| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very expensive, long downtime, no lasting results, redness. |
| Bottom line | I've had Erbium laser resurfacing 3 times for pitted acne scarring around my lower face and before this 10 micro-dermabrasion treatments with no results at all. In fact i would say that the scarring in some areas is actually worse than before. The first laser consultation the doctor advised i would see a 50 - 60% improvement and actually had zero. I have also got slight melasma caused from going into the sun a few weeks after resurfacing. I wouldn't really recommend this treatment to anyone as I didn't even see improvment on the smallest and flattest scars let alone the deeper ones. Over $5000 dollars wasted and a bunch of false hopes from the Cosmetic surgeons. I have been advised from the surgeon that did my face that the Fraxel laser could possibly help however after seeing some of the posts submitted here, it doesn't appear to do anything either. I will try Scultra injections next to fill out the scars and lessen the apperance as nothing else seems to work. |

| Pros | Made a minor improvement in the slightest of acne scars. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Had no effect on deep scars of skin imperfections. Some areas healed worse making them almost appear deeper. Didn't even remove a fine wrinkle I have. |
| Bottom line | I had 5 fraxel laser treatments with experienced doctors, and had the laser intensity eventually go to the maximum level. This was done at a laser treatment center-so they're the pros. It looked good the next day, but after the slight swelling goes down until there is absolutely no swelling at all (which takes about 2-3 weeks), then you will see that there is almost no improvement. I had about 30 close-up pictures taken by doctors before and after, and you can't tell the difference. My face still has all of the scars and imperfections and slight wrinkle, but for the very minor scars, you can almost see a slight improvement for some. BIG WASTE OF MONEY and it gets your hopes up for nothing. |

| Pros | I had very good results. My skin is very smooth and free from malasma. The wrinkles around my eyes and between my brow are virtually gone. I had it done 3 months ago. I hope to see more improvement as time passes. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The procedure was very painful toward the end because the pain medication wore off. The first 5 days of recovery was miserable. I felt much better after 2 weeks. |
| Bottom line | It was worth it. I might have done fraxel instead of co2 lazer because of the awful recovery period. |

| Pros | Smoother results for 1 month..stopped break outs for 2 months |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive...swollen for 3 days...felt as if my face stayed swollen a bit..Face looks fat as if sweling was slightly maintained |
| Bottom line | The Treatment 1. Microdermabrasion 2. Levulan Application 3. 30min Blu-U 4. IPL treatment (feels like an elastic salp on your face 100X per cheek) I did this full treatment twice 900$ x 2 |

| Pros | ? |
|---|---|
| Cons | made my pores large and scar's more noticable. |
| Bottom line | I had an Dermabrasion done over a year ago. I think that it made my scar's look worse. Like the wine glass effect. Wider at the bottom then at the top. I have also had 5 fraxel treatment's done about 8 month's ago and i'm not impressed with that either. I truely believe it has couse fat loss. |

| Bottom line | i'm confused why all the laser pricing seems to be irratic: i've had one smoothbeam treatment and one vbeam treatment at my dermatologist's office. each cost $150, or i could have opted to buy a package of 3 for 20% off. it's hard to understand how anyone else is paying $1000, or even half that for the same thing. it makes me wonder what the hell kind of profit margins these doctor's offices are operating under. btw, the one smoothbeam treatment i did months ago made a negligible difference.. i ran out of money to do the follow up treatments. just did my first vbeam today. other than some really slight swelling and a few little purple marks, i don't look any different yet. i'm planning on one or two more treatments. |
