Very very good. I did this because at age 45 my eyes were looking heavy and tired all the time. Botox and fillers only last approx one year. I researched all pros and cons before procedures. I do not have to explain that the pros are excellent tightening and renewed skin. The cons could be...

For years I have allowed myself countless hours of sun exposure and smoking with no regard for future effects to my skin. I had no idea I could have such dramatic results with so little down time. The best part is that I am now 2 months post-procedure and look even better than last months photos...

Laser resurfacing: was it worth it?
Laser Resurfacing Information
- Laser resurfacing involves an intense light beam that treats damaged surface skin
- Laser resurfacing can help wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, face blemishes, stretch marks, scars, sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Fractional lasers like Fraxel laser treatment and Active FX can target specific problem areas
- All lasers fall into two categories: ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are invasive, like plastic surgery, and remove the top layer of your skin. Your skin surface will appear red and weep afterwards as it repairs itself.
- Non-ablative lasers are less invasive, using heat to stimulate cells to thicken the underlying collagen resulting in improved skin tone and elasticity. Since non-ablative lasers do not remove a layer of your skin, there is minimal swelling, redness, and recovery time.
- These lasers are often used in combination with cooling sprays, pulsing techniques, or combination laser frequencies (using both long and short waves to reach different goals).
