Question 7.
Hi I have been taking isotretinoin pills for three months and my acne is cleared up already. My doctor suggested me to take the pills for at least 5 months. So my question is am I able to have treatment now on acne scarring or I should better wait after i stop my medicine? Also, just wondering what treatments you would suggest for scar healing after taking the pills as i read from your site that fractional CO2 Laser Treatments may not be suitable. Thanks.

Question 8.
Hi, I am doing some enquiring about how to get rid of my scars. I have a few scars from having surgery but one big scar from half way from my stomach to top of my pelvis. and also  a raised bit on side of my belly button which I think is a little hernia. I just want to know if plastic or cosmetic surgery can get rid of these. I am very self conscious in summer when i would like to wear bikinis with no top. But I hate the look of my stomach. I just want it smooth out. How much would it cost as well?

Question 9.
I have been looking on your website and would like some advise on skin treatments. I am 25 years old and have problems with acne. I have mild acne scars, active pimples and also blackheads and want to do something to fix these problems. Most of the time, even makeup doesn't cover the problems and it is very embarrassing. I live about 700km north of Melbourne so ideally I am looking for a treatment that can be done in 1 appointment so I do not have to travel a great distance often. Can you please suggest what the best treatment may be for me.

Question 10.
Hi. I would like to inquire about Acne-scarring... I have never had a full acne breakout, however now that Im in my late 20's I've experienced consistent, one off breakouts for the past 8 years. This has left scarring. I would like to know what is the best form of treatment with minimal down time but most effective. I know a consultation is always best, but I also wanted to get an idea of sessions and price before I decide. Many thanks, Alondra

Question 15.
Can you treat stretchmarks? I am getting EXTREMELY mixed information. I visited a plastic surgeon who claims the answer is unequivically NO. Websites claim fractionated CO2 and Fraxel have some success. I am 34 years old and have many on my thighs that bother me. I dont care about the white marks but the skin is indented and wrinkled. I am looking for something that will help the look of these. Afew of them are raised. I am petite only 48kg and have the marks from regular exersise. I am told just prone and very unlucky. Will a few fraxel treatments help to fill out the indentations and overall look of the skin? Have you had any happy clients?
