Ok. Really want to know the result

dr wai in puchong

if pure laser around rm1.8k

laser + subcision around rm2.5k - rm 3k

for my case doc said i really need subcision coz my acne scar quite deep (but subcision is quite painful for me)

so depends on doc advice

i felt the scars improved a lot, like 50% less obvious

i will go do the treatment again (but probably I will opt out subcision even though it is much effective)

So far your situation still got acne, or acne totally clear and left with the scars?
You mean RM 2.5-3k per treatment?

Your situation is, face still got mild acne or acne totally cleared and just left post acne scars?

*
no one can fully recover in 1 treatment, for my case i think need at least 2 or 3 treatments more

but i'm quite satisfied now as the acne scar look less obvious already

the laser cannot treat acne, the treatment is to heal your acne scar only

QUOTE(advocado @ Apr 23 2017, 07:57 PM)
is the laser something like barcode scanner, like after laser the area will look flat & wrinkled but reddish?
*
i think yes.

but all laser will have reddish one right? i can't tell

erm...so the price you listed which is 2.5k - 3k , is it per treatment or per session?

And so, when you went  for laser treatment, is it when your acne all clear already or still got mild acne?
*
2.5 - 3k is 1 session (laser + subcision), the doc will advice which treatment suitable for you.

subcision is use when one have a very serious acne scar, like me.

if no subcision, i remember the price is around rm1.8k something

personally, i would take 1 or 2 subcision the most, because even though effective, it is very painful (co2 laser pain still bearable to me)

if u still have acne, probably need to get medication from doc first until it clear

personally my acne stop 5 - 6 years ago, now my skin is oily and grow white head everyday, but not much acne.

i mean after the laser the skin will have reddish, and also feels uncomfortable & the area will have some temporary wrinkles. so if TS needs to see clients often then might not be a good solution as after the laser the scar is more obvious.

also another method is to inject steroids, plus laser.

however, we don't know TS's scar issue, if it's like whole face is like sand paper, how to laser? i think another way is to sand the face to smoothen the holes, wait for recover, then sand again.

anyway please go to proper hospital/medical center/skin clinic with certified doctors. don't simply go those skincare center.

2k for laser is carrot. it takes only 1 minute to warm up the machine & 1 second to laser. normally it's under rm100 per session including consultation.
*
the one who perform laser on me is dermatology specialist, not some beauty center staff

to operate that co2 fractional laser, one need special license for it, that's why it is so expensive (near rm2k)

i actually query around, rm2k should be fair price for laser + subcision (i'm doing for whole face, not a spot)

those rm100 is another type of laser, and not operate by doctor

dunno about u, mine's operated by Doctor cum Surgeon. it's like a Deee then a Pssffff then you can smell something burning. might be different laser but i see them use the same laser on most scars.

ur price includes subcision that is why expensive. and you went to dermatologist or skin care beauty center? i tell u, beauty center will be more expensive (in the end) coz top up here & there.

for me, it's follow up procedure for my nose job so i pay consultation + laser around rm100 per session.

oh I see.

thanks for the input biggrin.gif

another note is doctors might not know if you have scar issues like Keloid (scar grows bigger & thicker), if you have, then subcision is not suitable for you. easy way to tell if you are keloid prone is check ur old scars or injection scars like BCG etc, u can see many girls have Keloid problem when their scar is thick, big & dark. if you don't know, don't do whole face all at once, try 1 or 2 pokes 1st and see the result.

for the acne, what medication the doctor prescribed you? because i know common type is the antibiotics, however it's not a long term solution as once you stop it will reoccur. or did you solve ur acne due to the subcision & laser? How long were you on the meds? Any side effects like fatigue?

u got control ur oil & fat intake?

rarely i see cats got Acne problems.
*
my acne cured ady like 5-6 years ago. I still having oily skin and white head problem now, but not acne.

I don't have keloid scar, so ordinary laser + subcision is sufficient

I do notice if I eat more vege, my skin will be slightly less oily, but slightly, not huge improvement biggrin.gif

how many treatments per session?

Dr Wai in Puchong, is it?

Klinik Wai, Dermatology Clinic in Pusat Bandar Puchong
*
Yup. Dr Wai in Puchong.

1 session = 1 laser + 1 subcision

the treatment is depends on how severe your acne scar.

i do believe get a few more doctors opinions will be helpful.

i'm just sharing my experience since i get treated by dr Wai previously.

holy moly, that's pricey haha.

So did you enquiry other doctors as well prior of your laser treatment? I am thinking of Clinic Ko since they have lots of branches.
*
sure can consult dr ko. but i doubt they will even charge more since they are the most famous in KL

I think it's ok as long as it is doctor who operate the laser, because this require skill and knowledge to operate it

Hi, I hope you will reply to this. I actually read through your comment & went to Wai Clinic for consultation.

I’m in the midst of making my decision. May I check with you if you have continued your treatment & how is the ultimate result? Thanks in advance

Hi.
It is understandable since they did subcision for you, in which the price is counted by each acne scar (hole).
Now I am making decision on which skin specialist I should visit. I have made an appointment with Dr. Chong Clinic, but your treatment result by Dr. Wai seems convincing.
May I know that for the CO2 fractional laser they did on you, is the "Ultra Pulse" most people refer to? and I am keen to know that how effective was their treatment on you. Thanks.
*
if i not mistaken (not laser expert here), ultra pulse is the new type of co2 laser, stronger and more effective (but i heard more painful also).

i think the one i did is traditional co2 laser.
