I have phote rejuv laser therapy on my face. I love it. It's expensive though. I get it done at my Doctor's office. I am 38 years old and suffered my entire life with acne. I love the laser therapy offered now by spas & doctors. It has helped my cystic acne. I still break out, but if I follow my routine and go for laser therapy, the break outs are under control. The laser also helps with broken blood vessels, sun damage, pores, etc. There are many differnt types of laser therapy suited for your skin problem if you can afford it. I would spend the money on my skin because it's been a life long struggle. I am saving up for some more aggressive procedures I would like to get done for my old acne scars.

" Laser treatment? It DOES sound expensive, but how much does it cost? Does it require you to continuously go to keep acne free or will there be a time when you don't need to go? "

" Cool. I'm thinking of getting lazer treatment done too, not just for acne, but also to do something about my gross pink acne scars. I'm also thinking about getting a microdermabrasion.

How much did the laser therapy cost? "

" At my dermatologist's office it costs around $300 for two laser treatments. I had the procedure mainly to get rid of really old acne pigmentation and scars and it definitely worked...not so much for killing the acne itself, though. "
