Considering the treatments I had I never could have traveled for at least a week after the procedure. The current face mask mandate actually works in your favor. Everything depends on what procedure...

Shei514, your scarring is very similar to what I had. People always bug me about posting before pictures because my before pictures would be from over 50 years ago, and there were no cell phones and ...

@mihaelaP , Did you read my list of treatments? The pictures I do have do not even come close to how bad the actual scars were. I really do not give a crap if you believe me or not. You are calling...

MihaelaP, I don't have any before pictures to show the extent of my scars. I tried to take pictures with my 35mm camera, but just didn't show what I wanted them to show. I had some pretty intense tr...

Your case is minimal to many of us. I probably have 70% improvement from my 5 Fraxel Repairs. I don't really see that you are at the point where you need to step up to the fractionalized CO2 laser. ...

Speaking as one who has done Dermabrasion -NO - NO - NO!!! I had no improvement and lots of scabbing and pain. Also don't waste your money on full face CO2 laser, not as much pain, but then again no...

Apprehension is natural since you have already put your trust in Facialists and they failed you. Begin with the least intrusive treatments first, and then progress in intensity until something works ...

Can we assume the top picture is a before picture? For most of us your scars would be considered minimal. You are good looking so almost everyone would ignore what seems to be so terrible to you. Th...

WOW, this post is legendary. It has been around almost as long as I have. Everybody was talking about Ernesto back then. I am happy to see he is still doing great. He is an Acne Scar Legend.

They are really pushing the Light Theraphy Mask. I don't think much about it, but I haven't been following the science either. What are your opinions?

You probably will not get many responses to your post since almost everybody on here is younger. I followed a similar path as you with dermabrasion at age 18 with little success, and then full ablati...

I had regular CO2 done back around 1996, and found it useless - the same for dermabrasion. Are you talking about fractionalized ablative CO2? My recovery time was about 2 weeks for my first treatmen...

I am a huge advocate of Fraxel Repair, but it must be done at a high megajoule. You are talking about actual ablation versus RF. Don't listen to any reviews of Fraxel unless the reviewer says Fraxel...

Usherer, do not do anything but Fraxel Repair - Restore and Dual are useless and a huge wast of time and money. I was scheduled to get restore and then the Plastic Surgeon came back in the room and t...

If you want to become aggressive then jump to Fraxel Repair. It is an ablative CO2 laser that penetrates to a depth of about 1.2-1.4 CM. Your scars don't go that deep. It is almost impossible to ge...

I seldom post anymore, but when I saw your pictures I had to say something. Your pictures mirror what I was dealing with. I did 5 treatments of Fraxel Repair, and saw an 80% improvement. Proper pro...

Obi wan, I am way behind on the technology, but as far I knew nobody was going to 110 mj with Repair. I have kind of lost interest because I am going for Plastic Surgery in January, and I only come o...
