Changed my life
I have been doing the treatments for 8 years or so. I would have 8-10 deep open cysts/sores on my face and scarring at any given time. Products burned and didn't work. Antibiotics worked, but I didn't like the risk involved. My dr. said Accutane was the only solution left. My husband insisted we try to find something other than Accutane. I found Isolaz. There was an initial ramp up period where I went every other week or so to get the cystic acne under control. I believe I did 4 ramp up treatments to get clear. I pay 265.00 a treatment. From there I started doing a treatment every 3 months, then 4 months.... I stabilized at needing a treatment every 6-7 months. I still get "hormonal" breakouts and the occasional pimple. Isolaz does NOT treat those, and you should go thru a good consultation and understand what it does and does not treat prior to undergoing. I am cystic acne free. When I start to feel a cyst node start - I know its time to book a treatment. Like I said - every 6-7 months. It is mildly uncomfortable in sensitive areas during the treatment. My face feels sunburned the rest of the day. I am able to reapply my makeup and return to work without any ill effects. It takes about a week for any existing problem areas to clear up. By about 1 week post treatment, I am good for the next 6 months or so. Can't say enough about how great this was for me. To NOT have to go on Accutane or burn my skin off with products is wonderful. I use Murad skin care products for daily cleansing and skin care. I can say this treatment has made a world of difference for me.

Isolaz works!
One year ago, i broke out in terrible ance and decided to go for a session of isolaz. However, i did not continue with the treatment because it was too expensive. Instead, i continued with 10 other chemical peel within a span of a year. That did clear up my skin together with topical treatment of tretinoin 0.05 (nightly) and differin 0.1 (morning). I was so grateful to have back beautiful skin for a while and started trying new makeup products. That was when all hell broke loose within 3 months. My advice to all you ladies using makeup to cover up is to make sure the makeup is suitable for your skin. Also, the key to makeup is a makeup remover. In my scenario, my skin couldn't take benefit boi-ing and urban decay powder and foundation. I am now back to using estee lauder which i have always been using prior to serious breakouts. Since my crazy breakout, i decided to go back on isolaz treatment to hasten the process of getting rid of ance. My topical treatment of using AHA (morning and night), tretinoin 0.05% (nightly- whole face) and stevia a 0.1% (nightly- add on top on tretinoin on pimple areas) continues even while on isolaz. So i have gone for my first isolaz and that felt like it really clear my pores and kickstart the absoprtion of ance creams. This because after that isolaz, a lot of the bumps under my skin was surfacing as papules. At the two week mark just before my next treatment, i had 15 papules all over my chin. This however subsided after my second isolaz treatment. Super grateful honestly. 2 weeks from now, i will be going on my 3rd isolaz session. With what i have gone through so far, i can honestly tell you that isolaz does help in clearing up your ance. The earlier you start on it, the earlier you will start clearing up your ance. Be strong and keep going because one day you are gonna wake up and realized that your ance has cleared up entirely. Remember to not stop your topical treatment. I will update you guys when i go for my 3rd isolaz. Till then, for all you who are still wondering if you should go on isolaz, please go!

Hi how's the update
September 10, 2009

Pros:

Compared to other laser treatments I liked that no prep/cooling gels were needed - I just had to wash my face, only water was used during the quick 10-min procedure, and it was actually comfortable. I bought groceries and went running afterwards.

Cons:

May seem like a con that is isn't covered by insurance but what I paid for my procedure was what I was spending on my acne yearly anyway. After Isolaz I discontinued meds, copays, peels, etc - and now I just use a salicylic treatment gel morn/eve.

This is THE new option for acne patients. It's safe, quick, comfortable, and when you put the #s to paper on what you're spending yearly, affordable.
