My scar is still visible and the unknown caused of allergic reaction that i have developed after the treatment has improved slightly-not itching as much and red lumpy pimples have calm down a bit. I came across some individual peer review that this could be a side effect of laser, where the high heat could have triggered the outbreak. I am currently using avene produtcs ( as it is for sensitive skin and does ease the itching off) and hoping that it is the right product for my current skin condition.

Hi I'm looking into getting this done from your pictures they took in the office there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in the after but I can see you posted it as worth it so can you see a good reduction of your scars in person do you think many thanks x

How is your face now? Are the track marks still visible? Did it help with your acne? Thanks for sharing

The redness has subsided and it is not obvious unless you are standing within one arm's length from me that you could see a define line across my cheeks where i had the laser done. I have developed some sort of allergic reaction so my face is covered with tiny pimples; i thought it was the laser that caused my skin to be more sensitive and had triggered the outbreak. However i did not have the laser carried out on my forehead and it is also covered with spots. I guess it is due to hormone or allergic reaction. As it was fairly itchy, i am currently taking antihistamine, cetirizine twice daily. I cannot tell if my pores are less visible but i can see my complexion has become clearer ( area not covered with pimply spots). It is also fairly sensitive to the water temperature so i try not to use hot water ( uk is not the warmest country on eaeth) but cold water to clean my face.

Hi thanks for the updates and photos! It's looking nice but I cannot tell about scars. Have you noticed any changes in scar depth or softening or anything? Or is there still swelling?

Hi i can see that my complexion is softer. About the scarring i still do not see much difference, i am not too worry for now as it can take up to 6 months to fully benefit from the treatment. Are you thinking about getting it done?
