“Deep fx recovery was nasty the first few days but skin tightening started right away”
Deep FX: Worth it
Cost: $2,500
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Deep FX satisfaction: Very good
I recommend my Deep FX provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: Prices are the lowest I found, in order to make procedures available to more people. Staff is wonderful. I felt at ease and in good hands from the minute I got there.
I won't lie. Around two hours after the procedure my face was dripping brownish ooze, it hurt and smelled bad. By the eighth hour my face was numb, even to the touch.
Day two my face swelled like a grape, my eyes nearly disappeared, I couldn't open my mouth and the smell was just awful.
Amazingly enough by day five I was pink, but back to normal, almost. The tightening started right away. Tomorrow is two weeks and I look healthy, like I've been at the beach.
My neck is already blending smoothly. Compliments are flooding in. I cannot wait to see how it looks in three months. I'm so excited.

Congratulations Lisa Kaye! It looks like an extreme procedure that you went through but you look terrific two weeks out. I am certain you will find further improvements as time goes by. Allison

It is very smooth.I have even noticed my skin is plumping up with a healthy sheen. I naturally have dry skin, (except for my chin)so I use Cetaphil Cleanser, which is very mild. I also invesyed in Viscontour Serum which locks in moisture, and Cetaphil Moisturizer spf 15 daily and at night I alternate Retin-A cream and then CU3 Comlex to promote healing. Throughout the day I am constantly reaplying moisterizer.
