Sorry, I can't post it. For some reason it works one second, but then when I log back in, I get an error message.
Today, on the 18th day since my 1st treatment, I continue to think/feel that my skin is doing better. I think that the scars are shrinking/filling !!!
I have concluded that my breakouts arn't as bad as before the treatment as well.
Let's Hope !

Tuesday (6 days from now)...
I think they will probably go up 1 setting to 13 -- not sure though, but I did pretty well on 12. I'm really anxious to see GOOD results !

I was wondering... do smoothbeam and needling aim to accomplish the same objectives through "basically" the same methodology, yet a very different process.
It seems to me that the the goal of needling is to break down scar tissue and induce collagen growth through an internal injury to the skin.
Smoothbeam also causes a internal injury to produce collagen.
People are getting simaler results (percentage wise) w/ these 2 procedures.
Thoughts??

My thoughts are they both are relatively non-invasive and low risk, and yeild the best results when used in conjuction with each other. I am going to do my second needling and 4th and 5th smoothbeams over the next 6 weeks, then I will look probably about 75 % improvement, right now Im at 50%. I have started up a good social life again after- 2-3 months of literally not leaving-except to eat. Life has really turned around for me. Scars can be greatly improved through these methods.

Oh and for the past 9 months I would obsess over them, thinking only about them and what to do, and endless searches on the internet, my mind has been freed from this horrible obsession as well. I also dont go to the mirror all the time, and when I do I actually have to find an angle and bad lighting to see scarring, yes there still there, but they are not as noticable. I now think about them like maybe 5 or 6 times throughout the day, which is a HUGE improvement in my mental being as well.

Niko, and could you tell us how severe and what type of scarry you had?
BTW, I just got these 1000mg Time Release Vitamin C pills to aid the healing collagen... cool beans.

I have only had one Needling done 8 weeks ago, and three smoothbeam treatments. The needling was two weeks after my first smoothbeam treatment.
I plan on one more needling in a week and two more smoothbeams spaced 3 weeks apart.
Scarring was shallow-moderate, but extensive, mainly the deeper scars are only noticable now. I think it was slightly rollling, with moderate craters.

That sounds great NIKO !!
Im really happy for you. You must feel a lot better. How long did it take after your first smoothbeam for you to see results??
You said that only your deeper scars show, that must be nice. Because an ocassional scar here or there is cool, just not when they are all over.
How many smoothbeam treatment are you planning to have total?
Thanks in Advance for the info.

I didn't see any results until after my second treatment on 13, and all of a sudden the area started getting more plump. I plan on having a total of 5 treatments, and 2 needlings. 2 treatments and one Needling left to go. I also use CP daily and Lactic Acid weekly, and this I think has boosted results. I do feel a lot better. Although I found that I am spending lots of money almost to make-up for lost time. Im definitely enjoying myself now.

That's absolutely wonderful!
I just looked in the mirror tonight[22 days after 1st treatment], and I truely think I'm noticing results. My skin looks less wavy. And although I still see each scar on my face, they don't seem to be that big of deal. They are not an obstruction when I look in the mirror.
I'm really happy, and my skin feels great to touch with my hands. Not oily, red, or hot at all!
In the words of Hello50, "Right now, I love smoothbeam."

Do your next treatment on 13 and wait a week, you will see even better results.

Thanks, I really appreciate your encouragement. And, you have to promise not to leave us once you are satisfied (i.e franky) with your treatment. It helps many others to here 1st hand stories of success (great success in your case).
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
