    how about peelings? TCA, Glycolic peeling and the new Olay Serum + Total Effects???......

    I've tried microdermabrasion It feels great after a series of completed program (like for example 6 sessions) and still after a month or two the previous state of your facial scars and pores returns.

    Fraxel is it really a miracle or a hoax?

    Whats the fact about cetaphil and baking soda?

    You have to use it more then 6 sessions. After a good 20 or so you see phenomenal results.

    As far as $$$ goes, date an esthetician and then the cost isn't very much at all. Only about $20 a session.

    chemical peels and laser r the most effectiv emethods but expesive

  12. #12
    lol @ SVT Muscle... I think microdermabrasion adds to scarring IMO only.. EJusicer have you gone through a series of microdermabrasion? If so, what are the interval days? (e.g 2 weeks after or a week after?)

    Twice every week to week and a half. I had scarring on my forehead and above my left eye from plastic surgery from a car accident 6 years ago. It wasn't that bad before but pretty much nobody believes me anymore when I tell them what happened now. I personally think that it's a very effective form of treatment. I'd like to get it done on my back for some mild acne scarring.

    Hi Mizfit... what kind of chemical peels are directed to large pores and acne scars i've been going through a 2week intervals of glycolic peel and so far there are no major improvements...

    What chemical peeling ingredient u suggest is the most potent?

    And on laser peeling... what kind of laser peeling treatment u suggest that reaches an optimum to confront acne scars and large pores?

    I have the same problem. I spoke with my dermatologist who said stay away from the strong peels. It sometimes bleaches your face and leaves a line where the acid ended.

  17. #17
    Like what kind of strong peels? I consider microdermabrasion as a form of a very strong peel and chemical wise is glycopeeling? TCA peel? can also be categorized as a strong peel???...

    Im currently useing a combination of minomycin tabs and Cetaphil plus clindamycin lotion 1%. You start taking the tabs about 6 weeks before you get on the course. This works well for me and many other's that i know,

    Im using minocyclin right now myself (low dose) and use spectra gel to wash my face.

    It has made a difference. Unfortunately ican not use topical acne medicines as my skin get's irriated and makes things worse.

    Stress lately has cause me to get a few blemishes

    Netrogena makes a non chemical peel you can do at home and also has a home versionof the derma brasion.

    Well you can't pick your face thats for sure

    I wash my face daily with spectra gel, not soap.

    I use a netrogena dermabrasion system at home 2 times a week and also just recently purchased an at home chemical peel.

    I moisturize with a non clog poring moisturizer - during the day and night as well.

    I don't really have seere acne scars though

    I recently had laser treatment on my face. Just for non-serious scars from old acne. I only had one treatment, your supposed to have a few in a row. It hurt like hell and i didnt notice much of a difference - maybe a little difference for the better ($300). I think the laser is best for broken blood vessels in your face if you've got that. I might do it again soon - can't decide if it really helped.

    Salicylic acid is supposed to be good for large poors - just regular stuff from neutrogena or whatever.

  35. #35
    Been using salicylic acid from neutrogena's pore refining cleanser dubbed AHA and BHA (Salicylic and Glycolic acid) haven't seen any improvements i even combine it with salicyclic acid toner...
