I had talked to the Dr about doing this and it was pricey. I went to a spa and they offered it for $400. I couldn't believe it. Same laser. No pain meds only the cream. No one discussed after skin care. Thanks for talking about it.

@mj06ir2008 Hi Mark! Thank you for your kind words! I am really excited about my results so far! I am so used to my scarring that it's hard to believe that it's pretty much gone! My procedure cost $3800 for the first treatment and I had to pay upfront. My dermatologist said that if i wasn't happy with the results I could do additional treatments at $600.00 each zeroing in on the left over scarring. I know that it is obviously expensive but I decided that you can't put a price on feeling good...

@DanielleOsti damnnnnnn 3800$?? i paid 1700 $ for mine and i got 2 im still recovering from the 2nd 1 so i cant comment on the results yet

@DanielleOsti Hey Danielle! First of all you are beautiful. I can't believe you paid $3800 dollars for your treatment though. I'm happy that you are happy with your skin but those doctors definitely ripped you off. I went through 3 procedures and scarring is completely gone and it cost me $1200.

@mj06ir2008 about yourself!

As you know I was also on accutane & my skin has been very sensitive as well since then. They didn't do a test patch on my skin but if you are worried about it damaging your specific skin type then maybe that is a good idea! That would be horrible to end up with worse skin than you started with :( The downtime was supposed to be 4-7 days and you could have redness for weeks after the procedure. Luckily i can wear makeup but being a guy it's a little more challenging!

[DanielleOsti]

@mj06ir2008 All I know is I am so thankful that this treatment exists and the recovery has been a lot of work but its a very small price to pay for the results I am already experiencing. After years of feeling bad about myself I am already feeling hopeful and good about myself! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! Thank you for your imput!

If you don't mind I'd love to ask you some questions:

How much did the whole procedure cost? Was it one upfront payment or installments?

Did you do a patch test first to see how your skin would react before the procedure? Accutane has left me with some sensitive skin so I am worried about how it will react with me (I have flushing and redness :( ) Was your skin sensitive at all?

How much down time did they suggest? Looks like you could be going outside very soon!

Hey Danielle!

I'm so glad to have found your videos! There really is a lack of information out there that isn't advertising for a cosmetic company.

Can I first just say that your skin looks amazing after the 2 days.  You must be so excited (even if its not your final results) but to see your skin in that shape would be so rewarding.

I am 22 and also went on acutane too late :(. I have the same kind of scarring as you so its really neat to watch you go through this.
