Here are the photos from before and after. EDIT: For some reason it won't let me upload the before photos. The one closeup of my eye is to show the difference in color between the Ultrapulse MaxFX and...

Collegeboy84, You remind me so much of my husband. He has the same kind of scarring too. While he does suffer from mild breakouts, I do think his scars are related to facial hair. He plucks too, and ...

This is a little off subject but I wanted to give a little history about my scars. Most people will find this very hard to believe but my scars are not from acne. I actually made several posts about t...

This is interesting on a comparison between Fraxel & Active/Deep FX: One doctor says Active/Deep FX is the most expensive laser. Who knows? So much conflicting information out there. I agr...

I HATE the sound of the DeepFX laser... brings back bad memories of the one they used on my eyes. Interesting how he slightly pulls back the skin. How does Fraxel repair compare with DeepFX? I find ...

Just a random thought... As I mentioned before, when I stretch the skin, my scars (including the ice-picks) flatten and become nearly even with the rest of my skin. So a 1 mm deep icepick scar woul...

Guys I have some horrible news. I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, and to my dismay, I was looking at the face that closely resembled that of Michael Jackson. (Hypopigmentation) Hehehe! ...

I am not sure how else to respond to the hypo-pigmentation statement posted by Sanjoseskin other then to say, I know there is a big risk of permanent hyper and hypo-pigmentation, along with scarring, ...

Either way I will probably have the fully ablative CO2 Ultrapulse done on my scars as I believe that is more effective then this fractionated approach. That is unless I see significant results in 6 m...

That's great progress collegeboy84. But what confuses me is that, judging from your pictures, your ice pick scars hardly look as if they are deep. And if we are to follow the logic of laser depth, w...

I don't recall if I mentioned this in a previous post but I was in excruciating pain when they did the Ultrapulse, which is a FULLY ablative (NOT-FRACTIONAL) CO2 laser, because they nurse did not appl...

Hey collegegy I haven't read your whole post but the lines you are probably seeing are where they missed your skin with the laser, basically they didn't do a thorough job of 100% coverage. I had the ...

Yes I will post pics soon. Summer school just started and I have been pretty busy with work but I will soon get around to it... even if my skin is still red. I will probably post pictures every month ...

how are the result 84? did your scars improve or gone? Just got back from my 3rd post-op appointment with the doc (day 15 since the procedure). I think there is an improvement, but very subtle so ...

You look great, and I still wish I had your abs. LOL Progress will sneak up on you after the initial decline. I didn't initially think I made much progress after my 5th Re:pair after the swelling w...

might be a silly question but HOW DID U GET HOME? lol... did they badage you up ? I drove home... I was already VERY bloody and very swollen... I was actually still a little high from the drugs th...

Day 5! Healing pretty good. I actually went out for a run once the sun went down but after getting a few blocks from my house I ended up turning around. The wind blowing on my fresh skin under the eye...

It has been 96 hours (4 days for those who hate math) since my Fraxel Co2. I just had my 1st post-op appointment with the Doc. She says I am healing fine and to stop using the Aquaphor everywhere exce...

Oh btw, In case anyone was wondering... this is where I had my treatment done at.

About 4 hours ago I had Fraxel:Repair (the ablative CO2 fractionated laser) done on my temples, forehead and cheeks. Dr. McClaren also used the Ultrapulse CO2 done around the eyes because it was bett...
