Q: After pixel laser: more wrinkles around my mouth?

A:

Like any device, it can be used in many different ways, namely different power settings, number of passes and technique of "stacking." In our experience, we have never seen a worsening of lines or contour irregularities. Patients can go through a time period, usually around two weeks post treatment, where the lines can appear temporarily worse. This is when most of the swelling has resolved and the collagen/elastin changes have only begun to take place. With regard to the faint white lines, it could be evidence of hypopigmentation from a very deep treatment. If that is the case, it can persist. The up side is that a deeper treatment can result in better surface results.
