ive just had my pro fractional laser treatment done(500 microns) today!! Before the procedure the doctor did a mini laser peel at 50 microns. She said the density was at 11 and no coag. I have high pain tolerance so it wasn't unbearable! My face is so red and bloody right now! I'll keep you guys updated with my recovery etc!!!

Day 1 after profrac

Okay so...I literally look like I walked out of a horror film!! Thank god my doctor only went deep on my cheeks and not the rest of my face. I had such a hard time trying to hide my face when going back to the clinic to get the red light therapy done. By the way the red light therapy is suppose to help with the redness and healing! Anyways..I've been pretty good with keeping my face moisturized with aquaphor! It's gotten in my hair which is pretty gross! The nurse said today that I'm looking pretty good...which is funny since I look horrible lol! Can't wait to start peeling and see what king of skin I have under my bloody face!

Any update?

I had a really busy week! I peeled after day three! I still have the grid marks. I noticed about a 30 per cent improvement altogether. Doctor said to wait a month or two to see full results. So we shall see. If anything it helped with my acne marks totally lightened those up.

Hey! So honestly I didn't notice a huge improvement in scars. Only in raised ones. My face is still super red. Also I have a ton of pin point holes where the doctor went super aggressive. I dont think I would get it done again

Thanks for the update! I went to my doctor and he said it takes a series of treatments like 5-10 . Seems like a lot. I was worried about pinholes from other reviews but u just had it done so you still have time to heal. I'm deciding on Fraxel restore or co2. Just reviews online make me second guess everything :/

It's just annoying cause I called the office and they said it takes up to 3 to 6 months for new skin to grow in and for the holes to fade. Wish I knew that before. And I had a really aggressive treatment done so I don't get why i would need a series when usually less aggressive treatments need series to show results.

Yes it's so frustrating these acne scars already and when something doesn't workout it sucks! I'm having a tca cross test treatment on 4-5 of my scars next week. I'm going to see how cross goes and then maybe do a laser. I'll keep you posted on that.

Yes please do! I've done microneedling before and thought that really helped with a couple scars and discolouration! But I would only see Dr emer for that

Hey there! Just checking in any new results?

Hey the scars seem to improve more and more everyday! Just recently however I had a big breakout which caused two new scars so I'm getting microneedling done for those!

Hey so today I woke up and washed my face a bit with water. Tonight I'll try cleaning my face with cetaphil. I haven't noticed any difference in my face yet..no peeling etc. I just hope I start to peel soon!

What spa did you have this done at and how are the results now??
November 22, 2016
I had this done at afterglow in north Vancouver by dr ebrahim. My results were good. It cleared up all the pigmentation issues however there are a few deeper scars than are still very noticeable
Thank you for your post! Do you have any pics you can share? It'll be great to see how your results progress!
What prompted you to go with the ProFactional Laser versus some of others on the market?
