Is this really Deep FX?
I requested a Total FX treatment consisting of Deep FX and Active FX. I wanted an overall Deep FX treatment, but the doctor insisted on using Deep FX only on my "trouble areas", so I gave in to his direction. He then did an overall treatment of Active FX. Later, after the procedure when I got home, I saw the clearly defined large burnt dots on my throat which don't look like any Deep FX treatment I have ever seen.
Is it possible that the doctor used the regular CO2 laser to burn the large dots on my throat instead of Deep FX? Will these burns take a while to heal, and will there be any scarring? Could I get an expert's opinion on this? Thanks in advance for your help!

If you look at those closely you will see that they are actually little squares. The size, shape and color are all consistent with the Deep FX handpiece. Keep them moist and follow-up with your provider as prescribe and although they will likely be red for a few weeks, they should do fine in the long run.
