Erbium Ablative Laser Review- London, UK

WORTH IT$2,000
It's now 2 months on from my 2nd erbium laser treatment. There has been an improvement, you can still clearly see my scars but they are now mild and on the right cheek do not bother me anymore . Improvement is meant to continue for 6 months so there may be further improvement. There is deeper scarring on my left cheek and if I had the money I would consider further treatment just on that side .

The photos are of the right cheek . It's hard to show the scars in a photo now but in unflattering lighting they are still there but as I said they are what is class as mild so I am happy with the results . There is a red mark ( quite large ) on my left cheek so will wait until it's faded before updating my photos of that side . It's due to a cystic spot - nothing to do with the laser !

It's erbium laser , not quite as strong as co2 but the first treatment I had was fully ablative .

Day 15

Now completely healed . Left cheek has a few red patches which I'm sure will fade . Skin does look better but going my previous experiences I'll wait until the 6-8 week mark before getting too excited . Will update then with more photos .

Where did you do your resurfacing? I'm also based in England, currently hesitating about doing it as I've read some good/negative reviews, want to choose a responsible clinic/GP to deliver the treatment. Thanks, looking forward to hear your updates

Day 7 erbium round 2

kate84July 22, 2015
This treatment was erbium fractional ablative not fully ablative so I've healed faster . Photos are to show the healing process . Improvement can't be judged until 6-8 weeks
