Katherine:
Thank you so much for the reply:-). Re your friends laser treatment,
can you tell me what type of laser treatment she had (which laser was
used)? I ask because I would love to have my scars disappear but I had
heard from quite a few that the laser didn't really help their acne
scars. Did your friend have bad acne scarring or was it hers just
superficial/minor? If the laser treatment would work, how I would love
to save my pennies to have it done!!!!! More than anything, I hate
having all of these scars on my face, I just feel ugly and unattractive
-- I hate it. Yes, I know we are supposed to be more than our
face/body/etc., but having acne scarring all over ones face really does
have a profound effect emotionally/psychologically -- at least for me it
does (I do feel shallow even admitting this but it is the truth -- yes I
know there are people starving in the world, etc., but I still hate the
scars on my face).
