Being able to "finally" eliminate my old acne...

Being able to "finally" eliminate my old acne scarring with the full face fractional laser was totally awesome. I had dermabrasion years ago with minimal results. I was still left with scarring. After receiving the fractional laser it was like a miracle! The scarring that I had was evened, brown spots were eliminated, especially a sun damage large spot that was on my chin. I was amazed at the results. Down time was approximate one week. On return to work as a nurse I had some redness, like a light sunburn..No worries. I was even able to use a bronzer applied with a brush! I never was able to use a power make up or bronzer due to the pock marked scarring. I now, am very proud to say that I can apply make up with a brush!!! My surgeon saved my appearance...I now, can speak with my patients without feeling that my scarring was getting in the way. Dr Johnny Mao is an extremely dedicated and talented professional. If you have suffered from acne scarring or just want to address the aging brown spots from years of sun damage, fractional laser Treatments are the way to go.....I am so fortunate that I was able to do this for myself.....

I never heard of anyone having all their scars go away in one shot with laser. What kind of laser did he use? any before or after photos?
