Great result so far? Is the laser fractional co2 laser? A clinic here uses co2 so I'll likely go through with it. My scars are similar to yours in bf pic

Yes it's a CO2 Fractional laser. So far the results have been better than I expected but I want more!

Im sure round 2 will do wonders! Glad I didn't do fraxel or other lasers that are much weaker than co2. Hopefully my ice - and box scars willreduce.I see some are complaining when the swelling goes down and the scars are still deep when they should wait several months for the final result since the skin will keep changing. Which derm did you went to? If it's 600usd for the whole face then I'd def do it when I'm in fl . I've read about acv soak to rinse the skin after co2. Have you tried it? I'll do co2 next week n I can't wait! Some ladies gets blood crusts all over their faces after co2 while you don't look too bad the first days after co2 which gives me hope lol

I didn't do the whole face so my derm charged half price. The full face costs $1200. She went less aggressive on me due to my Hispanic background. I'm more suceptible to pigmentation problems. I think that's also why I didn't bleed or crust as much but I kept Vaseline on my face for the first 3 days and I would wash twice a day with cetaphil. Same thing happened as far as the swelling for me. I got really excited when I saw No scars but they did somewhat reappear. Although I must say I do see a differnce still as you can see in my last photo. There is hope. Maybe after 2 or 3 sessions that it will be the results I want! Going to update the review on Ashley soon. I go to Associates in Dermatology in Altamonte Springs FL. She is amazing and super sweet. Good luck to you! Keep me posted!

Thanks for the update, I see an improvement and I think after another treatment you're going to be really happy with your results. Did your doctor give you an idea of how many treatments will be required? 

Be sure to come back and let us know how your next session goes.

I still have some areas around the outer part of my cheeks that are still showing the brown dots but overall the viewing process seems to have finished. I really like the texture of my skin right now and the swelling is going down so some of my biggest indeed the scars are reappearing of it which I'm not thrilled about but I'm hoping not over the months to come that it will improve

Can you do another treatment? And if so how soon after? Your skin looks a lot smoother. Good Luck

I'm going to my follow up today. I'm going to ask but I know you can do multiple treatments. Just not sure how long in between. Thank you for the comment!

Holy s**t !! Girl, you have enviable skin. I have very similar acne scarring to your before picture and I think after seeing your pictures that I'm going to go through with a resurfacing laser treatment. Thank you for posting! I hope all is well

Thank you!! As the swelling goes down the texture changes. I'll be posting new pics soon but I think in order to get the best results you need multiple treatments
