MiXto Laser Q&A

I've read mixed reviews about mixto co2 laser. Is this the best treatment for my acne scars or could i get better results with other treatments?

I've looked at alot of reviews for the Mixto Laser and the Fractional Co2 Laser both having good results. Just asking for some advice on which is better for wrinkles on the cheek(worse when smiling)? Thanks and God Bless

I've been looking into the lunchtime buff and shine with the Mixto and was told downtime is around 3-5 days and the settings were: 5, 20%, 5. However, during my research, I keep seeing Dr. Sandra Lee's lunchtime buff and shine touted as something with zero downtime and she speaks about using the laser at 5%. I have been unable to find the settings she used or really anyone with such experience. Is this new way really no downtime? What are the settings?

I Have Been Tanning in the Tanning Bed Can I Still Have MiXto CO2 Laser Treatment Done??

I am getting the Mixto microfractional h20 resurfacing laser next month.... and the doctor has instructed me to begin prepping with retin-a and hydroquinone ( a bleaching agent) for 2-3 weeks before the treatment so that he would be able to perform the procedure more aggressively, hence better results. Is this right??.. I was always under thee impression that retin-a would thin the skin and is unadvisable before laser treatments or chemical peels. What should I do??.. should I start the creams?

I had the Mixto laser done on December 22, and I experienced nearly intolerable itching 2 days post-op, and it won't stop! Is this common or could it be a reaction to the Aquaphor or something else? I haven't read much about itching from others.

I've read a lot of good reviews on MiXto Laser. Is there really less pain and downtime with MiXto than other laser treatments? How much pain and downtime can I expect with this procedure?

I just had Mixto Micro Fractional Laser treatment yesterday. I'm using Aquaphor, but it's very greasy. I'm wondering, how long should I use it, and what other similar products would you recommend post treatment that are not greasy? Someone wrote about Regen de Peau; can I try this now, or should I wait until the peeling has begun or stopped?

Just had Mixto two days ago and would like to hear from someone who has done this as to what to expect day by day. I have just found this site and after reading some of these posts am more than a little bit afraid that results will not be good. Right now I am a bit puffy and still red with some oozing. I think this is normal. What should I expect day by day with Mixto?
