Post 1 year review..

Due to an overwhelming amount of personal messages Im providing a much overdue update! Sorry everyone for the delay. So its been about 1 year since i finished up 5 treatments.. I have the option of seeking another round of treatments anytime in the future but am on pause for now. I am very happy with my results and would certainly reccomend Dr. Avram to anyone seeking help for this. I would NOT reccomend someone who isnt highly experienced and qualified.. Seriously, do you research and dont get burned and further scarred by an inexperienced doctor., (please see my prior posts about my original BAD experience with laser treatment!) but overall i have two main big scars, along with a bunch of much smaller lighter scars.. Post 5 treatments my minor scars are very faded and blend more into the surrounding skin. I am very happy with the results and hope further treatment in the future may help diminish the larger ones... But in all reality for the future i hope for the courage to wear sleeveless clothing in all social situations and bear to live with my scars in unanxious harmony! Peace to all!

In another two weeks i will go for my third of five laser treatments. As of right now I see a slight improvement in my scars 3 weeks post my second treatment. I'm hopeful that after five treatments It will be better overall. My skin seemed to heal faster the second time around. I make sure to use a lot of lotion, neosporin, and 50+ SPF when in the sun.
