| 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. |

Linda from Lexington, KY
April 30, 2009
| 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 |
Nicki Shelly from London

| 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 |

maratesa from Ontario, Canada

| 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 from concord ohio
April 2, 2009
| 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. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | Works like a charm, get knocked out with general anesthesia- so it's painless |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive, 14+ days of downtime |
| Bottom line | I've got great results from Co2 laser resurfacing. I just got it done a 2nd time (1 year apart) and the results are better and better. Evened up the skin tone and smoothed out the pitted scars. |
| Recommended | Yes |
| Price paid | $9,500.00 |

| Pros | Fraxel lasers have a low down time compared to some proceedures. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive if you have severe scarring. You will most likely need more than 1 treatment. |
| Bottom line | I've had 3 treatments so far. I've seen mostly improvements with the skin tone. I wasnt as concerned with that as much as the deep pitted scarring. I've seen a 20% improvement so far. I'm going to keep trying since I'm still hopeful. The proceedure itself can be a bit painful, but will be worth it if it works. |

Venus from North Carolina

| Pros | Skin looks younger, smoother, firmer. Wrinkles and brown spots gone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not a lot of change in scars or pore size. Painful, lots of post-op maintenance, 1-2 weeks down time. |
| Bottom line | I would recommend this procedure for wrinkles and freckles/age spots, but not for scarring. My doctor gave good instructions to avoid infection. In some of the negative reviews, I wonder if those people got infections. My doctor warned me that infec. could cause scarring, so I was meticulous. Also I got realistic down-time estimates. Some negative reviews are from people who have not yet healed. It does look scary at first! Scary lasts a week to 10 days, then bright red for 1 week, then light red, and slowly fading. I think going to a VERY GOOD doctor is vital, which you may have to pay for. Looking at some of the prices people paid, I wonder if they went to a reputable place. Don't bargain-shop your face! A "cheap" skin treatment is likely to give "cheap" results. |
