  • Posted to Just Had my Smartxide DOT Therapy for Acne Scarring on 28 Mar 2012

    Hello there, I loved my face after I received the treatment. My skin was really tight and beautiful! The only thing that I did not like was after my treatment I began to break out due to all the vaseline treatments and aquaphor. My doctor and I went to less heavily treatments like lotion and just sunscreen. I wish I would have done it sooner because by the time I went to see Dr. Key my skin was already breaking out. I should have reduced the treatments when I began noticing but was scared for the scarring. But overall no scarring done. The only scarring I have now is from the ance breakouts I had after the procedure and the acne I've developed over the past year. My skin is fairly sensitive you see so any sort of breakout, if i pick it or not, I wound up with acne scarring.

    Overall, when I ask my coworkers or freinds and even my family starting noticing that my skin looked better. It was more smooth and the pores smaller. I do have a huge acne scar from a cyst pimple that i will probably need the procedure where they take part of your skin and stitch it up. It's quite big that the DOT therapy didn't do much to it but on the other parts of my skin....like my temples...i do notice a difference. My cheeks still have acne marks as i have broken out over the past year. I talked to Dr. Key and told him I do want to undergo this procedure a second time. I am now 30 and my skin is much different from two years ago when I received this treatment. Dr. Key put me on Spiro and it is the only medication that helps me not develop those huge cysts during my cycle. Good Luck and I hope you have a postive experience as I did.

    I do realize now...that no matter what acne scarring lives with you. No matter how you try to treat it, if you are like me and just have ance prone skin then you have to just live with it. All this money I have spent over the years plus this procedure have made my skin better only to be right back where i was (well not as bad) with minimal scarring. My face will never be as it was prior when I was a teenager and had nice skin but I have realized that people love you for who you are not for what you look like :)

    Hi suki, i am asian too! i am healing fine. I had a lot of brown spots from hyperpigmentation where my doctor went deeper but he prescribed me some cream and those are now fading. I had my CO2 back in the end of May. My skin is really sensitive and I used vaseline and aquaphor and it made my skin break out. I was really seeing improvement!! but now with the breakout and my skin is practically like baby skin all fresh and new it's really scaring it yet again. I have some dark red spots that are new acne scars after my C02! If I didn't have those I would say my skin looks like new! Overall grid marks are sort of gone and some brown marks left but slowly fading, fresh new red marks from new ance scarring. :( but overall i am happy. I want to do this one more time...this time I want to make sure my skin won't break out again after c02! let me know your email. I can email you some pictures.
