Moonsoon, What are you upset about? Other than the discoloration, which will resolve in the next few weeks, your skin looks extremely smooth. I don't see any pores or scars. Where are your scars?

Same here Confettied, re: the issue of Dr. Y. retiring. It's always good to have 2 or more just to get optimal results. You should be able to go for another round 5-6 months after your first. Maybe...
