Did treatment for acne rosacea at a spa. Never again. After 4th treatment in 4th month, scarring began. I have huge white bumps clustered together under the skin on both right and left sides of chin. Has an orange peel texture now and as of this morning, deep ice pick scars have formed in that area as well. Also, some pitting is showing up plus a couple of areas that look like laser tracks where the skin is slightly shriveled, as if it was burnt. They did low level treatments and used arnica on me afterward yet I still scarred. I had 3 IPL treatments about 8-10 years ago and it was wonderful; I never had a problem, but that was done by an RN and I think there is a huge difference. Go to a doctor if you consider having this done, stay away from spas.
