I suppose many people know not to do that by now, but here's an interesting tidbit specifically as to why that I learned from my dermatologist:   If you ever have acne, and it eventually bursts a...

Good for you. Go on the attack, this is your life. You have not reached final results, and you do still have some microswelling, so you will need multiple laser treatments. Yeah, that's what I su...

Huh, so apparently my doctor said I could do my touch-up at two months, which matches up with what some other people have been saying about maximum downtime required for a fractional ablative procedur...

Yeah, I'm gonna take another set of pictures at exactly one month, then two, then three, then four, then after my touch-up, and more from there.

If that's 11 days out your results are looking very good so far. Micro swelling should be pretty much gone by now. Looks like you had a little bit of active acne before which is making the after pic...

Hello, I posted on these boards before regarding my acne scar treatments. I was doing Lux 1540, but I will be heading back into school this fall and, thus, will have much less time for treatments, t...

as far as I am aware about stem cell research for acne scars in general, it speeds up the healing process but doesn't necessarily improve final results. Definitive results have been hard to evaluate...

My theory, and it is only worth what you will pay for it, is that the more intense the laser the more likely it will last. If a lower powered laser creates less sweling and less improvement as the sw...

Can I just ask a question. Alot of people on here are saying you can use Retin A and a dermaroller at the same time. The plastic surgeons on the NHS say u must be off retin A for at least a year befo...

Having spoken to more doctors, my previously noticed trend seems more prominent: plastic surgeons don't think lasers work, dermatologists and dermatological surgeons do. Not sure what's behind this tr...

I've heard quit a bit of testimonies on this forum that laser is not permanent.   As far as I can tell, all of those testimonies referred to micro-swelling, which can last up to two weeks after...

I'm still continuing to correspond with him, I will continue to post up what he says. Also, I have relayed the issue to my dermatologist as well, and asked him for his opinion again, especially in l...

This only pertains to scarring not PIH right?   Yes, PIH is not scarring. Has anyone heard from other doctors? What are their opinions?

Not sure if you guys know about Dr. Garcia, but he's a doctor in Las Vegas that answers questions about plastic surgery procedures. I asked him some questions about laser resurfacing, and this is what...

As far as I can tell, the only thing confirmed about these stem cell treatments is that they improve healing time, but not necessarily results. There certainly hasn't been any substantial comparativ...

Congratulations, dude, you're lookin' really good.

This is very encouraging news. I am scheduled to take the Lux 1540 six days from now, and I am glad to hear that even three years ago people were having good results with the laser. I know it mainly c...

Just wanted to point out that the first link, "Environ Medical Roll CIT" is currently broken, here's a working link: EDIT: Hm, it appears I cannot post links. If the OP would like the working li...
