I was wondering if Laser Hair Removal would be a step in the right direction toward cleaning my skin?

I just came across your post while looking at laser hair removal reviews and felt so bad for you, I had to reply. It's true, everyone says it doesn't matter cuz if someone loves you, they'll look past it and blah, blah, blah but what they don't understand is that if you feel so self-conscious about things, you can't enjoy it no matter what!
Ok, done with that. Have you ever tried Ziana? I've seen others say that they used it on here and it didn't work but when I look at all the other crap they used with it, it doesn't surprise me. I had really bad acne on my face and horrible cysts (mainly from ingrown hairs) on various parts of my body. One time I got one so bad on my bikini line that my Dr. wanted to perform minor surgery as it was the only way to get rid of it. I went and saw my dermatologist (one of most highly rated in country) who was treating me for acne and he said surgery was bad because of the sensitive area it was in and gave me samples of Ziana. Told me to use twice a day after cleaning area with just regular bath soap and water. After 3 applications, I was finally able to walk again without looking like a gimp (yes, it was that bad). I was literally freakin amazed because I had it for almost a year at that point and NOTHING worked, not even a little. After a week of usage, it was completely gone. I also use it twice a day on my face after washing with benzoyl peroxide as it is the only thing that helps my acne. I don't care what other people say about it, it is a miracle worker to me. It is expensive though if you don't have insurance or a coupon (around $100 per tube) but the tubes last awhile and is totally worth it if it will help boost your confidence and take you out of the depression mode.

Argh, I wish! For me it's been the opposite. I've had three laser hair removal treatments (plus a spot touch-up after each one, so really six) since February. My acne has flared up terribly and DKR benzoyl peroxide has left these gross flaky, oozy patches where the laser pulses were strongest. Your experience might be different, of course, but for me it hasn't helped my acne, and has actually made it much worse.
