Combined Pearl Laser and Fractional Treatment for Severe Cystic Acne Scarring

Audrey and Sophia, My apologies for the delay in replying. It took around 7 days for my skin to heal sufficiently so that I could return to the office. I am actually quite pleased with the results of the laser, although it did not address my facial scarring. However, it did tighten up my skin a bit so that I look less 'haggard' as one kindly colleagaue put it! I ended up getting a course of Sculptra filler injections (from the same clinic) which have had a better effect. I need to accept that I'm never going to have a face like a baby's bum and that I should be pleased with the subtle positive changes I have experienced. I will put a new photo up soon. Hope it all went well for you both :-) Good luc

I have gone through exactly the same two procedures as you did, primarily for acne scars, 3 days ago here in Australia. I'm amazed at how quickly it is all healing up today, but the first two days oozing blood from every pore was incredibly gross! I'll be interested to see how much my acne scars will be reduced over the next few months. May I ask how yours look now after 7 months? I can't say that I relish the thought of a second round of zapping.
