2nd Ultherapy Treatment - Bay Area, CA

Wish there was a way to edit my response - can't find it if there is. So, I meant to say that none of the stuff folks mentioned in here had cleared up MY own acne.

Many things have been mentioned here. For acne, the best thing for most folks with moderate to severe acne seems to be minocycline. None of the things folks mentioned in here cleared up own acne. Retin A can be used to improve overall texture of skin, but you have to be cautious with it and mess around with it, until you find the strength, prep, and frequency of use that will work for you. Differin can help, and so can Tazorac, and so can other stuff, but with my sensitive skin, Tazorac was usually harmful to my skin. Differin worked as a secondary help. But, minocycline worked across the board - and I had terrible acne because of hormonal flareups. It was the only thing that worked and from talking with many of my high school students over the years, I have found that to be the case with them too. In an extreme case, you could go with Accutane for a limited period, but unless NOTHING else works, I'd stay far away from that stuff because of all the nasty side effects. Btw, many of these topicals work in different ways with the skin, so it is important to know what your prob is. For example, do you have thicker skin? Differin can be more effective in that particular case.

Would you be able to tell us what search words to type in ebay for these kits? Do you just mean the boil and bite type of trays? Somehow, I don't think so, because nothing for that needs to be sent to any lab. Could you please give just a few more details? Thanks!

No problem. If you discover something awesome, I hope you will come back to share your experience :) . It isn't easy to decide what to do, if anything at all, sometimes. I wish you the best with whatever you decide to do :) .

I agree Karin. And, as you can see, still no doctor has answered yes, no, I don't know. It would be nice to hear from some professional, instead of the utter silence.
