Oh Inspired... I didn't know you were Tokyogirl. Good luck on that treatment in 1 week! Ooooooooooo. As for the bronzing experiment... didn't work out so well. Makes my skin turn orangeish as opposed ...

I guess your face is pretty red when you go to Thanksgiving dinner and your brother asks " what happened to your face? Is it permanent?" LOL. Even my 5 year old nephew asked if I "hurt my face". That ...

I didn't know you couldn't wipe off spray tans. LOL. I am glad you told me as I am sure I would have taken it too far. Anyways I think I am just going to tough it out and go with a weird red face to t...

Reading your post though, I'm wondering if I should wait until after the holidays. Based on your experience, it sounds like I may still end up with a strange pattern on my face despite going with full...

How are you doing Collegeboy? Have you stopped peeling? Hey Tokyogirl. Well, as the days progressed my face went from being light pinkish to an obvious reddish color. In other words,I got some pre...

Sorry all! Been sooo busy with work and school projects. It has been a long 10 days since the treatment. The peeling I thought had stopped a few days ago. but as it turns out I am still peeling all ov...

Awesome. It sounds like it went really well. Gosh, 100% gone, you say. What type of scars were they previously that are now gone, boxcar or those tiny ice pick scars you mentioned in your previous pos...

Hey had you been on accutane before treatment? Nope. Though the paperwork I signed before the procedure states that accutane users can have adverse effects from this laser if done within the last ...

I will post some pics tomorrow but I will give a quick update now @ day 4. Skin keeps on peeling and peeling and peeling. I swear the deeper areas have peeled 4-5 times by now. The skin color overall ...

Yes. They are prescriptions. You can actually get Aczone without insurance as their official website offers a coupon @ 25 dollars without insurance. Adapalene ( similar to Retin-A) can be purchased fr...

Hey Lindsey, glad to hear your still having great results. I did not know they made portable versions of the LED lighting. Good to know!

Did she do three passes at 100% ablation? I thought she was only comfortable doing one pass. Can you see your scars at this point? Are worried, at all? Good luck with healing! I honestly don't k...

You noted that you've previously had 6 non-ablative treatments before moving on to ablative laser resurfacing. Have you experienced what some doctors refer to as 'diminishing returns', which means tha...

Duac and Differin actually work really well. I used to to clear up my acne as well. The down side is it takes a long time for it to take full effect. Actually, my skin got much worse before it got bet...

Welcome! Honestly I have had terrible results in the past using a more natural or over-the-counter products such as tea tree oil. So in that respect I can't really give much advice. However, I would...

Welcome! Looks like boxcar and icepick scars. You definitely want to have an ABLATIVE laser treatment done. Don't let your doctor sell you a Restore treatment or something of that type. Talk with yo...

Here is one photo 2 hours after the laser procedure... I have a few better ones close up but acne.org is making it difficult! I will resize and post later. /lazy Left side had peeled almost immediatel...

Two hours ago I just had my face burned off with the Ultrapulse laser. The were sure to numb me up real good this which was a good thing because I felt little discomfort during the procedure. I'll pos...

Hey Everybody, I DO end this post with questions. However, I feel it does help to give a bit of a backstory first. So please bear with me. Also, this is probably the first time I have ever been a...

Just had my last consultation before the next laser procedure. My doctor is charging 1200 for the temples, under the eyes, and cheeks using the Ultrapulse CO2. On my deepest 2 scars she will do a se...

It has been about 4 months since my last laser treatment. I had mentioned in previous updates how the skin under my eyes where they performed the old school CO2 laser, my skin would turn pink EXACTLY ...

HI there! Thanks for the warm welcome! Thank you for the link, I very much enjoy learning more about acne treatments and things and how they work. I have never heard about Differin being by itself be...

Hello everybody! My name is Nicki and I've been an avid onlooker of acne.org for years! I've finally joined because I have questions of my own and hopefully the nice people on here can help me out. N...

It looks like you've had really good results. Did you ever have Total FX done? I was wondering if you have an opinion it. I searched on here, but didn't come up with much. Do you think Deep FX is a be...

Good luck, Collegeboy! I hope this works out well for you. BTW, why do you feel Deep FX is riskier than Max FX? I'm just curious to know your reasoning. I feel that DeepFX/Repair is riskier then...
