I will update pics following this process, the bandages stay in place for 5-6 days. I had approximately 50 ice pick scars treated using punch elevation. Previously I received treatment using the Infini laser at a different office, no results for scarring at all. The procedure was painless after receiving Lidocaine shots all over my face, this part was very uncomfortable. Now I am just waiting for the results and being very careful to follow the post op instructions. I will post pics with a timeline from start to finish. I hope this experience will help others make decisions on treatment since it was very difficult for me to find much detail on punch procedures, especially those not involving excision.

I can tell that some of the pits are not as deep as before, however there is still redness and a circle is left where the punch was. It can take several months to see full results from what I've read. I can see why it takes a mix of treatments because now I need something to smooth and help with redness on top of maybe a few punch excisions or grafts.
As far as the physicians office...I am VERY unhappy with them, I can't even get anyone to call me back to ask questions or schedule a follow up appointment. How am I supposed to know if my result is typical or what to expect when I can't get a returned phone call. I just called a few minutes ago and I was told he doesn't have an opening for a follow up until January! That's not a follow up...procedure was done September 15th. I was happy the day of the procedure with the staff but this is just ridiculous.
