Don't worry. You are suppose to look like this. I looked bad for 7 days.. but now...WOW. My fine wrinkles are gone and so are my sun spots. I'm 38. Hang in there, this is normal. My boyfriend is amazed at the difference it made, and it only gets better every day. And I'm not posting pics, but just let me reassure you... you look much better than I did.

Hi, Please don't be discouraged. This is completely normal and if you follow the Dr.'s instructions you will heal just fine. Tell your husband you need positive feedback and support. Your face looks exactly like it should. Keep posting your healing process and photos to help others make their decision. Keep your head up.

I am going through the same process as you.! It's my third day after the treatment and my face is still red and swollen. I do feel sorry for myself and wonder if I have made a mistake. But I'm think it will get better soon. I can post you my pictures just to give u support as i am not looking good either !!!

Bless your heart! I had this procedure at a North Dallas facility. It was the worst pain, most downtime, most expensive, and disappointing thing I've ever had.

Hi, I have mine done on Monday which is two days ago. Did you experience fluid dipping down from your face on the second night? Last night I felt some liquid dipping down from my face, and today is day three, my skin is red and brown, and the swelling doesn't seem improve much at all. Thanks.

O.K. wait, why on EARTH would somebody 37 years old with no wrinkles actually do an invasive procedure when you don't need it?

And why would you let a doctor talk you into something you don't need?

I know you posted a couple of years ago, but I do hope you are doing o.k. now.

I am on day 5 now and still red and swollen. I even see a deep laugh line that I never had before. I hope it goes away when the swelling goes down.

Just waisted 2500$. For me it was not worth it at all. It's been more than a year now that I have had smart xide and honestly my skin got worst. I can't go under the sun now, unless I have 100 SPF lotion on and I still developed brown spot(which i did NOT have before). My skin is soooo sensitive now and breaks out once in while that really sucks... I wish I would have never done that [RS bleep]******* to my face.

Has it gotten any better. Im over a post smartxide and I see no improvements. It left me with scars, I cant got in he sun and I also developed brown patched on my cheeks. I wish i never let the doctor do this to me. Please let me know if you ever had any improvements or if the damage stopped after a year. Thank you
