I had one aggressive Active FX/Deep FX laser treatment in July 2013. The results were amazing! I had some acne scars on my cheeks from my teenage years that were never really a problem but became more noticeable in my 30s. I have had mild chemical peels and routine facials but needed a more aggressive treatment. It's an expensive treatment and the downtime is about 7-10 days. The results are not immediate as the treatment promotes collagen production. Over the next 2 years my skin improved and my doctor took lots of before/after pics to document my progress. Once I had some downtime I booked another treatment. The 2nd treatment was not as aggressive but still required the same amount of downtime (7 days). I am almost 3 months post procedure and almost all my scars have faded dramatically, pore size reduced, and better overall texture and appearance. So far I am very pleased knowing that it will improve over time. Since I'm in my mid 30s and have aging skin I will prob need another treatment down the road and a few IPL treatments a year for upkeep. In addition, it's very important to invest in a good skincare regime and wear your SPF EVERYDAY!

if you paid 2000 for 2 treatments was just one treatment I'd assume 1000?
