i think that lasers achieve good results, but depend first, on skills of doctor and how he can use laser to treat scars , and second on laser machine, while i'm searching , i found new laser machine,i...

It usually costs $1000->$5000 for the first treatment and then 1/2->1/3 of that for second/third treatments. Usually a package of 3 full face treatments costs ~$3000->$5000. If doing only the...

No one treatment works for everyone. Generally speaking tca cross works but as with everything there are risks. If you want to hear a tca cross horror story, then read "*inspired*" threads on here whe...

You do want to confirm the data on that chart though since the article came out in 2007. I don't have the inclination to begin researching again there is too much to look at on plastic surgery. "D...

Hello acnescar123, Thank you for starting this thread, we the new users (or those sitting on the fence) of laser treatments really need more of these; it would be really nice if acne.org did open a th...

I stand by what I said. Deep FX has more than a maximum ablation depth of 700 microns and Active FX has more than a maximum ablation depth of 120 microns. I don't know where you are getting that chart...

There is nothing you can quote on this forum that I have not read. I more than understand lasers. The depths you are quoting are incorrect. Watch this video from the start. You might find the ablation...

Personally speaking - if you're willing to spend that money, go through the hassle and have already seen improvement with laser, I would try 2-3 more sessions of fractional co2 and see where that take...

Mixto is a continuous light, not pulsed light, laser. It is carefully worded on their site. 500 microns is superficial and is comparable to Active FX in terms of depth. If I had the energy and wasn't ...

MixTo isn't even a pulsed laser. It is not a deep laser either. It is no different than traditional co2 in fractional mode. They claim this carries less risk of side-effects and that this makes their ...

Ok I guess you guys are tired of the voodoo cures. NOT ALL FRACTIONSL LASERS ARE CREATED EQUAL!! Know your laser and your treatment levels, or you will come away dissatisfied. I haven't updated thi...

mrsrobinson are you sure you got a fractional CO2 laser? Based on what you're saying I think you had a fraxel restore/erbium laser..... Yup - it's a totally different beast. You can't really compare...

@Antlee Serious question because I honestly have no knowledge regarding laser treatment... Are those dark marks in your recovery photos normal? Is that generally what happens in the peeling stage afte...

I would probably just excise it and be left with a small linear scar.

From what I understand, the actual "depth" gets improved 30 days - 6 months after the procedure. Will be interesting to see how your results change from now -> a few months later. "After 30 days, ...

I was pretty much healed after about 6-7 days, only just some left over redness still present (3 weeks later). You can pull off a sunburn look after a week however. There wasn't any pain or anything d...

Based on your pictures - I think the only real option for you is a full skin transplant..... You have no scarring whatsoever, just normal pores. Stop wasting your time on something meaningless.

Good luck with your recovery and thanks for sharing. So happy to see a real scar treatment thread again and someone actually taking action that can improve scars. I really hope this works for you. Int...

Since this forum has turned more into putting urine and other crap onto your face rather than actual medical devices, thought I would detail my experience. Some other good threads on lasers: Hi...

Subcision would probably work well for you.

Re:pair is generally the best option. Since you have asian skin, you have to find a doctor who has experience in that skin type and is willing to go aggressive (keep in mind you'll be red afterwards f...

Mild tca peels won't do anything for your scarring sorry to say. If you want improvement, you have to do the aggressive treatments ie multiple fractional co2 treatments. I'm sorry but how is 25% a "...
