Lol, I don't feel uncomfortable, honestly. If I felt uncomfortable, I wouldn't have posted these pictures to begin with. I was just reiterating some points. Thank goodness! So, can I grill you som...

I understand and appreciate your reasoning. I fully respect you for even responding and explaining. No worries.

What exactly would I have to gain by making an old post about Lux 1540 and then posting a few months later about Mixto? What would there be to be gained? Please understand that we're all skeptics ...

DRaGZ, I really want to believe you but I'm having a difficult time. When comparing your November photos to your April photos, are your sides flipped? In other words, do your before photos on this ...

Wow! I would like an explanation too. I understand lighting can minimize scars but your photos from November are crystal clear. You can even see your pores clearly in your November photos. No wonder w...

This is interesting on a comparison between Fraxel & Active/Deep FX: One doctor says Active/Deep FX is the most expensive laser. Who knows? So much conflicting information out there.

This pdf (download) talks about the depth of penetration, and also mentions 5-100% ablation is possible with UltraPulse: [Edited link out] It also mentions the low cost to maintaining UltraPulse...

This is a better video showing Deep FX. Notice how he talks about pulling the skin and only treats areas with wrinkles and scars. He follows up Deep FX with Active FX, but the Active FX for superficia...

With Deep FX, my doctor only treated my scars on my cheeks & temple. I didn't experience any peeling after treatment. I had redness, bleeding, and swelling. I wasn't looking to improve overall ski...

Deep FX is shown here at the begining (Active FX follows Deep FX): I know my doctor also pulled the skin on my cheek slightly as the laser's placeholder was focused over each scar. I've actually ...

Are you using a sunblock to protect your skin when outdoors?

actually japan use the same chinese character. So it's common to mix them up.   Yeah, I can read a little bit of kanji (Chinese characters) but I couldn't make any sense out of the photo captio...

I feel stupid because I'm the only one that can't read Chinese.   Lol! I think the only one here who understood the photo was Anthony Tong. I looked at it thinking, "that's Japanese?" Wow. I'm...

No scar tissue = no acne scars. Stem Cells and Re-Cell sound very interesting for me. A combo of Co2 + Re-cell sounds like it would give amazing results but im sure will run me over $5000+   I'...

LZOMG,   Your scars are not that deep. Why would you want to go deeper than your acne scars? I can't imagine any doctor would be willing to use that depth on acne scars. Lasers are dangerous enou...

If you or collegeboy84 don't want to believe that and risk permanent and total pigment loss, then by all means go ahead. Haha. There's no way I would consider fully ablative Co2. I've just read it...

At this link, doctor at the bottom says Max FX is fractional, while the first says it's a Co2 laser by Lumenis: Obviously, I am still confused. Never found a dermatologist/plastic surgeon in LA wh...

On 6/13/2012 at 1:16 PM, LZOMG said: MAX FX is to Active FX as SCAAR FX is to DEEP FX Active Fx can turn into Max FX where it is completely ablative just like the Deep FX can turn...

Max FX is fractional. Realself lumps it together with Active FX. "ActiveFX, also called MaxFX, is fractional laser technology used an anti-aging treatment."   Ahhh, Coherent Ultrapulse is full...

While the technology is slightly different, Ultrapulse is fractional Co2: [Edited link out] It's probably safer on eyelids than Re:pair. Deep FX or Re:pair is probably deep enough for your scars...

I agree with my myskin2012. I wouldn't waste more time or money with your current derm. If he could help you, you wouldn't be here right now or using topicals to treat deep scars. He also wouldn't cha...

I would do both. What do you have to lose? Your scars are not going to be gone by August either way. I don't think your current derm can help you much. I would schedule as many appointments as possibl...
