ericka, lubbock tx May 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: none. I had two treatments and suffered all the side effects without seeing any improvement in number or severity of breakouts. Cons: the most painful treatment i've gone through ever. Bottom Line: after my first treatment i didnt see any improvement but was convinced by aestheticians to go ahead and get a second one because it often is needed to see results. On my second treatment levulan was left on my face longer because they thought it would penetrate deeper but that was a huge mistake. That whole night and part of the next day i was in intolerable pain that would not be helped by medications. I felt so bad i wanted to rip off my skin so it would stop burning. 3 days after the second treatment my whole face was covered with pimples small and big there was not 1 inch of clear skin. I was so dissapointed that this treatment cost me so much only to make my acne worse and painful. I went to 2 different dermatologists to help clear my skin and is now doing 90% better due to contraceptives. Thanks to what happened to me my sister decided not to get this treatment and many of my friends that saw the results. Recommended: No Usage: ericka has used this item for a few months.

Mike James, Tampa, Florida May 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It works really good, the number of pimples I wake up to everyday has reduced dramatically. However it takes a few treatments to see any significant results. But if you get 3 or more treatments it should clear a majority if not all of your acne. Cons: The price, it is very expensive. Bottom Line: If your desperate to get rid of your acne, save up for this. It works! It has helped my self esteem dramatically, it is well worth the price if you can afford it.

Jen, Liverpool, NY Apr 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Noticed improvements over night! Very fast process. Cons: Too expensive. A little itchy. Bottom Line: Had Luvian on face for 15 minutes and blue light for ten minutes.

Anonymous, Arizona Apr 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: only tried on back, upper arms, and chest. cleared all acne! Cons: expensive, may get hyperpigmentation Bottom Line: it cleared my acne prob 75% after just one treatment. I think it took 2-3 sticks for my back, upper arms, and chest. i did get hyperpigmentation where the microdermabrasion had left marks. i did the second treatment without the microdermabrasion and had no hyperpigmentation (im not caucasian). and the acne is 100% gone on my upper arms and chest, and i believe on my back. now i just have to get rid of the scars! i still have a treatment left.

maria, ca Apr 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it shrinks my pores & acne scars. i just hope it will get rid of my acne completely. Cons: it's really painful while on the blue light like getting fried.even after the treatment face still burning hot. it's tolerable though if you take a pain killer like Vicodin 30 mins. before exposure to the light . dontime of at least 7 days. Bottom Line: it's seems effective especially if you have a lot of scars from acne. this is my second tx. less traumatic now because i had a strong pain killer. Recommended: Yes Usage: maria has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 1,080.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Isaiah, California Mar 31st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: In the long run, you can definately tell the difference. Went from Dark, beat red, to new, clearer looking skin. This product definately helps with acne scars. Cons: You do have to deal with quite a bit of redness (severity of redness depending on the patient). Redness usually lasts for about 3 days, and then immediately begins to peel. Bottom Line: Great product. Well affordable. Great Results! Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 120.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Los Angeles , CA Mar 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It was an effective and quick way to get rid of a good amount of my acne all at once. I started only with very mild acne, and mostly just small bumps under the skin that bothered me. Cons: I had this procedure, the levulan with blue light and then the levulan with v-beam. The v-beam is not painless. It feels like someone snapping a rubber band against your face several hundred times. Bottom Line: My skin is very sensitive and the recovery was rough for me. My face swelled up severely, especially around the eyes for about 2 days. My face was ridiculously red for about 3 days and I peeled for about a week. All of it was uncomfortably and slightly embarrassing, but not unbearable. I saw results from my first treatment immediately, about 50% reduction in pimples and my pores looked smaller. After my second treatment, my acne was worse for a week or two and has now settled down. After the 2 treatments, my acne is probably about 80% better total. This treatment is very harsh on the skin, so only try it if you have tried everything else and nothing has worked. I only had very mild acne to begin with, but it was persistent. It seemed to help quite a bit and now i am used Obagi products to keep my skin clear. These treatments are VERY expensive but they can work for you. Remember to moisturize a lot after the procedure !! Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 500.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
