Thank you, CherrySoda! I hope I've had improvement, and am not just imaginig it. I just realized the forum now shrinks images but gallery upload still allows larger images. I reposted my current pho...

Hey guys,   It's been a long time since I last updated. I've been incredibly busy with life. My improvement from my last laser procedure was subtle but there was improvement. I've attached some...

I did copy/paste however if you click on the show more link it will take you to the realself site where the original question was asked. I do find this interesting in some respects. I have read many ...

Interesting. I have read that post by the same doctor on other threads at Realself and they actually had a few replies from doctors recommending fractional co2. The thread you linked only has one repl...

Dr. Patel did treat Katie Piper. Her foundation also recommends his clinic for burn scar treatment:   I think it is wrong of him to claim he can erase acne scars, as if a laser is some kind of...

If your scars are really bound down then I think subcision would be the way to go. You could try it on a scar or two first if you're nervous. He did do light subcision on my scars while injecting th...

QuirkyFox,   Thinking of additional treatments and knowing you believe in the Dermaroller, what's your opinion on Dermapen? My doctor's esthetician offers Dermapen treatments and it is fairly i...

I think my expectations from Belotero were unrealistic. It is my own fault. I didn't ask my doctor any specific questions on what I could expect in terms of results. I also haven't talked to him since...

It has been two weeks since Belotero. I wish I had something positive to report but I am pretty disappointed and can't wait until my skin absorbs the filler. I have successfully accentuated my shallow...

Has someone been treated with SCAAR Fx already? Any experience good or bad? The only before/after picture that I found of acne scars treated with this laser is from the website of Dr Patel in London. ...

No_hope,   It is so good to read something positive in your journey. I hope your improvement continues and that you have found the right treatment for your scars! I am excited for you.   B...

I read that Belotero can last 6-12 months because it is injected interdermally, not subdermally like other HA fillers. As a result, it is supposedly protected from being dissolved as quickly by surrou...

I can't believe this is my first posting on your thread. Congrats on the great success. I never had the scabs you showed in your early posts. I had scabs after dermabrasion, but never after any of my ...

Thanks for your feedback, Quirky Fox! Glad someone else is familiar with the filler.   I read that Belotero can last 6-12 months because it is injected interdermally, not subdermally like other ...

Its so eaSy to prove it for yourself. Take 1/4 avocado and mash it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil(better safflower). Put the mask everyday on your face for 1 month. And then you can call me a scammer. ...

Apologies for the delay in replying. i did not know there were any new comments on my thread until now.   have a plan to have fraxel repair or mixto done, and knowing how long hyper pigmentatio...

Hey guys,   I am 5 weeks post my second Total FX procedure. I have attached current photos of my scars. As usual, I feel like my scars look worse at this point and I am dealing with hyperpigmen...

Hey Slee,   How are you healing? I am in the same boat as you with hyperpigmentation right now. Hopefully you are seeing some fading by now.

I have an appointment scheduled next week for light subcision with Belotero filler to smooth out my remaining boxcars and shallow indents. Wondering if anyone has experience with this filler. It is fa...

Hmmm..   Sorry for the late reply. Hope you are healing well. I still disagree with some of your observations and don't really get the point you are trying to make. You tend to contradict yours...

I believe you Dudley. I have read of skin tightening 2+ years after repair in cases related to anti-aging. I haven't heard of scars continuing to improve but I would think tighter skin would also imp...

Deep FX targets deep and is only used on areas with deep damage. It does not resurface the epidermis. You don't peel with Deep FX like you do with Repair, mixTo or Total FX.   Active FX is a fr...

I stand by what I said. Deep FX has more than a maximum ablation depth of 700 microns and Active FX has more than a maximum ablation depth of 120 microns. I don't know where you are getting that chart...

There is nothing you can quote on this forum that I have not read. I more than understand lasers. The depths you are quoting are incorrect. Watch this video from the start. You might find the ablation...

Keep in mind, in my research, I needed a laser that could improve deep damage. Softening of scars is great but after time, the surface returns to normal. At least, that's been my experience. I had one...
