Has anyone had this procudure done? After years of antibiotics, every topical on the market and even 3 rounRAB of Accutane- I broke down and spent big bucks to have this done. I went for my first treatment yesterday, didnt expect it to hurt quite so badly- but today, I simply look like I have a mild sunburn..my skin is itchy and red from the burn- but Im not in pain...
Im supposed to go back for round 2 in two weeks and if necessary, they will schedule a third round two weeks later.
I just wondered if it helped anyone. I really felt that this was the last resort- I have adult cystic acne and something has to help!

Well, no one responded to this, but I hope someone is reading it. I wrote, in my first post about how I had this new procedure done. Yesterday, was the second treatmnent. Girls, Guys- Have to tell you- this is working!
Although the treatments arent cheap, with all Ive spent in doctors appointments, creams, lotions and potions, not to mention prescriptions- doing this once every two weeks has reduced my scarring, reduced almost all sun damage- stuff I didnt even know what there until I saw it gone- and my cysts are now significantly reduced. The doctor isnt even 100% sure that Ill need a third treatment, I go back to let her see me in 10 days. Then we decide.
Overall, this has been a great thing for me!
Hope the information helps someone else.
