I have had a reasonably good improvement from high settings on fraxel non-ablative, 6-8 treatments: Left: Right: Forehead & Transformation: Yes, it is worth it, especially if ablative (I can`t...

Scars. My temples look exactly the same so I feel your pain. My dermatologist says DeepFx at the highest setting for 3-6 sessions should give me 85 percent improvement though so look into that.

I have read so much conflicting information about lasers for treating acne scars and really want to get to the bottom of it. Many people say they don't help while others can't say enough good things....

so hard to say- it's really a roll of the dice if you don't have a lot of clogged pores to begin with, in theory you should be less likely to have a breakout...in theory just jump in, start on a lower...

Has anyone started Accutane when they were at a fairy clear point? The reason that I want to go on Accutane is that I am 26, tired of daily topical regimens, tired of diets (less than 100g of carbs a...

I am currently without insurance and in the process of getting my own policy. At 26, I need to try something so I am giving Accutane a shot. I am already on a very low carb diet, use tons of product...

1 month, 3 months, 6 months? I am 26 now so my skin doesn't heal as good as it did when I was younger. I have scarring from the past and would do anything to prevent additional but my acne is so dam...

Start talking about how it is hurting you mentally and that your self confidence is suffering. Say that you have researched every treatment option and want to use the one with the highest probability...

After 14 years of acne, I have been lucky enough to avoid scarring around my mouth area until possibly now. 3 weeks ago I got a nasty pustule which got pretty inflamed and painful for a few days. I ...

Fraxel Repair or Deep FX at the highest setting. I have done a ton of research and if you do that for multiple treatments, you should see significant improvement. That is my plan of action.

yes, yes, yes. stress definitely plays a role in how your skin appears. please find a way to discharge that energy that you're building up throughout the day. not sure what you do to relax, but find a...

26 year old male here. I have had acne for a good 14 years now and was one of the lucky few guys to not have it go away. I have done it all. Creams, diets, antibiotics. Each of them gave me result...

I say go on Accutane. Becoming resistant to a bunch of different antibiotics is not something that you want to have happen to you. I became resistant to mino, doxy, etc over the years. Well last yea...

No matter what I do, I can not stop all cysts/nodules/papules/pustules from coming up. I have to wait 4 months to go on Accutane as I just had lasik but will do ANYTHING to prevent further damage. I...

I'm in a similar situation. 26 years old and have had acne all of my life basically. I notice that lifting and exercising always makes it worse. I am finally giving in and going on Accutane in a fe...

Don't really see anything abnormal from the picture but sometimes pictures don't show everything. Could be an underground cyst forming. I have had nasty ones in the past that got very swollen and were...

Day 7: No new pimples. A few small clogged pores that lasted a day that I could just scratch off. Usually they get hard, stay for a few days, than get inflamed into big pimples or cysts. Oil is re...

Days 3 and 4: This stuff continues to amaze me. All of the BP I slather on my face, all of the AHA, all of the diet changes, all of the other b.s doesn't even come close to what getting the correct ...

Day 2: I took a full dose yesterday in the morning and at night and a full dose this morning. It may be in my head but I feel like I have less oil around my t-zone. Obviously no change in active ac...

I wanted to add this to the thread: Natural Cod Liver Oil (fermented) is nothing to be afraid of. All of the vitamins are natural and in the correct ratios. Brands like Carlsons and other common ...

Chronic acne sufferer here. Started at 13 and is still here at almost 26. As I get older, it gets worse. Anyway, last summer I found a fermented cod liver oil product from Green Pastures. It combi...

So I had Lasik the beginning of August and really want to go on Accutane now. Nothing will stop the cysts and acne is ruining my life so it's either that or cortisone shots daily. Anyone have any ex...

uggggggggh. I started lifting weights again on Monday and also went today. Now I have 5 new cysts.

I tried S.P. for a couple weeks not long enough for it to really help with my acne but it definitely lowered my libido so I quit taking it. That's exactly what I want to avoid. Seems like it's not ...
