Not telling there is a weirdo on this post. I dont mention names.

I dont see why not. They are not meds........use the retin-A after you wash all the stuff off. I leave the ACV on though. It does wonders.!!! If you use that as a toner 50/50, let dry and use the Reti...

I just have to say I love it as a toner!! When I work and sweat, my skin is not oily and it is not dry either. I am so glad I found Smashing Pumkins thread. I'm going to try it in my hair too!

I coudn't find it in here, but do you have to use distilled water to dilute it, is that better??

FYI guys, Fraxel II is not a new machine, its just a software upgrade. It permits the Fraxel machine to go to about 1100 microns as opposed to like 700 or 800 microns. Thermage, for example, goes to...

Shyone, are you being treated by first gen or second gen fraxel? Second generation. The Reliant clinical rep was present for my first treatment, talking with the doc about settings, differences...

I wish I wasn't too afraid to have a dermabrasion. If your skin looks bad enough that u would want a dermabrasion then I would get a little spot done and see how u heal. U may heal really fast an...

Suposedly, they kinda puncture small holes in and around the scarring. Where they wish the collegen to grow. (Like a template). I believe it is the Dr's "skill" is where you get the results. The new o...

Thanks. One (new guy I see) is getting the whole new machine in Nov-Dec. He didn't want to buy the test one he had for awhile in his office because they used to be able to update the heads and this on...

shyone:   From what you described re your scarring, I have done lot's of research on Fraxel, and some need up to 8 treatments for the deeper scarring to improve. Why is your husband against fille...

Went to the salon today, the ladies there swear they can see improvement. Before I went, I was examining my skin in the magnifying mirror and decided I see no change. :wall: I'm probably being ...
