Hi Mark - Rick and I are obviously both on the same track. I have only had one pulse dyed laser treatment done. The extract I posted below recommends more than one may be necessary. As Rick says it definately does not stunt your growth - it just targets the blood vessels. It took me a good two weeks for the bruising to go from my face and probably about 4 to 6 months before the full effects of the treatment were seen. As far as I am aware it is the only one of the two documented treatments for Keratosis Pilairs Atrophicans Faciei. Look at the web page posted by both Rick and myself - it has the best information on the use of laser treatment for your condition. Lastly be encouraged in that this treatment will improve your skin - it may take a few treatments but from the medical article reports it appears that everyone in the trial showed some improvement.
