Ozay, I am not done. I am older so my next step is plastic surgery. Then and only then may I post pictures. Actually the pictures posted above by Robertitoo look very much like my beginning and aft...

Frankly, your best course of action may be nothing. Any actions you take could result in making things worse. Most people on here would take your skin as a final result any day. As you age you will ...

il90, it is vitally important for people to do outside research. While this forum is a very good resource there are those who will direct people away from treatments that may help them based on hears...

First things first, people need to quit quoting posts that are a mile long. 2nd this is not a forum about curing acne, there is another forum for that. This is a forum about scars and their treatmen...

Ozay, my research is old, but Mixto was never in the league with Fraxel Repair or DeepFX. Repair at 70mg goes down about 1.4mm which seems to be the best depth, because I understand you really don't ...

You will need multiple treatments at high intensity. I suggest Fraxel REPAIR.

You have to wait for the microswelling to go down, so at about 3 months you will have a pretty good idea. You will actually see additional improvement via collagen growth, but it is subtle. You are ...

It appears you will need at least a 2nd laser. The key is that this is a cummulative process, and that is where most people don't follow through. Remember there is no such thing as 'one and done'. ...

You are doing fine. I see that you didn't experience the extreme swelling that I did. MJ is MegaJoules or just ask about the depth of penetration. I believe anything deeper than 1.4mm and you get in...

Relax my friend, the redness will fade. At one week I was still quite red, and by 2 weeks mine looked more like a sunburn. The first treatment is always the worst. That was an excellent post by Sca...

I had no choice but to use the solution because I was using Aquaphor, and I reapplied that about every 3 hours. DO NOT use a washcloth!! You are doing nothing more than rinsing. I believe I used 10...

First things first, you have to relax. I would hope that the doctor gave you something like Xanax to calm your nerves. If he did not then go onto the internet and Google Guided Meditation, and follo...

Acne scarring is not a big topic but curing the signs of aging is a multibillion dollar industry. It is through the cosmetic industry that all progress will come. Follow the money trail.

I believe I was given Lortabs for pain, but it was the Xanax that really helped during the recovery. The pain was really not that bad, and I could have done without the pain meds, which I only took th...

FortunesHill, the mj has to do with the power or depth, and the % has to do with the coverage. 100% would be almost impossible as I see it. I may be wrong but that is how I have always taken it. Pa...

Fortunes Hill - your percentage of improvement will be directly related to the MegaJoules of your Repair. I realized about 30% but I was also treated at 70mj-60%. As I said I experienced extreme swell...

So it's 3 weeks today before my first ever treatment for my rolling scars. I have a few questions if anyone has had the treatment done before, could you kindly answer them for me?   1. What perce...

Ok, I'll likely get repair on my other side. That is a lot of repair treatments, just curious how severe was your scarring? I am hoping I would have to do no more than 2. My scarring was severe enou...

No question about it go with Repair. I was warned off Restore by a plastic surgeon who said it would do no good, and this was before Repair came out. Look at my signature.

I don't post pictures here. I reached a level of satisfaction that allowed be to stop treatments. I may do it again as I age.   Tanja - Fraxel Repair is the Gold Standard of Ablative CO2.

Fraxel Repair - The Gold Standard since 2008. You are a pretty girl.

That sounds like a ripoff to me. How much extra work does it do to do multiple passes? You are wise to choose ablative CO2, but I would look for another doctor who is more concerned about you than his...
