Worth It

Spent: $2,100 in San Dimas, CA

I was hoping after spending 2GRAND that ALL my acne scars would be gone.. however i cant complain i guess because they were indeed DRAMATICALLY reduced and completely FLATTENED! before they were deep and VERY VISIBLE< now one must look closey to notice them.. i still see them, but they are really small.

Before, my skin looked tired, dull, with scars much deeper, and face much puffier... after one treatment my skin tone is Vibrant,bright, TIGHT, healtier looking, and the scars , even though still there, dramatically reduced and less visible.. ACNE SCAR PEOPLE: IT WONT COMPLETELY REMOVE THEM IN ONE TREATMENT SO BEWARE of what you are doing.! i am overall satisfied with it because it did make me look better.. just wish after 2000 it woulda gotten ridof all scne scars.. oh well.. it was still worth it~!

Lawrence, congratulations on your improvement! I'm planning to have Active Fx on July 22. But I'm really scare about secondary effects. Don't want to pay all that money to end up looking worst. I have very little and shallow acne scars my main concern is a kind of chickenpox scar near to my nose. Please, tell me how bad was your recovery period and how long the redness lasted?

ya just make sure u go on a cycle of 10 valtrex pills to counter a shingles breakout! U should be fine the scars will drastically be reduced or maybe eliminated np garanyee

Hi Lawrence, how are things now? Have there been further improvements. I read that the skin is going to improve for up to 6 months. Thanks Ellie

things are good, I can't complain my face looks aweosme and the scars are so little u nafta look close to see them, and my skin tone and color is the bomb! It's tighter healthier and younger, even though I am 23 my skin was hella tired looking before, overall despite not all scars being removed it's soooiooo worth it, so many old friends from my past hve noticed my face and then I told them what I did they all gave me two thumbs up
