Attempt at Fixing Under Eye Mess – Colts Neck, NJ

Sorry for never doing the update!!!!

WORTH IT$800
So, after a month, my eyes did look significantly better!! Over all I was pleased with the procedure because it DID help the darkness under my eyes tremendously! The dots, are still there, but were diminished greatly. I am scheduled, next week, to have the procedure done again. I'm hoping for even more of an improvement after this round. Even though it does hurt like hell for a few days, it was worth the money. My only regret is that I didn't have it done years ago! I would definitely recommend having it done if you have dark circles or other under eye issues.

Thank you so much for coming back to update! Nice to hear that not only did you see improvement in the dots, but also with dark under eyes, so many people struggle with that and are looking for solutions. Good luck on your next treatment, keep us posted.

Your before pics look identical to my eyes. I have the little white dots too. What laser did the dr use?

What an amazing result you had!! Do you know if the laser was traditional co2 or was it a fractional co2?? Again, you look great!!

4 days post procedure

By day 4, they started looking better. Swelling reduced greatly!
I've been cleansing the areas using a mixture of distilled water, a teaspoon of white vinegar, a little sea salt and few drops of lavender oil. I soak gauze pads in the mixture and apply them to the treated area. At first it burned/stung, but I got used to it and I think it helped the healing process.
After cleansing the area, I apply A&D ointment and a little Bach Flowers Rescue Cream. I do this 4x/day.

I hope you're doing well. Did you get the desired result? Would you do it again?
January 30, 2015
I'm sorry I never replied to you!!!! Yes, I would do it again and I AM doing it again in a week!

I should have added, at the time, the "concoction" I was using for cleansing, was NOT recommended for me to do by my Dr! It was something I had read online and opted to do myself. His recommendation was for me to just use the Aquaphor.

Pictures from 2 days after procedure. I had to sleep sitting up. If I lay flat down they swelled shut practically.

Just be patient and drink lots of water and keep the area clean and moist. I had this procedure done on my whole face for melasma and it was painful, but worth the results. I was about 10 days before I looked normal and could wear make up. You essentially look like a burn victim, but it does get better. I slept on several pillows for a week.
