- I am from the UK yes, I had laser treatment on the NHS years ago but that made it a lot worse unfortunately. I've spent 2k + in the last 9 or so months getting treatment...I'm getting there, I think...

This sounds like paranoia to me, and I have acne scars too. You probably have some confirmation bias because the smiling thing doesn't even sound like normal human behavior. Your scarring seems to mai...

Your first post, didn't you post on another account a couple of days ago?

Yeah I have been using Clearsil Ultra blemishes+marks exfoliator and vitamin C serum. I haven't got a moisturiser yet, does E45 cream count?? And my dermalogist said that the NHS don't do acne/acne sc...

I find the more you show your bothered about your face, by looking depressed, head down all the time, you then tend to make it stand out more, meaning you will no doubt not make any friends.. just act...

Wouldn't think you had cyst acne would you? Brilliant results you should be proud of yourself mate!   I bet those people who made fun of you aren't laughing anymore .

  That's strange. It was likely the hydrogel that clogged up the pores. Try oil cleansing! With hot water, soak a cloth (preferably a microfiber one) and then just cover your whole face with i...

Why not post an image and we can tell you if they are ice pick, or red marks as you think?

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. W...

My doctor did give me some sample size tubes of aquafor (which didn't last very long for me lol), but he had told me what to get beforehand (cetaphil and aquafor).   Beforehand! I wish my doc...

Thanks Robertitoo, will post back here with results.

Hey, it's good to hear your successful results.   Was your scaring pitted? Do you have any before and after photos we could see?

Fraxel is just a brand name. And there's Fraxel Restore (nonablative), and Fraxel Repair (ablative fractional CO2). I had Mixto CO2 done, which is similar to repair, so I'll share my recovery experien...

Why aren't you doing subcision? You'll get far better results for less money.   It's not really an option, I can't afford treatment at the moment, I have only ever heard of getting laser treat...

There are serious risks with putting lemon juice on your face, citric acid can cause a phototoxic reaction called phytophotodermatitis, an inflammatory reaction that results in bruise-like hyperpigmen...

Difficult to answer number one. I went in for an IPL and the esthetician recommended fraxel for an icepick scar. I would say it helped a decent amount after about a month.   I was told to use ...

Sorry to create a whole topic for this, but I am using lemon juice to bleach my face, trying to lighten it up before fraxel repair in a few weeks time.   If I squeeze some lemon juice and store ...

If you live in the UK, you may be able to get silicone sheets on prescription free from your doctor. That's what I was going to do.

Fraxel Repair - The Gold Standard since 2008. You are a pretty girl.   Dudley, I see you recommend Fraxel Re:Pair a lot on this forum, and looking at your signature it looks like it's working ...

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The amber bottle is a little too small I think, you need room to shake the thing up. Thanks Factold, what ml bottle would you recommend? Am I right to say that it is id...
