Your right cheek is almost perfect! I'm so happy for you. Hopefully when the dark spot fade away, we can see the other cheek better

yes i had the 6th treatment may 13, i was just so busy and i don't have photos right now in my computer to upload but there is no difference since my 5th treatment.so any way the clinic that i went for the laser just bought new laser they call it Fraxel 1550 and they had demo for this new laser and my Doctor asked if i can try it for free,so i tried it 2 days ago and it was so painful that i cannot make it through 8 passes because my numbing cream was not strong enough for this kind of laser but its worth to try,on my next appointment i have to decide which laser i will choose Palomar or Fraxel. well, lets see the result i made 8 passes in my forehead,jaw and upper lips and only 4 passes in my cheeks just cant bare the pain i was just glad that my doc was there with me among with all Dermatologist that is on demo for this new laser.

Wow that's a lot of passes! My doctor only does 3 passes for me because she's afraid of hypigmentation. I guess the more passes the more effective the laser is though!

I went for my 5th laser appointment three days ago but my Dermatologist suggest scar subcision for the deep scar. I had 2 deep scar both in my cheeks so i decided to go ahead and get these thing done since i still have few laser session left. That day i got minor surgery, a scar subcision instead of laser its hard to explain but i have stitches. I will have my 5th laser first week of April. so,this is my update

Did it hurt? How long did it take him to do the subcision? Did you have to pay extra?

most Dermatologist do scar revision, my dermatologist doesn't have any problem doing it. yesterday was my 5th laser appointment that was 2 weeks after the subcision he was not satisfied the scar subcision in my left cheek so we decided to try again with no charge. so, what happen in my appointment yesterday he do the laser first and subcision and i came home with red cheeks and one stitch. i will post picture in another time when my face are not red anymore

Nice. I just had my second treatment done last Saturday. This time she did 4 passes, one more pass compared to my first time. I guess I need to get at least 4 treatments first before asking for subcision. Thank you for updating though. I can't wait to see how you are doing.
