Hey guys, sorry for not posting in awhile.

It took about a month (if not longer) for the redness to fade from my face.

6 months post, I can see no obvious difference in my scarring :/

Onto the next treatment...

Hi, have you tried PRP (platelet rich plasma)? A lot of people have great results with it. You can do PRP + microneedling, or PRP injections/mesotherapy. Btw, your acne scars do not look bad in your photos. :-)

Still red (but much better)

Hey guys! I'm 24 days post now -- my skin is still red (specifically on the cheeks) with track marks from the laser, but the texture is mostly normal and I can cover it with concealer and powder foundation.

I'm not sure about the results yet and think it's really too soon to say. Just ready for my skin to not be red anymore.

The healing process so far has lined up with what Dr. Lin told me I might expect.

Please, write how your scars developed after 1 months, 3 months, 6 months. Very important, thank you.

I'd love to see a photo of how it's going. Also, do you have one of before?

Oh - never mind about the before picture. I see a picture of your skin from your other post about rhinoplasty. You're courageous but looking good now!

Healing progress - level 3 is NOT for the faint of heart

I got the procedure done on Wednesday. It's now Sunday night and I am still VERY red, with noticeable scars.

I'm not concerned because I was warned by Dr. Lin that healing would take quite a bit longer with the level 3 Matrix treatment. Hopefully I'll be getting what I paid for.... (the level 2 was only $370 in comparison to the $1200 I paid for level 3).

These photos were taken Friday and Saturday night, respectively. Today was the first day I woke up with my skin looking a little better instead of worse.
