Often you get what you pay for. Most States have a medical board w/ links to licensed techs that use laser/resurfacing instruments. Call school for name of the 'teaching-techs' then research for complaints on file. Go look @ students faces. They're required to work on ea. other. Don't use anyone but licensed techs. Also ck. for online court for county for complaints or suits. Avoid chains & ck. business lic. w/ State. Ask for a practice run on your forearm & watch for result? Oct. is close to holidays. Places rush students to care for the holiday request.
Posted to No Scar Answer to my Skin Cancer on 23 Aug 2010
I to have post-op grief & seen Dr's over time to correct flaws. We both know 'just accept it' when you look in mirror may take yrs. My prob. is still unresolved. If it's dented in maybe see Derm. for filler? Level, white/well healed? A gd. licensed Cosmetic tattoo artist can match. I went to a Theatre make-up artist & was sold a heavy stage foundation on my white scar but I have a lump no one will touch. Some co2 lasers may help but didn't on me. Time/$ is always an added problem along w/ anxiety. Atleast our cancer is gone. I completely understand.

Definitely a DOWN! This procedure uses light to cut hole columns in hopes to fill in w/ new skin & tighten/smooth/correct problems. A little may smooth & too deep cuts in permanent holes & then they fill w/ oil. End result a yr. later, wish I never did it. I used a board surgeon & was told I was a perfect candidate. Leave if you here that. Expectation was a 'try for improvement'. Not look pitted. Post date in msg. Have to scan for new posts.

I had 4 treatments total $2k. 1 yr. later, have holes that fill w/ oil & still face/slt-wrinkles look same & worse in other places. This uses light to cut hole columns then goal is to hope space fills w/ skin to tighten. My skin had 'no pits' but now need makeup. This procedure stimulates oil glands to. Always deal'g w/ greasy look'g forhead. I'm not sure how you find an expert. I went to a surgeon's ofc. 1 yr later I have track-marks & hm peels seem to be help'g. Anyone post'g should add date. Can't tell who's on 1st! 8/2010

Hope you had better luck than me. 1 yr later, my smooth skin has pitted spots that fill w/ oil & I'm considering microdermabrsion. DOT can do mild resurface. Dot is a beam of multiple lights that 'cut in' to skin w/ columns. They are suppose to then close hole/tighten. Too deep or too wide setting makes oily & pitted skin. Very little may help smooth skin but this can't go deep to really tighten & last. Over 40 will be waste. It can smooth surface lightly to get refreshed look. Home exfoliate if you're young! I had smooth skin w/ need for wrinkles. Now I have oily wrinkles & oily micro holes.
