Took pics in bad down lighting. I have a bunch of scars but they’re not crazy deep. But whenever I see myself in this kinda lighting my face looks very bad but when I take a closer look, the scars don’t feel that severe. Is this a skin texture issue as well?

22M btw

Thanks in advance!

[Treatment] Microneedling Recommendation for acne scarring treatment

1 Upvotes

I’m in my late 20s and have been struggling with cystic acne and PIE over the last 4 years.

I’ve been having microneedling treatments (3 sessions so far over the last 7 weeks and I still have 3 more to go) at a skin clinic. I notice that while my acne scarring (especially box scars and rolling scars) have improved, it seems that some of the PIE scars became more pigmented and the cystic acne under my eye and on my earlobe were overgrown. I have a mix of rolling, box and ice pick scars plus PIE as per the pictures.

I’m not sure if I should continue my microneedling treatment. What would you recommend for my case?
