WORTH IT$5,800
For years, I had beautiful skin. I managed to avoid the skin ravages of puberty and hormones that affect so many people in their teenage years. Then in my early thirties, I began suffering from acne outbreaks. I had many, many visits to dermatologists and tried so many different creams and regimens. All to no avail! My acne outbreaks persisted and then progressed to deep and dreadful acne scars! I was too afraid to try Accutane because of everything I’d read about this medicine. But I think I tried every other thing on the market! Finally, in my early 40’s the active outbreaks began to subside. I was left with terrible acne scars which were so embarrassing that I dared not go outside without extensive makeup which resulted in only partial cover up of my appearance. I began looking into ways that I could improve my appearance. There was so much conflicting information on the internet. After one doctor promised that he could help me, I had several treatments with a fractional laser which ended up doing absolutely nothing! Then I found Dr. Kass. I could not believe how patiently he explained his philosophy on the treatment of deep acne scars and he explained that no one single treatment is best. Instead, he used a combination of procedures to achieve the best possible results. I elected to proceed with Hetter Facial Resurfacing, punch excisions where necessary, as well as subcision of select scars with Silikon 1000 injections. It has now been three months since my last injection and I cannot explain what a difference these treatments have made in my life and in my self esteem. Although I still see my acne scars, I know that they are about 80% improved compared to what they were before treatment. I am so indebted to Dr. Kass that these words of gratitude fail to do justice to what he has done for me. I would recommend that anyone who is embarrassed by acne scars see Dr. Kass for treatment. He is worth every penny that I paid him!

Unfortunately, I do not think acne scars is something he should be trying to help with.. I had subcision, silikon 1000 injections, tca cross and micro needling all done in once session. After about 3 months, I had a scar on my left check that was never there before surgery and a ridiculous amount of hyperpigmentation that I then had to correct with several chemical peels. I am happy things are working out for you but a year and a half later and I never had any improvement and im still trying to correct what happened after all of that. I personally would not recommend this dr to a person struggling with acne scars.
