    SmartXide is effective for acne
    scars. The first time I had modest
    improvement, the
    second, much better.
    I had miserable acne
    scarred skin. It takes 4 months after
    the SmartXide to see
    results, be patient.

    When your doctor tells you that you can apply some makeup, try one with a green
    tint; it will reduce the red-looking skin to a more neutral skin color. Don't get discouraged
    when the swelling/redness is gone. It does take about 4 months for the smoothness to
    show. I've had two mild treatments (wimp that I am) to reduce acne scars. It did work
    for me. I'm 73 and my skin isn't so elastic anymore. I'm really pleased. My husband
    would really freak out if I looked like a peeling tomato. Good luck.

    My doctor had me clean with a weak vinegar solution and apply Aquafor (or similar) to
    protect the healing skin and keep it from drying out too quickly. I had antibiotics and
    an anti-viral. I didn't have blisters, just some dots and swelling. I started to go out in a
    week with lots of special sunscreen on--a Renova product was recommended. I have
    heard of others with blisters that hat the treatment at a higher setting than I did.

    I had more swelling around the eye area than elsewhere and it lasted the longest, about
    a week. I didn't have festoons but some dots did ooze a little for the first day after the
    treatment. All was fine in a couple of weeks, maybe the slightest bit of swelling. The
    real change in appearance was about 4 months afterwards, then, WOW, clearer skin.

    I totally agree with you on the 6 months, but things
    are better, noticably so. I'm glad you reminder us all
    of staying out of the sun. Use and reapply sunscreen
    frequently--I do and have seen the benefit as I have a
    horse farm and need to be outdoors much of the day.
    My trainer has lupus and also applies a lot of
    sunscreen so we encourage each other.
