GoldRex-That's great congrats! I hope it does that for me! What type of scars did you have? Rolling scars on my cheeks. They're much less noticeable, but they've never exactly been of the "Oh my ...

Accutane has helped my scarring tremendously, and my skin is not dry. I load up on moisturizers (that, thanks to the accutane, never break me out) to keep my skin hydrated (notice I say hydrated, and ...

Girliegirl, what's your ethnic descent?   More to the point, and hopefully you know it, what's your Fitzpatrick skin type?

God, GO, don't be such a beast. Just PM him, get the reply, and post it yourself if his "evasion" is really sending you into fits.

Wildcard... the Tri-Luma you brought up is a great point... It does contain a cortisone, which is known to fragile the skin, specifically by thinning it.

It's a book called "Breaking Out" by Lydia Preston.

I would do it, but I would specify to the colorist that I want off-the-scalp highlighting. I do think the bleach could burn you pretty badly if you've got already sensitized skin. Just ask her to stag...

Amnesiac-- Your skin texture will improve. I firmly believe that this is what separates mechanical resurfacing from laser resurfacing, even chemical resurfacing. It all "clicked" when I was reading a...

How're you doing, Kiki? Did the breakout finally diminish?

Montana-- I think, honestly, the younger the better. I've got no real way of substantiating that, other than the fact that when we're young, we heal more quickly. Re-epithelialization will happen soon...

Fantastic news, Misty! Hope you come out as pretty as you went in.

Oh, wow... That does make me uncomfortable.

......   Did he perform the phenol peel under your eyes, to blend that area...?

Meete Pete: were your dermabrasions of the diamond fraise kind, or the wire brush?

Hmmm. Thanks for your honesty, Monsoon. Remember, though, that dermabrasion also involves a lot of collagen remodeling after the initial procedure, and after the re-epithelialization. I think things w...

Hmmm. This is an interesting post. Yes-- who was your doctor? Was it an NYC doc? I know that Carmen dell'Orefice, the 70+ model, has had it done. It's supposedly a wonderful treatment that's gotten a ...

Fantastic post, Kiki-- day 7 is extremely useful, because I think I can detect where some of your scarring was. Nevertheless, at 13, it looks gone.

PS. Were any of you guys still having some breakouts when you had this done? If not, for how long have you been "acne-free?"

OKay. At the risk of sounding like this post's crazy, troublemaking bitch:   KiKi, did you retouch the lower half of the frontal-face picture? Thea area about your jaw looks rather blurred. Perha...

Leo, that was fantastic.   It's exactly that kind of information all of us need.

At least you'll be in good hands, Leopolda. I'm sure the results will be beautiful!

It was in newspapers in the UK. I think his name, irl, was also Marc Sheep. Very sad. He was quite articulate.

An interesting note: I notice that I thirst much more often since starting HA... Tonight will be my third... by the time I go to bed, I'll have taken 1350 mg of HA.... I'll probably have to up my ...

I heard that, too, when I first discovered spenco, so I emailed them about it, and was told that they were -not- discontinuing 2nd skin ointment.
