So far I am very happy with my results! What I initially wanted was to at least be able to cover my scars with makeup and them not being visible and I believe I have achieved that. I will post pictures but when I wear makeup my skin appears clear and smooth, when I don't wear makeup my skin seems freckly with really small acne marks which I am okay with. It looks much much better than it did before with huge crater like pock marks. I am happy to have gotten the surgery!

Hi La Nique here, again. I have followed your results and I love the fact you did not expect a miracle, meaning a baby butts smoothness, but you are realistic and having an 80% improvement is fantastic. I am very happy for your great results.....you must be JUMPING FOR JOY.....as you should.

Thank you very much! Yeah my skin is still in great shape and I did get what I wanted which was enough improvement to where make up would cover my scars! Highly recommend the surgery I am still so glad I went through with it! I may follow up with the doctor eventually as he wanted to do another round of laser but as of now I am very happy!

Great results. So happy for you.
A question , did you notice improvement over the passing months? Or was what you saw after the procedure it?

Yes I would say it takes about a month for everything to settle down. The passing months after maybe up to 3 months after my skin seemed like it was getting 'tighter' or like kind of flatter and not as puffy but actually it was just swelling going down slowly. Kind of like going from having puffy baby face to my more adult slim face. I think that the results are there all along but are masked by my swelled up face even though it was minor. So in a way yes improvement is more apparent as months go by. Hope I helped!

Hi! I just emailed Dr. Rahimi to schedule an appointment. How long was your down time? I go back to school in 2.5 weeks.

Hope your appointment went well! Down time was about 7 days to be completely peeled, but full reduction of swelling took like 2-3 weeks. You can still see a sort of light demarcation between the lasered skin and neck for like 1 month.

Hello guys! So it's been like 9-10 days. My face looks so much better! I think my face is still healing because I'm the picture you can see this weird line by my jaw where my old skin and my new pink skin is. I would say 80% of my scars are gone, with the exception of a scar near my eyebrow that was really deep from a childhood accident. I think my face is still maybe a little swollen because my undereye area is really puffy? But yeah, check out my results! And the doctor says it's supposed to get better over time. I need to schedule a check up with the doctor as well.

I've read that many individual's scars come back after the first couple months because the swelling makes the scarring look better. How's your skin looking now?

Hello everyone! So I am now in day 6 of having my surgery done and my skin is pretty much healed, besides some redness that the doctor has me putting hydrocortisone on to reduce. I face is still abbot swollen but i would say my scars are pretty reduced. I will upload some pictures so you can see how my recovery was. It wasn't too bad, my face shed of all scabbing within 3 days, which was interesting because I thought it was going to be more like 7.
