Hi,I am 26, Indian. I've had acne from a young age (probably 15 or so) that was never treated and currently the scarring is as per pic attached.At this moment, I'm undergoing MNRF + Peeling (5+5) in alternate sessions.I'm concerned after hearing that for tethered scars (which I have right?) subcision is more or less a must before any other treatment. What do you guys think?Another doctor had advised a multi-faceted plan of fractal CO2 laser + TCA cross + Derma roller and PRP but my current derma suggested that those procedures carry a higher risk of side effects so it's better to start with this and afterwards I can always go for more intensive treatments. Also his plan to control acne has worked well on me so I'm sticking with him (additionally also applying.025% tretinoin). Would like to hear some opinions, if you please.

It does look like you have tethering. And yeah, subcision (with suction) is a good idea to get things started on the right foot.

Other than that, all of the options (the ones you're doing and the ones suggested) seem good and do work to some degree. It's more of a matter of sticking with it and doing a bunch of treatments.

I just uploaded all the latest data from all available treatments by the way. Have a look.
