I've always been open about my battle with acne and the scars it left behind.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time (and money) searching for treatments that actually work—and after countless attempts, I think I finally landed on one that made a real difference.
I used to avoid ablative lasers because of everything I'd read—pain, healing time, the risk of pigmentation. But after exhausting just about every other option, I figured it was worth trying at least once.
I booked the session with Dr. Bernard. He patiently walked me through how it works, what it would feel like, and what kind of results I could expect. The team was super welcoming and brought me into a warm, cozy room where numbing cream was applied before the treatment began.
During the session, I honestly didn't feel much—just a light tingling thanks to the numbing cream. But once it wore off, that's when things got intense. My skin felt like it had a severe sunburn, and yes, there was some bleeding involved. The pain level? Pretty high, I won't lie.
As the healing process kicked in, the treated areas began to scab. At one point, I looked like I had been in a bad accident. I was told to avoid direct sun exposure for 4 to 5 days so my skin could properly recover.
To speed up healing, Dr. Bernard recommended using Calecim Stem Cell serum and Rejuran sheet masks. And after about five days, once the scabs had all come off, I was blown away by the results—my skin looked clearer, brighter, and had a fresh glow.
Painful? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Out of everything I've tried over the years, this laser treatment gave me the most noticeable improvement in my acne scars.
Would you be willing to try this too?
