Does anyone here use laser treatment to help with your acne. I did a search on it the other day and there are actually many treatments for both active acne and remove scars. I was thinking on some form of laser treatment for my active acne, but im afraid of side effects and the like. Thank you.
Reply:Yea your opinions sound like stuff i have heard from other people before. It seems as though all the possible negative side effects and the high cost make it not worth trying. I think im just going to try to wait it out and use my regular medicine. Thanks!
Ps i was on dynacin also and it was awsome it did a lot but i became immune to it 
Reply:I've had laser treatment and I have to say, what a waste of money!!! I spent about 6 grand hoping to get a clear complexion AND that is not what I got! I still break out and my face is FAR from clear! What helped my acne was the antibiotic, Dynacin, and also Differin gel. I was SOO desperate for clear skin I was willing to risk it and yes I regret it now… *sigh* so much money GONE and for nothing!
I urge people to try other methods before resorting to laser treatment. Think TWICE, don't rush into anything no matter how desperate the situation.
Reply:When I was 18 I had the new acne treatment, "x-ray" and I have radiation damage and became hypothyroid. They simply did not know the outcome of x-ray treatments that strong. I have recieved almost maxium rads x-ray on my face and must limit dental x-rays.
The new laser treatment has not been around long enough to see the long term results. I sure hope it does not do damage like the x-ray treatments did. Damage is not realized for many years later, was in my case.
Remember, if laser treatments are not done correct a person can end up with white streaks on their face.
My dermatologist, a professor at a medical school, told me to choose a doctor who "owned" his own laser machine and did not rent one. Some dermatologist these days will rent a laser machine and then do several patients. In other words his expertise is not that great, does a fast production for the money. It was explained to me the dermatologist that owns his own machine is not doing a quickie for pocket money, but is more dedicated/experienced to the art of using the laser when needed.
I still have not had the laser treatment for Rosacea, still a coward knowing what new treatments can do and have to suffer long term side effects. I am not sure I want to risk white streaks which can never be corrected. I am a senior citizen and wish to let younger people know what can happen. I have paid a heavy price for having a new treatment (x-ray) that was suppose to be the magic bullet at the time for acne.
