total ablation sounds like its gon work..Good luck Cotton.   I was interested in CO2 as well, but since i have olive skin tone and very prone to scarring, i was afraid that it was going cause mor...

Hello all, here to update again. Thank you Steve for your good wishes.   I postponed my 2nd treatment b/c i went away for vacation for a week. I did the 2nd treatment last week. I asked about th...

I am sorry I have no idea about treatment levels or depth of penetration. But i could ask them about this the next time.

thanks for all the good wishes guys. I am healing well, i think. almost all scabs have fallen off. I think the reason they've asked me to use the hydroquinone serum is that though this procedure isn't...

Here's the website of the place I went to   And for post treatment care, they gave me a guideline for post fraxel b/c they said it's the same.   No aquaphor needed. you can use a gentle c...

Hello all, went through my first treatment. Here to share with you. The whole thing took about 90 minutes   First, numbing cream for 30 minutes. (sticky, but really works, my lips were put to sle...

Thanks for all the concern. you guys need not worry. I am not really a lab rat, i was just kidding. They had the machine for a while and have patients done that. They told me it should be more effecti...

Yeah, I am Asian and have olive skin tone. They told me the down time is gonna be 24 hours tops, with a sunburn kind of feeling. But should subside soon. And there's gonna be tiny dots on the skin rig...

haha, now i wish i was actually a lab rat. I meant since nobody else on this board had pursued this, I might be the first, and am very anxious about this, yet full of hope. haha.   I'll keep you ...

Hey guys. I am going to be a lab rat here and get myself the Sublative Rejuvenation treatment.   You can find out more here.   I'll do 3 treatment (whole face) with a complimentary re-firm...

Well, turns out the fatigue thing was because i was actually tired from moving (But i just jumped to the spiro conclusion right away, haha) . My doc said that my electrolytes level is fine. Now i am f...

You should not 'skip' witnessing your prior tolerance level. Once one avoids a diuretic for some duration, they will need to adhere to a more superior dosage in averting water retention as body will g...

Hello all.   Here to update again. The bcp seem to work well. Doesn't cause me breakouts, and keeps my period normal. I do experience some side effects though. I just feel tired all day long. Fat...

Question: Has anybody found a way to get this Spironolactone w/o an RX? I went to the Nurse Pract. and her and the doctor talked it over, and wanted me to stick it out with the BS antibiotics I'm on...

Hi whimsicality. Sorry to hear about your friend.   accutane is certainly serious. I totally agree that you need to take caution when taking them. (Not only liver, psyche as well. I have heard m...

Hi chanelwy, Thanks for your feedback. I've taken two doses - both each night with dinner. This morning I woke up with a headache. I read headaches can be a side effect. And the past two nights, ...

Hi, I was just glancing through this thread because it seemed interesting.. I don't mean to be so negative, but after reading a few posts on this thread.. I just wanted to say.. Medical doctors (a...

Hi chanelwy, Thanks for your response. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of BCP are you taking? My Derm. initially prescribed YAZ last year - I took it for week and stopped. I felt weak, d...

Hey All - Saw the posts on Spiro....thought I'd inquire how much it's working for you all? I'm 41, took Accutane 2 years ago for mild but persistent jawline/forehead acne (mostly hormonal). Seve...

Haha, you guys are so cute.   Glad I'm not alone. Personally, the dreams are pretty random(some good, some bad, some neutral.), but the fact that they are sooooo vivid is kinda scary, even after...

Wow, thanks guys. I'll definitely check out the website. There's a lot of discussion about Yaz or Yasmin, how are those?   I used Zovia to treat Acne for a year, It did NOT work at ALL!!!  ...

Hi, here to update again.   It is The Cure for me. My skin has never looked better. I am taking 125, but I am thinking of reducing it to 100. I will say there's reduction in oil production, but ...

Hey, its been 3 months. Here to update. It's been working wonders. Most of the time I am 99% clear. I only have 1 or 2 spots occasionally. However, the oil is still there. I switched doctors because ...

Hi all. It's been a month, and I should probably update. My blood test was fine, the doctor then prescribed 3 more months (75mg). No dramatic changes yet, no oil reduction. And I got my period norm...
