Thank you for letting us know. I found the link:
https://http://www.realself.com/review/nashville-tn-laser-resurfacing-permanent-hypopigmentation-after-laser-treatmentBut she posted her picture there before needling.
After that, she posted a thread here with the after needling picture, where she was extremely happy, she said that needling made a huge difference and she provided the evidence in the form of the picture we posted.

"I had so much success with needling for hypopigmentation scars on my chest from an IPL laser burn. I was burned in Sept. 2009 and suffered with the scars for almost 2 years before I discovered this website/article on needling. I will try to attach before and after pics. Believe me, it WORKS!! I can have my life back now and wear V necks again. These scars literally made me so ashamed and I would only wear turtlenecks. If you have hypopigmented scars, please at least try needling. I followed Sarah's instructions and I had success!! Thanks Sarah!!"And on RealSelf she does not provide a picture of how she looks now. We are the only site with her most recent picture.
And in that same thread she actually says dermarolling improved her condition (her currently last forum posting).
Worst case, she could simply roll regularly and her decollete will look as on the after-photo she sent us.
She never later informed us that the improvement was only temporary. The after-picture she let us use has no visible inflammation and looks spectacularly better.
We would like her to contact us and send us pictures of her current situation, so that we can verify that she indeed did not improve, as you claim.
In the latest update on RealSelf (December 1, 2011) she says she's making good progress with dermarolling and single needle:
"Hey there Sarah!! Good to hear from you! I'm so glad that you've had success with dermarolling!! I've been rolling my entire chest and I have gotten it back to somewhat an even skin-tone, except for 1 small spot where the nurse must have burned it worse than anywhere else because it is about the size of a dime and it feels hard when I rub my finger across it... I have been using just a plain single needle to try and break down the scar tissue... I needle it every morning and put copper peptide serum on it. If I can get the texture back to the way it should be, then I can work on the pigment more. Yes, trusting ourselves sounds much better than trusting the "over qualified idiots"!!! That is too funny and quite true!! Please do keep me posted on your continued progress and if you discover any new methods/treatments/products for hypopigmentation. "
Update:
She left a comment on our website:
"Hello, I am csd and my picture is the first one above with the white bar marks on my chest. As for your question about the length used, I think I started with 1.0 and used it all over my chest about 2 to 3 times per week intitially. If your scars are less "deep" you could use the .5 length, but at least 2 of my scars were so severe that I could literally feel that they were harder than the rest of my skin, if that makes sense... the white scars felt really dense, so I was aggressive in trying to break up that scar tissue. This site has a very good section on what length roller to use for different areas of the body. Each area and scar are different, but the administrator of this site tries to answer as many questions as possible, either in a response directly or by putting the information to answer your question on this site. Good luck and I hope you have great success!!"https://http://owndoc.com/stretchmarks/dermarolling-before-and-after-photos-from-our-customers/
