Two and a half months later. So my skin feels better but I have some serious scarring and the waffle marks have not gone away especially on my left cheek. I decided to go back to Ultra Medic and I am happy to say that the "doctor" was very much humbled I think. He had taken a lot of flack over the past few months and seems to be much calmer. He has offered me a series of micro dermabrasion sessions to get rid of the remaining damage.
I don't know that I would ever have such an aggressive treatment again no matter how good of a deal! I think the concept is great but the Mixto machine has to be turned down. More treatments, a slower process but I am sure...way less down time and less damage.

Had the mixto procedure done at ultra medics in July, was told it would not hurt. It was the worst pain I ever felt, and I've been in labor 3 times!! It felt like my face was on fire a few minutes after the procedure, and lasted about 4 hours after. I asked the doctor why it's hurting so much and he told me after the procedure that he ran out of numbing cream. You would think he would of told me BEFORE the procedure, that he was out of the cream. Anyways all the way home I was crying but trying not to move cause it hurt so much. I had to go buy Auquaphor( its like vaseline), and try to cover the whole face to keep it moist. During the mixto procedure the skin was really tight like a sun burn and I asked the doctor if my skin would stay nice and tight like that, and he assured me it would, aswell as get rid of my large pores and a dark spot I had on face.
It took about 5 days for my face to peel. After day 5 my face did look more refreshed. But by the 10th day it looked just like it did before the procedure.
Now about 7 months later I am noticing fine lines around my mouth and under my eyes, and there is no change in my pore size and the dark mark on my face seems more noticeable now.
This may be a good procedure, if a certified doctor did it, but don't go where I went, I heard after he's not a real doctor. Save your money...

Wherever you are, I do hope you're having healthy skin to live with! I will never be talked into that again.

Today is day eight. Still can't go out without a LOT of makeup over the red bits. My chest is especially messy and finally started using aloe vera rather that ointments as I need these sores to dry up and go away. I feel a lot better but LOOK a lot worse because now I have real scabs on my face and chest. Have not seen any difference in tightening but the skin on my cheeks looks a lot fresher. Still not sure if this procedure was worth it......

Day Five.
Pictures aren't great but the red marks are the blisters. Is this normal. Chest is just starting to peel. Not so painful now that it's cracked.
Just need to know if this is normal and will it go away. Right now the blisters are weeping a bit. Would hate to have scarring.

Thanks for the update and pictures K2E. As for the blistering some community members have mentioned they had a bit of blistering, but if it gets to bad you might want to go check with your doctor. Please continue to update.
Thanks,

I had the Mixto procedure around my eyes and mouth 7 days ago. I'm miserable with itching. I've been reading people's posts that they're back to work in a week, etc. I'm bright red and raw. The doc said today I was doing very well. I'd hate to see what poorly looks like. Night time is worse with the itching. Benedryl helps, but only so much. Does anyone have any advice to get me through?
