Getting DeepFX for Deep Acne Scars (30F)

I feel like I tried everything under the sun to try and resolve my long-standing acne scars. I’ve done the e matrix laser, aggressive pixel lasering, and I’ve done a bunch of clear and brilliant.

Since meeting Dr Maas, I realize that Deep and Active is the way to go. During the procedure he marks individual scars he wants to focus on and uses the laser to pull down the shoulders of bathtub scars so they become less visible. I love that he’s so scientific and also offers a lot of attention to detail. We’ll see how it goes!

Day two and my face looks crazier than it did yesterday. Absolutely horrifying! It doesn’t hurt but I feel so uncomfortable, and sleeping was a challenge. Looking forward to seeing this pass in a week or so…

It’s now day 5/6 and I can finally sleep a little more comfortably, my skin feels less tight and most of the scabs have come off. Just wanted to share this process since I couldn’t find any information online on what to expect in the days following an aggressive DeepFX/ActiveFX treatment for acne scars. My face has looked absolutely TERRIFYING but honestly it hasn’t hurt - just felt extremely uncomfortable. I’m looking forward to seeing how my face looks next weekend (I’ll be going out of the house again - with a big hat and lots of sunscreen lol).
