I know that most people have acne on their face, but as for me, I have them on my shoulder and back. If I get them laser, do you think it will work?

I had a ProFractional laser treatment last October. I am 50 yrs old, and have lived w/mod-severe acne scarring all my adult life. My dermatologist told me that this great new laser treatmt would greatly improve my scarring, though it certainly would not be a miracle cure.

I was excited (and anxious) to have the procedure. I feel the procedure (probably the dr.) has DISFIGURED MY FACE!

I have patches where the laser made "divets", ruining contours of my cheekbones, and giving me much more severe scarring than I had had before the procedure.

I went to a plastic surgeon a few months later, and she injected Radiesse (filler) to try and fill some of the scars. Didn't work, and I developed a "cyst" of Radiesse that may take mos.... to resolve.

Then went to a new dermatologist and had a TCA chemical peel 25% (he knew of my history). Now I have even more "divet" patches.

Needless to say, when I look in the mirror I feel hysterical and hopelessly ugly.

I would sue the first dermatologist, but feel I wouldn't be successful in receiving any compenstation (at least it might pay for psychological damage).

Is there anyone who has had this procedure, and had these results??

Hi, i tried fraxel for acne scarring. i saw about 15% improvement after six high setting sessions. I don't think it's worth the money you pay. But then those of us with scarring know any kind of improvement is exciting. Also, fraxel has worked better than microbrassion, facials, accupuncture and minimal basic stuff. My next step now will have to be the C02 laser. After that i will stop. At some point i'll have to be happy with who i am and live life and enjoy it instead of spending ALL my money on acne scarring.....hopefully i see some improvement with the C02. Best of luck to everyone else out there. I do want to tell you though, i work in the fashion style industry, i see gorgeous people in London everyday and i honestly never in my life looked at someone with acne scarring and thought they were unattractive or ugly. I barely worried about my own skin till i dated someone who told me they couldn't love me because of it. I guess this is more about their mental problems than my own physical ones, unfortunately it did leave me with a complex. I think it is great to try to be the best you can be, but at some point you need balance in your life and to put things in perspective. We'll probably all get over scarring just in time to deal with wrinkles lol..... :)

I have had sensitive skin since I was a young girl and ever since I started working, it has gotten worse. My job requires me to do a lot travelling and keep long hours. As such, my sensitive skin developed acne over time and with my busy schedule, I haven’t had time to fully attend to it. I consulted many beauty therapists over the years with varying results. Some treatments even made my skin reddish and itchy due to their chemical contents! A friend recommended Rosa T to me a few months back and I was really sceptical initially as I thought it was “just another beauty product”. Well, I have never been so happy to be proven wrong in this case. After the first few times using Rosa T, I began to notice a marked difference on my skin. It wasn’t as oily nor reddish as before and it gradually cleared off my acne until it’s hardly noticeable today. Best of all, due to the all natural ingredients, my skin is now healthy and gives off a natural glow, something which eluded me for many years. Today, I am a very loyal and dedicated user of Rosa T and gladly recommend this product to all my friends. Thank you Garden of Eden for the marvellous Rosa T!

Thank you

I've just about given up as I've tried a number of Fraxels and have even tried the newer CO2 Fraxel.....haven't seen any improvement, but actually got worse around my dimple areas. I'm open to suggestions. My checks are pretty scarred.

I purchased the nutreogina micodermabrasin system and I am finding that I am breaking out more than usual. I don't know if it is removing dead skin cells and exposing pimples that would have been there later. I am 43 and have to say I am sick of breaking out. I know it is hermonal and it could be worse, but.....

Monica, Did it help your scars or your acne. What did the neutrogena microdermabrasion exactly do?

hey a good one that really worked for me was the nutreogina microdermabrasin system wich only cost around $45 and i actually recommended it to some people that i know and after a month i saw results in myself and in those people they told me thanks u changed my life^_^ i hope this help any one else

oh and fyi: if u have oily skin its better to wash with cold water because it will take off the oilyness but wont over dry like the warm or hot water wich can cause the oil gland in ur pores to overreact making u more oily
