20-25% improvement

Smother texture of the skin, hp gone, lighter, more shallow scars, overall happy but the progress after a year was probably 20-25%, so I feel I’d need at least 3 more of these laser procedures to see a satisfactory improvement. I am currently undergoing subcision and genius rf with dr Steven Weiner in Destin, Fl as recommended by dr Davin Lim of Brisbane, Australia.

Deep FX & Active FX were performed

There is absolutely no pain now, there was a lot during the procedure, I was shaking out of control. Then I had burning for 2 days & bad itching for next 2.
There are still some fleaks pilling off, but the new Avene's cream I started using yesterday made my fuming red patches less visible (pinkish color now) just overnight.
I finished full dose of my meds.
I am taking tomorrow off as well as I do not feel I should put makeup on the not fully healed face. Doctor cleared me for my Avene's 50 SPF - Eau Thermale High protection tinted compact. That's going on my face of Friday.
Mom said scars look better but I know I'm still swollen and pictures would do no justice at this moment. Will wait few weeks for the first ones.
I also asked dr Waibel today some details about the lasers I had. She told me I had Deep FX on acne scars at 400 - 500 microns & Active FX at 100 microns.
I love my doctor's personality! Every time I talk to her I feel she's got it!

I'm glad I took extra days off having a full week off because there would be no way of going to work today. Most of the skin pulled off, but I still have some dry patches of attached.

I think I should also add that last night was a breakthrough: I could sleep throughout the night without the crazy itching. Woke up only once because my skin felt dry so just applied Eu Thermale Avene Cicalfate post procedure emulsion, I almost finished the 40mg tube, so getting a new one today, this time: Restorative Skin Cream also by Avene, that is supposed to help heal those red sensitive skin patches.
I also have only 2 more doses of my prescription medications: Doxycycline Hyalite 100mg Capsules & Valacyclovir HCL 500mg tablets.
The skin sometimes feels hot so I apply the cold pack. It's soaking up the emulsion like crazy. My skin is still swollen to the point that my indented scars are invisible. I know it's not the final outcome but hoping for the best.
I also never used the vinegar water even though I had it ready along with the gauze: the doctor & nurse said it's not necessary.
