Laser Resurfacing Reviews

Laser surgery did nothing, zero, nada, to help diminish my slight to moderate acne scarring. It did make my complexion look great for a few years. But it should never be hyped as a viable treatment for acne scarring.

I had CO2 laser done in 1997, big mistake. This laser left me lobster red for months, enlarged my pores, left me with some rolling scars and a lighter wallet. It did absolutely NOTHING for my remaining scars. Boo.

There are many different types of laser treatments but they all fall into two groups: the ablative and nonablative lasers. The ablative lasers include the CO2 and others that remove layers of skin through heat and light. The nonablative lasers like the pulse dye do no perforate the skin and allow the skin to heal without a visible wound. Treatments are expensive. Choose a dermatologist rather than a plastic surgeon who has special training and extensive experience with lasers (Board Certified is not enough).

Did nothing for my acne scars, only gave me more tiny "line" type scars...and a lot of redness that took months to go away. It was the Erbium, and he is considered one of the best - so there you go.

Great for raised scarring or shallow scarring. Vaporizes skin while also stimulating collagen. Not for acne scarring.

The laser treatment did nothing for my scars..it left my face full of hyperpigmentation..so I can safely say my skin looked better before I had it done...
