I'm almost certain this is the treatment I underwent approx. 25 years ago (at age 24). It took multiple laser sessions on several areas (groin) but within 12 - 18 months, I went into a total remission and I stayed in remission for 24 years. I am now 48 and I think the onset of menopause has triggered my HS. I've had small symptoms (no aliens yet!) and I'm taking the zinc and tumeric. So far it's working.
Before finding the doctor that did the laser treatments, I had been to several doctors to no avail. I am convinced this CO2 laser treatment is what put me in remission. At the time I began it, my HS was out of control, constant flare ups, very painful etc - probably stage 2 heading for stage 3. The most uncomfortable part of the procedure was the injection of local anesthesia into or near an angry alien. Once past that, no problem. The lasered area would take a couple of weeks to heal.
I would definately recommend these laser treatments. It worked for me.
