For many years I suffered severe acne resulting in prominent facial scars and depressions. After a comprehensive internet search I located Westside Dermatology at Taringa in Brisbane AU who specialise in treating these scars. A number of subcision and CO2 laser treatments were used with great success. There has been a noticeable reduction in scar visibility (50%-80%). For each technique there was only minor discomfort as patient care is of importance.

Nice improvement -- congrats! What are your best pre/post-op tips to help others prepare for this procedure?

Hi Eva. Thank you!
There isn't really any patient preparation for subcision and CO2 laser treatments (taken care of by the clinic) although it certainly helps if the guys shave on the day.
Post treatment for CO2 is to minimise time in the sun for a few days and apply moisturising cream to the treated area.

Thanks for your reply! Ah yes, shaving beforehand would be important -- great tip!

Wonderful results! You must be very happy!

Thanks Christine, yes indeed. I had the toughest scarring to fix and while some scarring still remains, it is much improved. Great confidence booster!

Very happy for your success! Would you post another photos in future, maybe a before and after in the same light?
December 14, 2016
Thank you! Yes certainly although the photos don't do full justice to the improvements I have seen. I have however added another photo from the end of my treatments.

Is there anyone specializing in this treatment in AZ in the USA?

Wow. Truly amazing.

Your pictures speak volumes! There is no one anywhere else whose results for acne scarring reatment come anywhere near to Davin Lims's. I have been researching for a year and have not seen results as good as yours. His individualized approach means that he can (and does) successfully treat all of the differing types of scars that years of acne can produce. No wonder you are delighted!

Thanks for the comment Christine, very happy with the results!

February 7, 2017
No, not an advert mate. There are other independent reviews that confirm the excellent performance of the clinic and its treating Doctor.

no way. Lim is one of the best out there, if you read about him throughout realself. make sure to read when he answers questions in the Q&A section, too. ther is no way he could *not* be the real deal.
