Laser therapy is thought to work by inhibiting the activity of skin oil (sebaceous) glands, killing acne bacteria, and reducing inflammation.
It is usually performed about 5 times in 2 to 4-week intervals.
..If thats what u want to call the 'doctor's' who work in these 'clinic'
It did clear up my breakouts, but who knows what it will do in a couple months from now.
Told me the redness would only be a couple hours after treatment.Its been 3 days & Im BEYOND red,burnt&bruised.I called them today,& they want to see me as soon as I get out of work.I cant believe I worked for the past 3 days looking like this!!!
After 5 sessions of of Smoothbeam (immediately followed by V-Beam) laser my face was totally clear! I only needed minimal skin care to keep it looking great. I had clear skin for 2 years.
Very expensive (about $350 per session for full face), can be painful, I couldn't go anywhere the rest of the day after having a treatment because of redness (which was gone the next day). It's not permanent (lasts about 1-2 years).
Skin alot smoother, far less breakouts, not alot of downtime, treatment is quick, the laser can be set at different levels for your tollerance
it can be quite pricey, can't garentee results for everyone, can be a little uncomfortable until you get used to the laser

Little redness after treatments, skin is less oily too.
Hurts a little, and not much of an improvement.

My skin has come out in worse spots then i originally had. I feel like I have wasted a lot of money for nothing.
I feel better in myself, can see a big improvement in skin.
painfull, takes ages to see a difference, gets WORSE before it gets better.
Skin got better shortly after the treatments, but this was just a short-term improvement.
I had 3 treatments over the period of 2,5 months, last treatment 1 month ago. Each treatment was preceded by acid peel (50%) and the second treatment was preceded by both acid peel and microdermabrasion.
One month after the last treatment, my face looks as bad as it did before the treatments, although the areas of my face that were originally affected are now clear and I have outbreaks in the places that had never been affected before.
None
caused severe hyperpigmentation
