I've been fighting with acne scars since a medication I took in my early twenties caused my face to erupt in deep cysts as well as the rest of the fun disgustingness that goes with having a pizza face. The acne is mostly gone except for the occasion monthly zit but I have some rolling scars and icepick scars. I've had a lot of success using retin-a and assorted chemical peels, including a TCA peel most recently, but while it definitely looks better and is no longer humiliating (in club lighting it is no longer noticeable and in most regular lighting isn't bad at all) I really just want it gone. Having acne scars in your 30s is embarrassing! A local place is offering fractional skin resurfacing for the entire face at a very decent price per session up until the end of the year. It's still kind of hefty for my current financial circumstances (Mr. boyfriend and I are wanting to get a nicer place and are looking into possibly buying a house) but if it'll work I'll do it and just pull some double shifts to cover it. I was just wondering if anyone else has had it done, or any kind of laser for acne scars, and what you thought if it? Like, what was your recovery time, how bad did it look, and was it worth it? I had great results with the TCA peel and planned to repeat it but I was basically housebound for six days and couldn't work for seven due to how scary I looked.
