| Pros: | need advice |
| Cons: | need advice |
| Bottom Line: | I just came back from Kaiser's dermatology dept. First, they charged me 100 for half hour consultation. Then, gave me a quote for $1000 per treatment. They probably only have Fraxel Laser Treatment. I hope you guys can give some advice how well it works? I see that there is a CO2 treatment, how is it? My scar is not very bad but I just want to make the pores smaller. |

| Bottom Line: | Had co2 lazer procedure 4 years ago for deep rolling acne scars, noticed little if any improvement for acne scars, some decrease in hyperpigmentation. Would say not worth the money if your scars are deep |

| Pros: | Laser treatments can help with some skin conditions and should be considered. |
| Cons: | Know what laser the DR. is using for your scars. |

| Pros: | At 60 I am a long time sufferer. I had Dermabrasion done about 40 years ago and Laser Resurfacing 10 years ago. I saw some limited improvement from both methods. |
| Cons: | The results did not even approach the promise of either method |
| Bottom Line: | Reading Don from Louisanas post was an inspiration for me. His comments about looking in mirrors and hiding from lights has been my life story. I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon to talk about Fraxel treatments in a couple of weeks and I will post on my progress. |

| Pros: | Over 50% improvement in all types of acne scars in a single treatment. |
| Cons: | One week of down time |
| Bottom Line: | I have been treating acne scars for 28 years with every treatment that has become available. A new technique that I call "tangential laser rsurfacing" using a erbium/carbon dioxide laser (Derma-K) laser in combination with a blending TCA peel on the non scarred areas of the face, consistently gives excellent improvement in all types of acne scars. Much less painful than fraxel or traditional laser resurfacing and much more improvement in a single treatment. Depressed scars are treated with Silikon 1000 (a permanent scar filler) or Perlane one month after the peel. |

| Pros: | I've had two of five treatments, and things are looking good |
| Cons: | It's still a little slow, especially when you just want to have your face back from acne |
| Bottom Line: | I'm 26 and going through hormonal changes, which triggered the worst acne of my life (by far) I tried everything, from prescriptions and TV promises, to acne fighting yoga, and acne psyco-analysis/hypnotics. I finally turned to laser treatments, and am thrilled. First treatment, they determined the sensitivity of my skin (not too sensitive from the beating I'd given it with topical solutions), so no real change. Second one, my scars glowed for about 24 hr, but were dramatically reduced the next day. I was also a little chapped around the mouth, but that cleared up within a day too. It's been three days, and I haven't gotten a new pimple since the second treatment (which is about 7 less than I usually get) And the best part, my little town is charging $35 a treatment. Yes, I made them repeat the price three times to me when I first made the appointment, considering that I had been quoted $375 a treatment in Calgary (nearby city). So, hooray for the small town! |

| Pros: | Skin looks awsome immediately afterwards. Even, pink tone, and it feels firm and soft. I have never seen my skin look that good, but its only for an hour afterwards. |
| Cons: | caused a break out. |
| Bottom Line: | Just had lazer rejuovenation yesturday. I am a little dissapointed, but its only been 24 hours. Apparently the laser works by "damaging" the outer layer of skin, which in turn causes the skin to repair it by forming a new, younger layer to emerge as the damaged outer layer sloths off. I expect to see the full results within two weeks. The procedure cost 300$ and included the entire face. Its my understanding that most people require 3-6 treatments. I will see how the wallet is feeling before i decide to get a second treatment. |
