I had Active FX (only) done in October last year. My skin looked good except I had eye crepe under my eyes. Now I have huge pores on my nose and inside area of cheek close to the nose. It almost looks like scarring. What is it and will it go away?
I had the total fx done at the end of January, and it seems to me that my pores and some acne pitting are worse! This treatment is suppose to make them smaller or"softened" as they put it, and they are more noticeble now. It's like the skin was thicker before, which made it less pronounced and since the treatment, a wine glass effect occurred, meaning the underlying area of the pore or hole was deeper down below, and by the skin being ablated, the pore or hole is definitely bigger, seeing as how it doesn't go deep enough (you would be severly bloody) to even it out completely, the top part was taken off, which left the underlying pit/hole bigger. i know it sounds like mumbo jumbo, but thats how mine ended up. Areas that didn't bother me before, sure do now and areas that bothered me before, appear to be worse. By the way, it has been almost 2 months. The doctor said usually by the third month, is when most of the difference will take place.
After a lactic acid peel series I ended up with enlarged pore of my nose and central cheeks. Has this happened to anyone else?
I did the peels to even out pigmentation. But it ruined the texture of my skin which was beautiful and even before!!!!!
