Over the past couple of years I have had 3 smoothbeam treatments and 2 Quadralase treatments to my cheek area. I have not been particularly impressed with the results. I am hoping that the most recent Quadralase treatment will show results in a few months. I am going to try to attach a couple of pictures so that you guys can know what I am dealing with. It is a horrible feeling to hate the way you look, yet you can't stop looking at your face. It is almost like I am trying to convince myself that I don't look as bad as I think I do. LOL
I am considering subcision or dermal fillers as my next step. Or, possibly, a 3rd Quadralase treatment.

Hey there, just checking in to see how you are doing with your treatments. Did you have subcision or derma fillers?

No I have not had anymore work done as of yet. My wife thinks I'm crazy for thinking my face is messed up. It is difficult to make someone who does not have bad skin understand. I have yet to decide what I want to do next or if I should just accept what I have and enjoy the good life that I have. :)

I understand exactly what you mean. I also have really bad scars from cystic acne and my husband has perfect skin, no flaws and he does absolutely nothing special to it - I even eat better than him, drives me insane! I have accepted my skin, and I don't allow it to determine my day anymore, I actually did seek therapy to help deal with it, and I must say - it helped alot. Do what you feel is best for you. Keep us posted on what you decide :)
I'm so sorry to hear how much this is bothering you. :( Do you feel pretty confident in the dermatologist you have been seeing for your treatments? If you don't feel like you are seeing good results from the recommended treatments perhaps you could go for a consult with a different one?
I'm glad to hear you will be going to a derm. I didn't realize that it was hard to find one who does subcision. You might have already noticed this, but if you click on the "Find a Doctor" tab near the top of the page you will be able to sort by your area, then either by specialty or treatment type. Perhaps that could help you locate, and its nice because you will be able to see all their reviews and answers they have provided in the Q&A section, so you can get a feel for what they are like and if its someone you would like to go to for treatment or not.
Keep us posted if you opt for the subcision or not!
