Co2 Laser Resurfacing/ Total FX ..for Acne Scars

I’ve written a review of skin boosters on realself and all my background information is on there so I won’t repeat all of it . Basically I’ve had acne scars since I was a teenager and tried peels and numerous fraxel laser treatments which didn’t help . On the advice of a dermatologist I had fully ablative erbium laser resurfacing in 2014. After a long healing process I ended up with a noticeable improvement. I still wasn’t happy with my skin so started having restylane skin boosters which I definitely recommend. However, in certain lighting my scars still made me very self conscious . I had vowed never to have another laser resurfacing but I met Dr Firas while having an unrelated treatment and found out he was an expert in treating acne scars . The co2 laser was something I hadn’t tried so I decided to book it up . It was carried out on the 4th of June and called total fx consisting of deep fx and active fx .
The deep fx part wasn’t painful but the active fx was only just tolerable. I was offered anaesthetic injections but I had these during the erbium treatment and they were excruciating so I opted to deal with the pain . I do hope Dr Firas was able to go as deep as was necessary. I didn’t think to ask as I was so glad it was over !. My face looks nowhere near as bad as it did after the erbium so I’m hoping this isn’t a bad sign . I will post an update at 6 weeks as improvement can’t be judged before then and can take up to 6 months.
I’ve taken before photos ( and will take after photos ) in different lighting so you can see what I mean about how the light and angle affect how bad the scars look. If you are new to looking for acne scar treatments please be wary of photos showing a dramatic improvement that clearly aren’t taken in the same lighting.
