Cons:
Pain of treatment, down time, cleansing routine, cost, hyperpigmentation, still have scars!
Pros:
a bit resurfaced the skin, scarring is not as deep as before. pain is tolerable, as if you are just dumped in a pail full of friendly ants.
Cons:
very expensive, seeing your face swollen like that makes you anxious that it wouldn't come back to normal but after 4 days, it did came back to its original shape.
Pros:
Massive improvement in scarring, pigment, and breakouts. Self esteem is no longer non-existent.
Cons:
Very uncomfortable, Down time, Improvement does take time.
Pros:
Removed melasma (85% after the first treatment), smaller pores, plumped skin, more even skin tone, easily look 5 years younger.
Cons:
The pain while managable, is still very real! The downtime was way more than expected...easily 4 days. Very swollen for 2 days after I looked like balloon girl, followed by another 2 days of peeling, followed by another 2 or 3 days of acne.
Pros:
Saw immediate reduction of pores on 2nd treatment, 1st got rid of brown sun spots on face and chin. Skin has less congestion. Large brown spot on face has not come back.
Cons:
Hurts, but the results are worth it. 1st treatment, I was swollen for 3 days. Less the next treatments. Must use sunscreen on a daily basis in a sunny climate and I have olive skin that never used to burn.
Pros:
after 1 treatment i have improved melasma, smaller pores, overall improved skin tone. a good dr is a must. stay in close touch with any problems.
Cons:
subjective. it wasn't that painful, i've had worse. i had 1 day down and went to work, peeling, swelling and all. i didn't die. acne can be treated if needed.
Pros:
Skin looks and feels great after 1 treatment.
Cons:
Not cheap. Minor break out.
Pros:
I think mircolaser peel helped me a lot because I noticed my ance scars r less a lot after first treatment and healing my skin in four weeks. I just had second treatment last two days ago. I will have to wait to notice it in four weeks. I might won't
Cons:
I know it's experive and I hate swelling, itchy and sore for a few days but its worth it!
Pros:
almost 98% of my scars were gone, it was like i was given a new face. absolutely loved it
Cons:
Hurt, a lot. Took about a solid week to completely recover. MY face is still a little redder than the rest of my body now. Also, after a few weeks I was breaking out again.
Pros:
My scars were mostly on the cheeks and temples, mostly rolling with a few ice pick. I can see a big difference. My settings were high and I did take pain medicines. I was told the final result will not be seen for 6 months. Very encouraged.
Cons:
I had redness and swelling for 2 days, puffy eyes for 3-4 days. I had a lot of heat in my face for about 1 hour after the treatment. Flaking was bad the 3rd day but then skin was great. Lots of moisturizer used.
Pros:
The emotional anticipation of a beautiful face
