It has now been just over two years since I completed my treatments. I have seen a slight improvement in the scars around my temples. They arnt as deep and red but still visible. The uneven skin in the middle of my forehead has also improved slightly. Overall I am satisfied with the outcome. With regards to the PRP treatment......in my opinion this didn't make any difference to my face. Maybe it was slightly plumper or something in the week after the treatment but I don't think it has had a permanent effect. The one downside is I have noticed the pores on my fore head are much bigger or more noticeable. I have no way of telling wether this was because of the laser or some other factor in my skincare routine.
Lastly, 1year ago I did have botox in my forehead between my eyebrows. This really helped the appearance of the scars further and plumped my forehead out. After the botox I was Extremely happy with the appearance of my forehead. The botox only lasts 4-6months however, so the effects of the Botox can't be seen in my recent pictures. I will be getting Botox again at the end of June and will upload some pictures then.

Yeah I guess it worked. The scarring isn't completely gone but I'm much more confident with my skin so must have made an improvement. I'm teaching English in Korea, that's why I live there :)

cool teach me English too ;) so how many treatment have you done ? well to get rid of scars completely we have to do it many times over and over, thats what i heard, i've done 5 treatments of Non-Ablative Laser (fractional resurfacing) and waiting for improvement i'm only 3 months post from the last 5th treatment, honestly it looks a lot better than before. Anyways you look cute even with scars ;)

From your photos, I think you look like you got a great deal of improvement. Especially on the front of your forehead. Of course, I know that camera flash sometimes fills scars in. And that you probably see some residual appearance when you're in overhead lighting. But, from someone elses perspective, you look great, trust me. I have a lot of scars, some quite large. I hate the ones on my forehead the worst, especially the 3 smack dab between my brows. I've had quite a few botox injections too. They do help the appearance somewhat, I agree. Planning to have about every procedure there is. So far I've had one Fraxel (Restore) which was a waste of money. 3 excisions (meh.) 6 Skinpen microneedling sessions (it DOES work.) I've gotten some improvement from those. Maybe you could try a few sessions of that to finish the job? They're pretty inexpensive and easy to tolerate. Anyway, you look fabulous. I'm happy to see someone with positive results. Thanks for writing your review!

Yeah I'll maybe consider that in the future. Unfortunately I'm leaving South Korea in 4weeks so won't have the luxury of these treatments being so cheap when I am back in the UK :(
