Works great
I have been a member of this site since I was in my early 20's (when I started getting moderate acne). It slowed down through the years but it sometimes picks up and it picked up last summer. I started getting cystic pimples near my chin that took forever to go away. They would never come to a head and I had to just wait it out cause they were not poppable. I read about oil of oregano (I use the oreganol P73). I started taking internally, a few drops under my tongue a day. Then one day I put it -
I joined this group over 10 years ago when I was suffering from moderate acne in my early 20's. I took a break from it once my skin cleared for the most part since I didn't ever want to look back. I used Dan's regimen back in the day and that helped me A LOT. I also received smoothbeam treatments which helped with some mild scarring. I get the occasional hormonal breakouts now with a killer cyst on my chin or cheek which typically brings me back to this site (like today). Last week, I flew cros

Actually, I am not sure if those products cured his acne but I can attest to the site herbdoc.com and have been using those products (to cleanse the bowel) for many years now (5 years or so). I have also been a member of this group for probably over 10 years now and suffer from mild to moderate acne. From lots of research on the topic, I do know that cleansing the bowel helps detox your body and clear acne. It has certainly helped me along with the regime.

To All Those Who Got Smoothbeam Over a Year Ago...
Aus123 replied to Derek C's topic in Scar treatments
I agree with Frozenblizz, I had around 6 Sb's. The last one being over a year ago. At first it's very frustrating because it's a gradual process. I would say that my VERY mild scars disappeared within 3 weeks of my FIRST session. And each session after, the scars would fade minimally over time. 2+ years later I am happy I went through with it. My scars were very minimal and just on my cheeks but give it time and it does yield improvement for those with mild indents. I would still go for a touch -
Hey, Had a cold sore about a month ago..had never had one before and not only was it unsightly but it left a scar right to the right of my mouth...has anyone here ever scarred from a cold sore?? And if so, what did you use for it in the healing process? would it be the same as an acne scar?

I had my second Smoothbeam on Thursday, done only on my cheeks. On Saturday I notice that I have what appears to look like a bruise of some sort underneath my eye, it's small but I have no idea what caused it. I don't think I hit it or anything. Could this have anything to do with the Smoothbeam even if it didn't go anywhere near my eyes? Has this happened to anyone before?

Finch, I did the V-Beam for red marks about a month ago and noticed a slight fading of the marks...it wasn't until I did Smoothbeam though (around 3 weeks ago) that I noticed an even more drastic improvement. I started noticing around 2 1/2 weeks after the SB so I am assuming Smoothbeam may help as well. Perhaps you should look into the combination as well.

Smoothbeam is definitely pretty amazing. I had my first treatment almost 3 weeks ago, mind you I have very minimal and mild scarring on both cheeks. I have many lingering red marks that were/are taking forever to fade as well as some shallow indents. Well just in the past few days I've noticed a big change. I guess I noticed while applying my make up the other day..normally I have to use my liquid concealer to "fill" in some of the scars and I actually had to search for the marks that I normally

mandelic acid (for red marks and acne)

Just wondering if you can you use this stuff along with BP or is it supposed to replace the BP?? -
Have any of you guys ever had smoothbeam done on an active pimple? Does it help it go away faster or does it worsen the situation?
-
I had my first SB done two weeks ago tomorrow. My scars are quite minimal and are on both cheeks. My doc did one side on a 12 and the other on a 13. I got one blister on the 12 side and the side she did 13 on was swollen for about a week and that's all. I am fair skinned. Half Irish and half Italian. I'd say more Irish in the face. I noticed a smoother complexion within the first week and can't wait to do more. Hang in there all.

Thanks guys. Yeah I know I should avoid the sun and of course wear sunscreen and for now this isn't a problem as it's cold out but I wonder if I get a session done in Dec sometime, if this is a bad idea because I am going away after Christmas...I wonder how soon after Smoothbeam any of you had been exposed to the sun.
-
Can someone tell me how long after you get a Smoothbeam treatment you can go in the sun? Thanks!

Well I just joined the Smoothbeam team. Had my first session today. One side was on a level 12 and the other a 13. Pinched a bit but wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Spots look a tiny bit more red and my skin still feels cool and tingly (and tight)...feels nice actually. Will update more in time...

P Kid, It was $250 for my cheeks... not so bad
