Im only adding this because i have to in order to change my overall rating and pain experience. ok anyways the Pixel rocks check it out people you wont be sorry.  An added benefit of having it done for scarring is it also greatly lessens wrinkles so now i have like no wrinkles around my eyes, i am 41yrs old and having a minor little wrinkle at the corner of my eye is all i have now :-)

Hello, please keep us updated about the progress of your acne scars. We always here that acne scars are plumped with the skin because of these procedures but over time they return to their original state so please inform us what happens long term. thank you!

Yes the Pixel treatment is the laser resurfacing treatment, yes my face got very red for about 3 days before it eventually peels and shows new skin, its only really red for about one of those days and then it gets pink. I had it done here in St. Paul MN, but find a dermo that offers the pixel where you live and check into it, you wont be disappointed. Good Luck Surge.

Hello! I've been reading alot of peoples stories about pixel laser surgery. Today was my first consultation day with the cosmetic surgeon and they did some testing on some tiny freckles on my arm and under my chin and they also did one on one scar, which happened from a past doctor cutting it out and after the stitches went out it stretched. The doctor and the nurses said that its a SIMPLE procedure and I can go back to work. I was a little scared reading your stories. My first pixel laser is next Thursday and copper laser surgery to remove some raised moles. They said you can easily cover it with make up, im not sure how well that will go with the healing process. And three weeks after I have that done I am going back for IPL. At the moment the test patches they did are looking dark and my scar is looking pinkish. I just wanted to ask how many treatments were needed to fade scars? I just don't like the idea of constantly going back and then having red skin all over again. Why can't they invent a one day treatment.lol.

Hi Tiger_eye, are you having just certain spots done or your whole face? If your whole face you definately can NOT go back to work the same day, you would need at least 3 days home. If you are just having spots done im not sure as ive only had my entire face done. I would think to be safe you should take a day or two off if you can because it does leave you very red where you have the laser done. Good luck to you and keep us updated!

Had my 5th and i believe final treatment and OMG it hurt like h*ll this time,  i had to have them stop at least 5 times while doing my face from eyebrows to neck.   They did 5x1900 this time,  very high setting and it burned for hours after, not like before where within about an hour the burning stopped.  I was as red as a tomato, swollen and in pain.  Once the burning stopped after approx 3 hours its hard to even remember the pain.  I was pink up to about 4 days after the treatment.  This time i used aquaphor starting on the 3rd day and it helped a ton with the peeling.  Its now day 6 post treatment and my skin looks great, like brand new, im very happy and i go back in 4 months to possibly have a filler used on two deep scars i have.  But my shallow scars are SO much better im very pleased with my results so far, and it only gets better with time.

I just had my 4th treatment with the Pixel laser done.  It was set at 1800 which is pretty high and more painful than before, nothing i couldnt handle tho.  I was much redder after this treatment but I like that cause it means something intense was done.  Time will tell my improvements, I dont go back to my Dr for 4 months so that the new collagen can come in.  Ill continue to update....
