dr Davin Lim
Can someone explain to me what is the meaning of:
"... in the same plane".
I hear Dr Lim saying "here we have boxcar scaring in the same plane", but I don't understand what he means by that.
Means they lie on a straight plane underneath the top of skin
Holy crap, this video was so informative. Thank you! I live in Sweden, and unfortunate we don't have a lot of this kind of dermatology here (aesthetic dermatology) :( I will definitely subscribe and look for more videos from you!!
Also, in the before and after pictures it would be much more helpful if you took the after photo in the same lightning and the same angle.
+Emil Karlsson Thanks,will definitely take your point on lighting.

You're the best, Dr.!! Ur the only dermatologist youtuber I fully trust!! I hope I can visit and be treated at ur clinic in the future
I love your methods. You are a Godsend. If only I can travel or move to Aus I would love to be a patient. Is there anyone in the States that can do these methods as well. I've tried looking but I don't think any derms do subcision, not sure y. Or I just haven't found one that will. I have some tethered n rolling scars that if like to fix.
Should be OK to fix.
Ana it is almost impossible to find Doctors like David in the US...It’s all about money 💰 here..I am willing to fly to Australia just to have a session with him
Highly informative & very well made video.. it’s helpful even for Dermatologists.. Looking forward to your next acne scar video.
Enjoyed the vid and found it very informative . . . R

I'm from Vietnam, I had a laser treatment (co2 fractional) 6 months ago but the result makes me too disapointed, ances scars remain unchanged although it took me over a month to get rid of severe sweling and redness. Is it possible to have a second treatment doctor? I'm afraid my skin becomes weaker and will be unable to tolarate any other type of treatment.
You are a genious,
Thank You. Davin Lim. Brisbane skin specialist.
Hi Dr. Davin Lim how much would it cost to do these treatments.
Depends on Medicare in Australia, and also your threshold limit, and if you have International Medical Insurance. Cost vary widely.
All the best
Dr Davin Lim
I want try this treatment but I don't have money for this
Clinical trials- thats the way to go... DL

Hi to all young men and women who have a problem with acne. I am 21 years old, and since I turned 13, I suddenly got terrible acne all over my body. I tried virtually all cures but it didn’t help. I even tried every diet I heard of but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with health problems besides acne. My last hope was to try laser treatment and when that failed too, it seemed there is no cure. Then I run across this link. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and the advices from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 8 days I had first results and after 8 weeks my skin was finally clean. All this thanks to secrets from this site.
And my "very smart" dermatologist says nothing really works with my mild scars. He only operated Photo Dynamic Therapy which burned a hole in my pocket and did absolutely nothing, then bombarded me with light chemical peels that also don't do the slightest of a progress (because they only target the surface and discoloration not the pits in the epidermis) with brightening serums.Thank you, Dr. Lim for the very informative video. You gave me hope.
+MissLil Nova Yes, sorry to hear.... Im going to do a video on PDT for acne in the next 3 weeks, so stay tuned.

Excellent. Most comprehensive and easy to understand video on scarring.
+Brenda Hughes Thanks for that. Hope that clarifies things for everyone out there.. its never the device, but the METHOD that gives the best results.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but how long after the TCA treatment were the final "after" photos taken. Do the full TCA results look like such a week after or more like a month or more of healing/collagen regeneration?
Sir how to remove hypertrophic scar I'm 19 years old due to an accident I got a scar on moustache how to treat it help me I m felling terrible.

It's a long video but very informative and really useful .Thank you for sharing this. I can say you're one of the best doctors in the world!

