suffered from acne scars cause din't took good care of it when i'm still young due to lacking knowledge of it... now regret a lot..
a lot of holes and open pores
so where can i get a specialist to do peeling, laser or anything in kl area that could help?

chemical peel
rm 150 per session..done by skin specialist cum dermalogist

dr nathan ..in KL sogo near dbkl in wisma pkns
prepared total rm 5000 for CO2 laser..which need to be done several times.




if still have pimples..medication is needed b4 doin scarring laser.cannot have pimples...unless doin other type of laser.

or subang..dr ranjit..or wat name..forgotten.

i dun recommend beautician to do laser.

er.. okay laser is out of my league < still a student, can't afford 5000 bucks
i still have some breakout, but it's under control now
can i do peeling? and what really peeling does? just heard it from a fren said that it could help

I'm seeing Dr nathan and am doing the spectra laser. It's about RM400-450 a session (a month). i've done it 5 times already and can see a 70% improvement.

yes..u can do chemical peel when u have break out and pimples

but it is very very painful..they use power vitamic c acid chemical to rub on ur face..

it burns badly till ur tears will come out..and u will be in shivering pain. then after 3 days...ur face skin will be peeling .

More hurt and painfull than laser.

pimples and pores will get better slightly than before...but after that..if u continue to have break out it will be the same.

accutane is the strongest pimples medicine in this world...If u take accutane...and still cannot cure..there is no more medicine for the pimples.

it will make you depress.

Cost rm 10 per pill..one month need rm 300..and need to do liver blood test every 3 months.

It works the best..till face no oil at all.no more pimples...take for 1 year..after that..everything will be reduce to 80%..if got scar..then do peeling or laser.
and u will have dry skin..ur lips will crack and very dry...

ohh this one..this is for normal scarring. dr.nathan is good..but expensive.

where to get accutane?

is accutane similar with Nimegen with 10mg Isotretinoin? i am consuming this Nimegen at the moment, pills given by the specialist and RM3 for each pill. she says can reduce oil n breakouts... also can coz very dry lips so have to put lip care everyday. also can deformed babies so cannot take if pregnant. anyone heard of this pill b4?

for peeling, is it will make ur skin become very sensitive after that and cannot expose to sun light?

skin specialist can get accutane

but there is 2 type of accutane...one is generic and one is hybrid/clone/same ingredient but different company

the oriignal accutane is by ROCHE accutance..ROCACCUTANE

other brand is isotretonion...

works the same...but cheaper...

jz like panadol and uphamol both the same..jz different brand

bout chemical peel...the best is dun kena sunlight..coz after peel..very pain and red
cant go out also actually...malu mah

how long is the treatment for chemical peel?

u mean isotretonion = cheaper Accutane?
is that mean that i have to do liver test in every 3 months?
how long we have to stay out of sun light after chemical peel?

isotretonion is the chemical compound name

accutane is the drug name

just like panadol and uphamol both contain paracetamol chemical compound

jz different brand name.

chemical peel? u can walk under the sun..it's nothing actually..no one ask u to go sun tanning mah...

after chemical peel
day 1..face very red..like kena burn

day 2..face not red..but very rough...

day 3...face skin peeling off..

day 4 healing.....

u can wash the face..but using mild soap..baby soap..cannot have to chemical inside.

yes u need to do only liver blood test every few months just to check everything is alrite..i never did mine at all...

b4 take accutane....go for antibiotics first like docycline..or pimples antibiotics...if cannot cure...

or u r borned with oily face....and those pimples that even u never touch it will cause scaring...then u will need accutane...

where to get docycline?? watson? guardian? or specialist?

i think you might want to try bio-oil, it helps in reducing acne scars and best of all, it's affordable and u can get it from pharmacies. im going to get one soon when my skin settles.

skin doctor lar

if wanna be cheap
go to universiti hostital or GH..

accutane is cheap there if the doctor let u eat

If I remember correctly, I paid around RM5 for the accutane pills in government hospital.... It was 10 years ago, very cheap. However, I dont know current price.

wow 5bucks, thats cheap

current price in private specialist is rm 300 including consultation..

rm10 per pill

anyone knows whats the current price for accutane in GH?
must have doctor's permission only can?

any pharmacy... i bought it at alpro pharmacy inside jusco 1 utama.. 5.50MYR for 10 capsules..

thx for the info

anyone heard of the latest facial tragedy in TV... a girl get worse face texture with full acne after her facial in Kota Damansara. anyone know which saloon and which brand of product?

yeah..ive read that also. pity her..I understand her feeling. I used to be in the same condition last year, it was in Nov. I bought a full range of skin care product cost me abt 800MYR, and after 10 days of usage, my face became like her (in the newspaper). Luckily i didnt spent as much as she did, I stopped seeing the beutician as well as using their product. can you imagine, they keep on pushing me to add on another product to control the breakouts..just like what they told that unfortunate lady. It happen back in Nov 2007 (this beauty salon always came out with super low promo price and their anchor product is MURAD)....

Now, Im a happy girl eventhough my skin condition has not 100%ly improved, marks and scars left (luckily it is not the "kawah" one). Im now visiting another trustable and reliable beautician who is not pushy at the same time. Im now seeing skin therapist at LEONARD DRAKE. They offer me "skin retexturing" treatment to restore the original skin condition, at the same time diminishing the marks and scars.

yea, my cousin's face also worsen after a facial treatment in aussie, maybe ang moh's face is different with asians?

mind to let know what is the name is the product? if it is sensitive, maybe u can pm me the name, thanks a lot!

maybe alcohol in the product that causes the irritations?

Yeah...poor thing

i just did the chemical peel at Dr Ranjit at ss/15. it's kinda painful and shud avoid sunlight. but my face didn't turn red. and i went shopping and cinema after the chemical peel.haha..but maybe it hasn't started to peel yet.


the acid just put on my face for few minutes only. then apply cool mask for few minutes, and it's done.

Try this babe ...
It helps to discolor the scar after acnes

Added on October 17, 2008, 10:17 pmBesides chemical peel, got one more called IPL (from RM250).

The IPL laser treats skin imperfection, pigmentation, enlargement of skin pores, flabby skin, wrinkles, sunspots, age spots & etc. Not to mention birthmarks & unwanted hair.

Depends on the seriousity, maybe more than one treatment to cure critical skin condition.
