Hi! I'm writing this review "in real time", so we'll see what happens. I purchased a CO2 laser treatment from Groupon for a place called Laser Aesthetics of Colorado. Normally a $3000 treatment for $259 (with additional coupon code). I'll be honest, i'm freaked the eff out. I've been contemplating this procedure for a while and have read horror stories and successful treatments. i'm not sure where i will land.
I've requested more information from the locale. I curious as to what laser they will use, the depth, and the after-treatment. i'm also worried about what happens if it gets effed up. regardless, i will review the place- as in, if i freak myself out too much about doing CO2 laser treatment, i'll get something else done, and let everyone know about it. Yes, i'll take pics- i just have to find out how to be anonymous about it.
Note, i have moderate acne scarring from cystic acne in my early 20s and accutane use about the same time. i really, REALLY wish the "dr" told me about the importance of sunscreen and not picking when on accutane. seriously. i was an idiot about it. i remember *specifically* tanning because tanning helps with acne and scarring... according to anyone born in the 60s. pfftttt. wrong. this is why trusting anyone over 30 is a bad idea (said the 33 yr old).
So, i'm looking forward to documenting the whole situation. Hopefully this helps someone, becuase i knwo that i have been scouring all the places for more info, but i also know that it is really an individual thing and my results might not be yours. so there you go. wish me confidence and luck.
