Pros:
It reduced my chin scars that were mild to moderate by about 75%. I t produces collagen and makes your whole face wrinkes and all look younger. It takes at least two tx and time for the collagen to fill in depressions. I wear no make-up now.
Cons:
IT costs 4900 for 2 and you look like a monster for 7-10 days and can't go to work. It hurts too.
it can take up to a yr for full results. My chin scars improved by 75%. But of course i want them to be 100%. I don't think that will happen. It also takes about 5-10 yrs off your face, due to the collagen. It;s used for everything. You have too use retin a and hydroquine creame for a long time to increse the results. I go on the 30 for my two month post check after my 2nd one. Then you have a deep glycolic peel. The MD will let me no if i need another one. Before he said no and i'd never have to put fillers in my chin again. Overall i'm happy. I'm just too hard on my skin and want it too look like a baby's butt. Is there such a thing when your 39 and had acne on your chin. I also had some depressions from kenalog injections for yrs.It's called the coolaser at epione in bevery hills. That is the only place to get it, d/t the MD invented it and keeps it exclusive to himself.I still see imperfections on my chin, but i may have to deal with it. Again it was worth it.

Pros:
Less scarring
Less red/dark spots
Less wrinkles
Cons:
Oozing & Crusting / Healing time
Cost
Risks involved
After 2 treatments of CO2 laser my skin is so much better! The scars on my left cheek (the worse one) improved about 85% and you can barely see the scars on my right cheek now. In fact, I'd like to have the procedure done one more time just on the left cheek. (fyi - I had bad boxcar scarring from bad acne & cystic acne in previous years) This laser requires you to be under general anesthesia during the procedure. It took layers off my skin and I left the hospital looking like a mummy all bandaged up. My biggest advice is to make sure you get an excellent surgeon that comes with several recommendations and one that you feel comfortable with. Check out my before & after pictures and documented healing over the two procedures (which were done about 16 months apart). [link removed] name (username): AngStone
