Sydboi - omg its so familiar! I catch my reflection on my phone's screen when it goes dark and just cant believe how bad it looks, uuugg! not to talk about taking pics in direct sunlight, hate hate h...

Hey guys, hope you're all doing ok. I started my fraxel re:store course, so far it's looking bright. I didn't have too big expectations from the first session as it was promised to me, that I'll see 1...

Skin's not my best friend lately. Broke out more than usual on the under-the-nose area and chin also a bit close to the ears. Combine it with still lingering post-fraxel redness and you'll get a crapp...

It's nothing like Spiro... The only side effect I have on Spiro is frequent urination and the list of side effects I got on Androcur goes on like this:   - Low blood pressure - Low red blood ce...

Hey guys! Just wanted to share my experience with Fraxel re:store so far, treating my rolling scars left over by cystic acne. 1,5 weeks ago I got my first treatment done and I can't tell you how excit...

  "I was battling borderline personality disorder, depression and self-harming at the age of 17-21, along with cystic acne until age 24. But as dark as the world can look at that moment, somewhe...

Pianina Just gotta echo missamua's thoughts on this. If it doesn't affect you that's great. Really. But for a lot of people it does, and being so condescending doesn't really help anyone does it? From...

I agree with most of what you said...but nobody "chooses" to have severe depression which is a serious mental illness that needs treatment. Telling someone it's all in their head isn't all that helpfu...

Great that it's working for you! Myself, I don't dare to do any harsh lasers like co2, so I'm gonna get Fraxel restore, which is not ablative. Probably gonna need at least 4 procedures, since my scarr...

Everybody knows someone who has whether acne or scars. Most people find scars even less visually disturbing than acne, frankly, since it's not something actively growing on your face. But even acne is...

      Had to drop my low card diet, mainly because my skin got so much worse on it, incredible. Might be my body went through some kind of purging, but I can't afford that right now. Bu...

1 month on low-carb diet! The worst is dealing with sugar cravings, especially when you work a lot and your body is begging for that cheap kick of energy. I found some fruity bars that are supposed t...

You scars are too few to take any drastic action like Re:pair. Perhaps advocates of subcision, dermrolling or fillers will come forward. Re:pair would definitely help you, but that is a huge step co...

Hey everybody,   I would really appreciate and advice on which treatment I should use for my deep rolling scars. I am terribly afraid of fraxel or any kind of laser resurfacing since I kinda fee...

Got a painful inflamed pimple on my cheek, which completely bums me out. I started a healthy diet some weeks ago, cut out sugar, dairy (I was avoiding dairy products since a long time ago, but occasio...

It's been a while since I logged in and posted an update, but this might be a right time, since I'm changing my diet completely. My skin is quite good, no larger spots or anything, just very ocassiona...

I feel utterly defeated. I saw a derm and was hopeful, I was even completely clear for an entire week...now however I have three big red spots, one on my left cheek, one my right and one on my chin. I...

I've been on Spironolactone for 7 months now (Yasmin - 9 months) and I'm extremely happy with the results regarding my acne. It disappeared almost completely. So the happiness and new found confidence...

Hey guys! I'm rarely logging in here, but this time I just wanted to say that any side-effects I was initially having from Yasmin+Spiro have disappeared some time ago and I literally have no acne any ...

I survived a trip to a hair saloon today, lol. It's been a while. My scars looked quite bad of course, especially compared to a lovely skin of the young hair dresser, who looked flawless even in the h...

I don't know what this site used to be, cause I joined last year, but after I was kinda "attacked" (don't know a milder word) after a stupid rant, which this site is filled with, I basically stopped p...

I have some minor break outs on my noseand forehead probably because i am so stressed, suffer from something like social anxiety (anxiety of making phone calls to be precise) and now i have to call 60...

My face is the clearest it has been in many years. I haven't had a single inflamed pimple or a cyst in such a long time now, my moods are stable and my periods are regular. But I realize I won't be on...

Feelin' quite ok about my skin. It breaks out occasionally but the pimples are very small and not inflamed at all. A bit of Epiduo usually kills them off in a day or two. I did a Fraxel Re:pair proced...

Not having acne isn't enough. Desperation and low self-esteem is not attractive, with acne or not.
