I am glad you are enjoying my pain! LOL. Just kidding. I honestly think the frightening painful stage of the process is what I enjoy the most. The only way to remove traumatic scars is by having traum...

Be careful what fractional laser the doctor is talking about. I find it hard to believe that a doctor would do a fractional CO2 laser treatment without ANY medication , cream or nerve blocks. It is ex...

Here it is at 50% coverage! This was probably the most painful of the laser treatments I had yet. No pain , no gain.

Hey Kinimi, only the doctors perform the ablative laser treatments at the Skin and Laser Center here. There is 4 to 5 to choose from but Kilmer has the most experience. I never had a non-ablative lase...

Hey bro. Your scars aren't that bad at all. As far as relationships go, I see plenty of guys with scars that have themselves cute, intelligent girlfriends. You will eventually grow out of your acne a...

First thing in the morning and before sleep I use Proactive's full program (+ moisturizer + daily oil control), but in the middle of the day my skin starts getting really greasy/oily. Is there any way...

Plss help! Can I use both BP + moisturizer at night? Firstly using cleanser, secondly applying benzoyl peroxide, thirdly applying moisturizer after the BP is dry? Yes you can. You can even cut the B...

I have posted this a few times prior but I guess its worth repeating on this thread. Check out the recent studies that show a link between acne and foods that rank high on the glycemic index. Highly g...

i have had acne for about 9 years now and it has been pretty consistent, not really got any better or worse. I don't really consume alcohol but a couple of months back I attended a staff party and spe...

Honestly your skin doesn't look bad at all. My guess would be that your trip to Cancun and the bumps on your forehead was the result of an insulin spike. Google " highly glycemic foods and acne" and y...

Your skin looks good. Latest studies show that foods that rate High on the glycemic index and dairy can cause acne. This is definitely true in my case. Avoid highly glycemic foods for a week and I bet...

Hey Alex and everyone else I apologize if I haven't been as complete with my CO2 experience as some of the other poster's on this board. I have been SO busy these last few months with finals, holidays...

Hey collegeboy! I've kind of been lurking on here, and i'm dying to know how your recovery is going, so i decided to make a profile. Just so I could say, I'm dying of suspense over here! My scars are ...

You don't have to give up lifting, or give up lifting heavy. Your diet is everything here, and 'clean' or 'healthy' or whatever else are facetious words. Their meaning is malleable and different to e...

Stop working out with heavy weights. I've had acne ever since I started working out in my teens. I'm 39 now and I just figured out recently my acne only comes back when I start working out. So for 25 ...

Weight lifting is the definite cause of my acne. I am not saying that weight lifting WILL give you acne or if you don't weight lift you WON'T get acne. What I am saying is that for those of us with a ...

Hey Inspired, congrats on the treatment! Your results look awesome so far! I'm sure they'll just continue to get better. I hate to get technical, but you mentioned you're hoping for plumping on your ...

Hey Collegeboy! Well, I did it yesterday. I have to say, Active FX is the MOST PAINFUL thing I've ever experienced. I took percocet and xanax one hour before the procedure. I was then given a demero...
