I finally made up my mind and went to get treatment for the pitted acne scars that really stressed me out every time I looked in the mirror.
The scars from picking at them with my hands in my early 20s seem to stand out more as I get older, so even when I cake on foundation...
When exposed to sunlight, the bumps were clearly visible.
I looked into several hospitals, read the reviews very thoroughly, and chose Maypure Gangnam Branch to sign up for.
To be honest, I had heard so much about how painful scar treatment is and how long the recovery period is that I went in trembling on the first day.
I had PicoFraxel and subcision done together, but the tingling and burning pain was unavoidable.
Even though I applied plenty of numbing cream, tears welled up slightly... When I looked in the mirror after the procedure, my face had turned bright red.
It scabbed over for about a week, had a little oozing, then fell off, and it gradually got better.
There is still a slight redness remaining like residual freckles, but it was so fascinating to see the texture of the scar on my cheek—the deepest part that had been shadowed all year round—fill in smoothly.
I am completely satisfied because the bumpy chin marks that used to catch on my fingertips when washing my face have definitely smoothed out.
I've only finished my first PicoFraxel session, so it will still be a long way to go before my skin becomes perfectly smooth, but I am very satisfied.
For those of you who, like me, felt discouraged because pockmarks or deep indentations couldn't be covered even with cosmetics, I really hope you make up your mind and try PicoFraxel when you have some spare time.