Hello Dr. Davin Lim, I was been suffered by bad acne scars for many years. From my 15 to now my 30. I am in the US now I'd like to know how can I set up an appointment with you? If the US medicare works in Australia?
I'm getting the Infini treatment now. I've only had 1 treatment and see no difference. When do you start to see an improvement?
Waw the best treatments for aqne scar ive seen so far because you have different treatments for each diferent type of aqnes, thats excellent. Where is your location? Im in indonesia

Dear Dr. Davin Lim,
Great video!
I just got 1 question
How do you threat hypertrophic scars on the nose?
+dodooow If they are truely hypertrophic, I use CO2 Fractional and steroid drip, or straight forward injections. If they are soft, these area actually atrophic- some patients and doctors think they are hypertrophic just because they are raised. in this case I use CO2 fractional combined with INFINI RF micro needling.
Cheers

l live in South Africa and this is the first and only video that gives one hope. However l do not know anyyone here who is as knowledgeable as you. l am seriously considering taking the long flight to Brisbane to get treated by u
+Lorraine Reddy Goto realaself.com and see if there are any dermatologist in SA that perform scar revision at my level. Most patients don't realise that if you have multiple scar types ONE visit won't do, its like orthodontic work...many treatments over 6-12 months to get the BEST results. The only exception is with shallow box car scars ...one session of laser and its done.

Hi Dr Lim, you are a genius :). I live in toronto, canada. Its really sad that no doctor here perform scar specific treatments like tca cross and subcision. they are just interested in making money and perform lasers with mediocre results :(
couple questions for you:
1. do you do online consultations?
2. what kind of surgical pen do you use? is it safe to do ablative lasers on the areas marked with surgical pen?
+K Gupta Sorry, no online consults ... medical insurance stuff. There should be good dermatologist and plastics in Toronto.. .big city. All the best,

Amazing work Dr Lim !
Is this work very specific to you ? Or do most clinics/dermatologist do these ?
Im wondering as i live in New Zealand
Thanks
Specific... 60-70% of my work is on scarring, I don't even see acne anymore, and stopped rashes 6 years ago. It is a very niche field. Dr Philip Bekhor and Assoc Prof Greg Goodman in Melbourne are great, and taught me some of my skills, probably closer to you as well. Davin Lim
I live in Las Vegas Nevada where can i get help for my scars? Help me PLease.
I am impress with the treatment Doctor. I have a scar that I been struggling to get rid of it but to no avail.please give a help Doctor
Hi doctor, what is the best treatment for some scars on the nose caused by blackheads?
Wow excellent video that really shows the best treatment for specific scarring
Sir any treatment for cobblestonning scar resulting from beard transplant
You are the best
Please help me sir😕
Dr., you are amazing!!! Could u tell me if there’s in Brazil any doctor for acne scars? I wish I could fly to Australia now.
dr. Lim I have done co2 fractional laser in dermatologist. I satisfy with the results but at some point it's like they're leaving slightly white burn scars. I prefer microneedling with the dermapen, it worked better than lasers.
by far the best video i have watched on the subject. i have recently done an EndyMed 3deep fractional resurfacing radio frequency microneedle. there wasn't much pain honestly, downtime wasn't too bad, it was a week, and i have noticed a lot of improvement. i have large pores, pitted marks, boxed marks, and the redness. my forehead and chin are clear, i only got this on my cheeks and sides of my jaw. i dont have any bumps, and it seems the 3deep treatment has made my collagen thicker. she suggests 2 more treatments. i hope it looks as nice as what you have done!
Thanks you for your complemets, I really do appreciate all the support. I think patient education is the most important aspect of scar revision. Trying to clean up the industry of lasers and 'selling' treatments - instead of science and focusing on individual treatments for THAT patient. Thanks once again.
Dr Davin Lim
I need an help from you. Could you suggest the best treatment for me? I want definetely get rid of them.Thanks

Need to assess in real life .... if you go to www.lasersandlifts.com.au go to the contact page, there is a list of Specialist around the World who perform the very same procedures I do.. probably better as I learned from them as well. Cheers, Davin Lim

Do you recommend traveling for the treatments you detailed if you do not have them locally?
Hi Dr. Davin, Can I just ask if you know a good acne scar expert in Manila,Philippines? Because I've undergone a lot of lasers and treatments to my scars and none seems to work. If all the doctors is just as skillfull and as caring as you it would be awesome. Seeing your work gives me hope that someday I'll bring back the smile to my face. Thank you very much!

The problem is that there is no chance for me to come to Australia, since I live in Europe. I was wondering if I could send some photos of my scars, so you could guide me on wich treatment I should take. Thanks!
