Worth It
Spent: $500 in Raleigh, NC

I'm very happy so far. I had the procedure 7 days ago. The Nurse used setting 6 and 8. I experienced very little pain. Also minimal redness and no swelling. No one in my life noticed that I'd had anything done.

She also gave a few flashes of IPL. The brown spots that remained of my sun spots have already sloughed off. My skin is a little rough in the areas of my face that are normally dry. My acne scarring, frown lines, and naso-labial folds have all lessened. I plan on having three more treatments before I'm done.

I highly recommend my provider. I'll post some pictures of each stage of the process.

Do you have any pictures? And how was your down time? I'm thinking of having this done for enlarged pores but I'm scared of possibly being scarred or burned? Any information would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks.

I do have some pics, I'll post them soon. I don't think that what was done to me could cause burn marks or scarring. I did not have the typical down time. I used bromelain and had almost zero swelling. I did have some dry skin, redness and itching, and a small breakout where I kept scratching my face. Effects are very similar to that of a medium-harsh sunburn for me. I highly recommend my provider and the Skinceuticals B5 serum that she recommended. I had this procedure on Friday morning and saw my entire family on Sunday and no one noticed. The settings used on my face were just above half, I will ask for a higher setting next time. I've noticed the benefits in texture, wrinkling, and acne.
