I had an under eye CO2 Fraxel treatment 10/31/18 and did not see any result. It's now 4 months later. Is that possible?

Asked By:chivers9 in Rocky Mount, NC

I keep seeing before and after photos from other PS Centers where only 1 treatment and the results are outstanding. And I continue to read that most patients need only 1 treatment. I was pretty swollen for about 4 days, and the pinkness/redness was gone after about a week. My skin peeled on day 2 and peeled for about 2-3 days total. I SWEAR I see more fine lines now than before I had the treatment. And the skin seems to be pulling in toward my inner eye making more lines?
