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
i think yes.

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

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.

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.

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.
