Side Effects
Non-ablative lasers are less invasive but also less effective than ablative lasers. Non-ablative, non-fractional lasers shine a focused beam of light on the entire skin, but does not remove (ablate) the skin.

Product used: CoolTouch (Laser Treatment)
Pros:
Very minimal discomfort....feels like being popped with a rubberband. No down time.
Cons:
A little redness / discomfort the day after. Be careful with too much sun exposure.
I just got the cool touch and v beam procedure yesterday. It will be followed by the fraxel laser surgery in 2 weeks, then more cool touch, v beam and fraxel. This will repeat for 6 treatments. I am hoping with this combination I can get rid of any existing acne and scarring. The total cost is 3,400...I am crossing my fingers that this combination therapy will be worth it!

Product used: CoolTouch (Laser Treatment)
Pros:
Makes your skin really smooth for a little bit
Cons:
My skin was always extra oily the next day, and say no improvments at all. in fact i got some new spots on my face.
Look for another treatment if you have sever acne scarring, this has little to no effect

Product used: CoolTouch (Laser Treatment)
Pros:
No downtime. Not as painful as most procedures. You get a double wammy because it stops the acne and helps improve scars too. Helps to produce less oil and bacteria and shrinks pores.
Cons:
Can be expensive. First laser pass a little painful. Takes a little while to see results.
I just had my first procedure today and I have 4 more laser treatments to go and included with my acne face package are 5 acne peels and also my chest done too where you can get breakouts. The first pass with the laser where they spot treat the active acne hurts like a rubber band snapping on you but they gave you numbing cream to dull the pain. Before I had the procedures I purchased the recommended medications and I already saw a great improvment using just those. I think with all the factors considered my skin is going to come out great.

Product used: CoolTouch (Laser Treatment)
Pros:
Skin feels smooth after treatment, no down time,
Cons:
Face is red and some swelling for about 6 hours. I had 6 treatments of the cool touch, as well as switching with the V-Beam Laser. My acne cleared up for about a month, now its worse than has ever been before
Didn't work for me.

Pros:
Seemed to have cleared up some scaring but not much...
Cons:
Takes forever to see a difference..
Im seriously not convinced this works.. I had three nlite's done once every month. Now im doing glycolic peels, im on my third peel and i have three more to do and still no difference. Im also using Is Clinical acne products aswell which cost an arm and a leg. I have to go back after i finish the peels for more nlite, apparently It works better with the facial peels we will see. I don't know if this will work but ive seen no improvments yet and im getting really fustrated with it. I feel that it is only a con.

Product used: Smoothbeam (Laser Acne Treatment)
Pros:
Completely cleared up my acne scars, and reduced breakouts for about a year.
Cons:
Acne came back.
After trying a variety of topical acne medications, as well as oral antibiotics, I decided to try smoothbeam since my acne kept coming back. I had many scars all over my cheeks due to the type of acne I had (cysts, and nodules). After 5 treatments at 333.00 a session my scars COMPLETELY went away and my breakouts were reduced to maybe one zit around the time of my period. After about a year acne free, and only using topical treatments to try and maintain the results, I decided to stop using the topical treatments. My acne came back and I had to do another 4 sessions of smoothbeam. I went on oral contraceptives which controlled the hormonal cause of acne, and topical treatments to control the bacteria. The acne is under control now, but I still get some breakouts. I am going to try a new treatment called ISOLAZ to see if I can control the breakouts. Bottom line, I would definintely recommend this for acne scars, not so much to control acne breakouts.

Pros:
doesnt hurt, no down time.
Cons:
EXPENSIVE. takes 2-3 months to see full results. have to be patient. takes 3-4 treatments for best results in my opinion.
if you have moderate acne scars definately do it. if you have severe, scaring, probably not worth it. but ive had rediculously amazing results. couldnt be happier. just have to be patient.
