Hi Kat,

I'm an AA Woman too and I have some "deep rooted" scars from plucking...can Tri-Luma "really" fade them?

Years ago you recommended the Melanex/Retin-A combo and I got my doctor to prescribe it and worked okay, except the Retin-A made my skin peel, so I discontinued using it, but I've been using Melanex for years with so-so results.

I'm desperate to try anything that "really works". I've been lurking on the boards and saw your testimony in the other forum, so now that I'm seeing again, I really may have to try Tri-Luma for myself.

I made an appointment with an AA dermatologist for this week and I'm definately going to ask for it. I also have a microdermabrasion appt for Saturday..can you use Tri-Luma and still get facials and microdermabrasion?

I wasn't sure if spa treatments would intefere with it's effectiveness.

I've had these dark spots from plucking since high school and haven't work an v-neck shirt since because it's so bad. If you say Tri-Luma works, then I'm all for it.

I'll post my before and after results if anyone's interested.
