Anonymous, Greenville, SC Jun 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I had some scaring from large pores on the bottom part of both cheeks. I had the erbium laser twice in the last 10 months and my face looks worse than it did to start with. I am scarred now on all of my face from the laser. I never had acne until now Cons: I am so depressed now because after going through the pain twice, it has made my face worse. I can't stand to look in the mirror now. I thought I was doing something to help me out but only made things worse. Bottom Line: If anyone knows anything I can do for scarring from the laser, please let me know. I am so sad about this and it's taking over my life. Thank you.

Nichole, Tennessee May 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Not as painful as you might think, no down time Cons: None at all! Bottom Line: I am not one for pain...going into this procedure this morning I was terrified of the pain and aftermath...every comment I have read on this site didnt make it easy for me to walk in the office calm...My doctors were extremely nice and welcoming, the pain that I was expecting was not pain at all..the best way to describe it is small splashes of hot water on your face...it kind of felt good, my face was not red at first, but about three hours later I looked like I just left the beach....looked like a natural sunburn, The redness is gone now..only lasted five hours...I am back to my normal self and waiting for what is next. I am allowed to wear my make up first thing tomorrow..and I was told to keep lotion on my face and exfoliate as soon as my face starts to peel. As long as I do that, my doctor said nobody will know but me! I am to see him again in a month and looking forward to it, and my new face.

Boo, TN May 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it works Cons: it's expensive, time consuming, and painful. It HAS to be done by a REALLY good doctor which makes it expensive. Bottom Line: DO NOT do this procedure if you have even the slightest doubt in your phsyician! It is not a mild procedure and it can make you look worse. The down time for this was a solid 5 days. You will be BEET red, hideous, and swollen, but if you follow the instructions EXACTLY you will like the results. I will post the day by day under the lasers forum. Recommended: Yes Usage: Boo has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 3,000.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Elizabeth, Oxford, MS May 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Recovery time was reasonable. Well worth the money. I will do it again soon. Only treatment was Jan 01. Results are awesome. Cons: Looked like I had been in a wreck at first. Bottom Line: I have taken 2 rounds of accutane. I believe the laser helped prevent the severity of future breakouts. It has been explained to me that darker skinned people may have different results. I am as pale as anyone comes, so that may play a role in the success in my resurfacing. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 800.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Linda, Lexington, KY Apr 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Some improvement in forehead lines, lightening of a few freckles Cons: Procedure was much more painful than advertised - down time longer than advertised - saw no difference in lines around eyes. Broke out in zits from the thick Aquafor dressing. Bottom Line: Skin looks slight fresher but overall not worth it. Recommended: No Price Paid: 1,000.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Nicki Shelly, London Apr 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: More even skin tone - on the the less sensitive areas. Cons: My chin area developed a terrible acne breakout, infection or rosacea or whatever... still waiting for a proper diagnosis. It's been six months now I a face a constant daily battle to keep my skin under control. I fear I have completely ruined it. Bottom Line: Don't use lasers until you have completely researched the market. If you are not sure, only use the lighter lasers for a less aggressive treatment, or dont do it at all. I used to get much better results from glycolic acid facials, I really wish I'd stuck to them now. Recommended: No Usage: Nicki Shelly has used this item for a few months.

maratesa, Ontario, Canada Apr 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Seems to be working already Cons: None, other than staying away from the sun Bottom Line: I just had my first YAG laser treatment about 2 weeks ago (followed by a mild TCA peel last week) and I am already noticing an improvement in my skin. I like the fact that my doctor is using mild peels and a "gentle" laser procedure so that I don't have to have a long recovery period. Takes a long time but I can tell it's going to be worth it.

jan, concord ohio Apr 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It really tightened my skin and it looks much younger. Cons: It made my pores shrink at first then I got many bumps and clogged pores and white heads and now my skin is very rough and bumpy and my pores are back. I had co2 lasering 6 weeks ago. Bottom Line: I would do it again because my wrinkles are gone in most places but I wish I would have known about the acne before I did it.
