April 20th, 2010, 2:00 pmHi, I am a 32 yr old african american woman with lots of acne spots on my face. I would really love the opportunity to use you products. I wear foundation to cover the marks on my face and have been searching for a very long time for a product that would help me. My dream is to wake up in the morning and just be ready to go out without having to do full makeup, or going to the gym without being all madeup or even just hanging out on a hot day and not have to worry if my foundation looks like its melting.

April 20th, 2010, 3:20 pmI would like to ask Dr. Day if these products will work on very light skin. I have the whitest skin in the world, but I have big, raised, red keloid scars. One doctor tried to revise one of them the last time I had surgery, but the scar came back even larger. I am using silicone strips without much success. Other physicians have told me there aren't any alternatives. Can you help me?
I don't have a lot of acne scars on my face, my back is pitted with the type of scars you showed on the face of your patient on The View. Will the Syneron Ematrix work with my very white skin?
Thank you for your answers. Karen

April 20th, 2010, 5:44 pmI am a 57 y/o BF with large pores on both cheeks, discoloration from having to shave thick now greying hair twice daily from the cheek, neck and chin areas. Have been shaving for more than 20 years as creme products do not remove the hair. Would any of these products work for me? I have pecan tan coloration with red and yellow undertones in my skin due to my indian heritage. Would the radio frequency treatment work on my skin and how do I locate a dermatologist who does this? If you ever have a full show on this, I'd love to be a participant.

April 20th, 2010, 8:21 pmI am African American and am excited about Syneron Ematrix. I had acne and have the under skin scarring you talked about. My skin is very oily and sensitive which limites the products I can use. At 56 years old, I still have self esteem issues. I have always wished for smooth skin and to be able to wear makeup and look "put toghther and polished". I live in Sacramento California and would like to know if your treatment is available in this area?
