Hey guys! I really apologize for not updating this thread sooner. My computer died and I decided not to fix it because I have a brand new one at home in Japan. I am headed to Hawaii and then Japan tomorrow. I will update this thread once I am settled back at home in another week. In the meantime, I will say I am still scarred but my skin is greatly improved. Hyperpigmentation is 90% faded at this point. Posting from my phone is difficult, so I will add more detail later. As of now,I have no regrets over my second laser treatment but I am definitely not done with treating my scars. There's still work to be done. My confidence is up 80% though and it feels awesome. Hope you all are well. I look forward to providing a more detailed update soon. Btw, I am approximately 3.5 months post-op.

@Inspired: I know you've discussed this on the board, but what led you to decide your course of treatment? How did you treat the acne and how long was the wait to start scar treatments? What types of scars did you have?

Nice to hear. How's the hyperpigmentation now? You say that while you're still scarred, your skin has improved dramatically. In what way? Have your scars filled in or some more than other?

Glad to know that your confidence is back.

Great that you're back on the forum! I'm very happy to hear your skin has improved and your confidence has gone up. I hope it means that your scarring has improved, not just overall texture or whatnot. Looking forward to your update when you get back to Japan.

Since you are happy with your treatment will you reveal your doctor's name please? It would be very helpful to me.
