I just had one of these done at the derm (1st appointment with this new dermatology clinic), it took about 1-2 minutes. I am surprised I have never heard of it before, and there is very little info on it when I search. I feel like my red marks (from a terrible flare over the last few months) are dramatically lighter in only a few hours.
Does anyone know more about this procedure? My derm said I could get them every 2-3 weeks if I liked the results.

this sounds great! how much did it cost you?

[vpm]

You know, I don't know. They said insurance covers it, but I'm sure not the whole amount. I probably should have asked! I hope it's cheap because they said I could get them every 2-3 weeks, drop in because it's done by the assistant.

wow that is awesome! i wonder if my derm will do these on me. keep me updated

I think the acne slush was a super good idea. Noticeable improvement right away for me. I would def ask your derm about it.

Sorry, I don't have pics.
I know it would be helpful, but I hate to see pictures of my terrible skin, so I avoid them.
I should be better about that for the acne.org community.
