As you can see by this close-up I have two noticeable scars post-subcision. These scars were a direct result of the procedure. I do NOT recommend.

Absolutely do NOT recommend! This was my second unsuccessful procedure with Dr. Wu; at Cosmetic Laser and Dermatology. I had two subcision procedures on my right cheek ($400 per session). The last procedure was a little over 3 mos ago and I have scars post procedure.The whole reason I went to Dr. Wu was to eliminate my acne scars; and instead, ended up with new scars. It has been absolutely devastating/heartbreaking. NOT WORTH IT!
