Sorry for such a late reply, ok so i now know that all the itchiness was due to all the cream i was putting on my face, i was using way too much cream as you can see in my photos my face was covered in the stuff!

8 days after laser all the crust had came off, i did pick at it abit but overall i was very happy with the results!
I would say about 4 weeks after laser my face started to look abit rubbish again, the oily skin came back, and i felt abit dispointed, i was still spot free tho which was great!
i decided to get my second laser treatment on the 6th May, this time round it hurt alot more, it really burnt during the procedure, this time round it took 5 days till the crust came off, it wasnt itchy at all, it didnt look as scary as the first time round, after about 5 days i broke out in spots everywhere, its been just over 2 weeks now since the second treatment and my skin is still breaking out in spots, this time round i havent noticed any change in my scars if anything it looks worse now cos for some strange reason its bought back my acne after being spot free for years! im abit angry, gonna leave my skin now for a few months till i decide to try again or not!

I have also tried CO2 laser, but the reaction of my skin is different. it went well, just follow the instructions after having the co2 laser, just apply the doctor recommended creams, you should know which creams are allowed and not,

Thanks for the interesting post. Did you complete all the 5 treatments after you did the second one or was that the last one you did. I just got the second one done. This time it was more intense although im concerned still if it is effective or not for ice pick scars which I have. What were your results after a couple of weeks of completing the second treatment?

That price is very cheap considering they typically run between $500-$1200 per treatment in my area, near Philadelphia. I never had weeping or the white coating your got. It does not look like they even did your entire face like under your nose area and above your upper lip. I am not expert but it looks like they did a crazy strong peel just a topical verses a laser. How are you doing now ? Any improvement in your scarring skin?
