Had my second procedure exactly two weeks ago. It was a TCA Peel + Mixto + Subcision, and it was free. Check it out.

June 28, 2012

Pretty much exactly two months since I had the treatment. I added two more photos that I took last night, when my scars are at their worst after a long day:

As you can see, left side still pretty much the same (I'm still wondering why the left side resolved so damn well) whereas there is still room for improvement on the right, but it's definitely getting a bit better. I also have a bit of active acne still ongoing, but it appears to be on its way out, as far as I can tell.

There are some days where they look worse. For instance, on the left side of my face, a slight crater may show up at the end of the day, and on the right it'll look a bit messier, but overall this is generally how they look at their worst.

I scheduled my touch-up for July 28. After consulting with Dr. Rahimi some more, I have confirmed that it is, indeed, basically another regular Mixto treatment (in fact, he said he would be going more aggressively on my right side than last time), except he'll be attacking only the scars and not the entire face. He also said any subsequent treatments, if I would want any, would be $500 each. However, considering that I'll be starting grad school, I don't think I'll have time for more treatments until at LEAST winter vacation, so yeah.

I have been to quite a few dermatologists for my acne scars, and Dr. Rahimi has been the only doctor I've met who's board-certified for both Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. Furthermore, he actually has a pretty measured approach to procedures and prefers patient happiness over profit. For example, when I first met with him, I was undergoing Lux 1540 at another office, and he suggested that I should probably go back to Lux 1540 and give it another chance before trying his procedure. He was more worried about my convenience than his own making of money.
