WORTH IT$1,899
A bit about me: Adult-acne case (Started at 23. I'm 29 now). Retarded enough to load up on multiple topical gels/creams (Proactiv, Clean&Clear, etc.) -> nothing worked so I got frustrated and started picking my skin -> acne scars all over the place + more acne -> more topical products that didn't work -> the start of a vicious cycle...
Here's something that finally works for me!: My treatment package included 4 ResurFX laser treatments and 4 SilkPeel sessions (1500 for the ResurFX and 399 for the SilkPeel). I was first given the SilkPeel dermainfusion which was essentially removing dead skin cells and impurities from the outermost layer of your skin while simultaneously "infusing" topical vitamins to treat your problem areas (Mine included acne-control for the chin/jawline and hydration for the rest). Afterwards I was presented with a small jar in which all my dead skin cells and impurities were collected, very satisfying feeling I must say. My skin was ultra smooth and glowy!
Next I was put on numbing cream before receiving the Resurfacing treatment. The pain was tolerable. My face looked very red for a few hours but the redness was completely gone the next day. I didn't see much improvement after the first treatment, but the change was very noticeable after the 2nd one. By the end of the 4th treatment, my acne had significantly subsided and a lot of scars were filled. Still have some deep pitted scars so I'm planning to come back for more treatments.
This whole acne thing has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. Finally after 6 years, I don't need to wear a full face of makeup but just tinted moisturizer and some concealer are now enough. I'm very happy and looking forward to getting rid of my acne and (hopefully) scars once and for all :)
[Something extra to share: I've started making/drinking green smoothies about once a week. I feel great and my skin texture is a lot better too. So I would strongly suggest incorporating this to your diet as you're going through the treatments.]

Is 1500 for 4 ResurFX treatments or for one treatment? 399 for one SilkPeel?
Thanks for sharing, I'm so glad to hear you found something that works. We'd love to see some pics if you have them.
