This laser does work on acne scars but you cannot see results after just one or two treatments. I thought it would help people to read my experience after eleven Palomar Lux 1540 treatments in one year. Everyone's skin is different and what works for me might not be right for you. Read from...

I suffered from bad acne on my cheeks throughout my teenage years and again through 2 pregnancies. I always thought that my acne... Read more

I made the mistake of using an RN. The settings were too powerful. I developed horrible scarring, reactive eruptions, open sores, with actual ash burn stuff coming up out of the scars. Also I believe I figured out what the blue thread-like-stuff, that seem to be in-bedded within the epithelial... Read more
Bad results from Palomar Lux spent $800 in USA Updated 9 months ago
I had one Palomar 1540 restore treatment a little over two years ago and it ruined the texture of my skin and broke nearly every blood vessel on my face.

I'd like to say first of all that sites like these are a real help when you are trying to decide on a procedure that may or may not benefit you in the long run.

Just got my first Lux 1540 laser treatment last Saturday at my doctor's office. The procedure was painful despite the use of numbing cream and sedative but at least it was done pretty fast, 25 min (one pass) for the entire face and after that I was given an ice pack and 30 min of Omnilux Light...
