Candela Quadralase C02 - Troy, OH

Hi there... Still doing good, thank you. I haven't taken the time to take new pics yet but maybe I should do that and compare to see if there has been anymore changes. Other than that I don't think there is anything new to mention. But thank you for keeping in touch!

Thank you! :) I'm so happy to hear you've received good results from this procedure too!

Wow thank you so much! :) I do have make up on in that picture and also that was taken before I had any of the procedures done. That's why I had my hair covering my cheeks lol...but still, thank you for your compliment. Although, the redness has faded out a lot after my 3 sessions. It used to be very red to where I would not go in public without make up....and now it's a faint pink color so I'm not as insecure about leaving without make up!! I never thought I'd be able to do that again. I'm not gonna have another treatment for another year or so just so I can see how much more it will improve in the upcoming months. I'm excited to see what the turn out will be! :)

If your scars are shallow like you say then you have an even better chance of this procedure working for you! Just keep doing your research and make sure you really educate yourself on it and that should help you decide whether or not you want to go through with it. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hi Eileen! Wow that is definitely a lot more than what I paid for sure! Make sure you check around to get the best doctor and also the best price... Esp since you will more than likely need more than 1 treatment to get the results you're looking for. Yes there is another laser for the redness...I believe it's called the VBeam laser..at least that's what it's called at the place I go to. And actually the VBeam is 200 per session as opposed to Quadralase which is 600. But my doctor said for redness you need about 5 sessions of VBeam.
The "acne" that I had did subside on its own....it was there for about 6 months....and honestly I don't think that's what it was anyway. To make a long story super short....I lived in an apartment for 8 months until realizing there was toxic mold in the floors and had this horrible breakout of boils and a bunch of horrible crap on my face. When we moved out, it went away. So I can't really give you a routine of what I did to make it go away since I believe it was an issue caused by the mold that went away when I moved out of that place. But I've always used Neutrogena 24/hr Acne Clearing System and I rarely break out when I use it so if you haven't tried it maybe you could give it a shot!
As far as I know the Quadralase does not improve acne...But there is the Blue Light laser that supposedly does treat it. I read about it a few times online....definitely look it up! I know that in my area there is a spa that does Blue Light for about 50-100 dollars a treatment. And I think that you can still get the Quadralase done when there is active acne but they try to encourage you not to because they say it would be pointless to treat your scars if you have the possibility of still getting more scars from current breakouts.
I will post new pics very soon.....If you have any more questions I'm here so don't be shy! Good luck!!! :)
