I'm 57 years old and have not spent time in the sun so I don't have sun damaged skin. But by the time you get to be 57, it's time for just a bit of refreshing.
I went to the same cosmetic surgeon who did my liposuction to have my face resurfaced. He uses the Affirm CO2 fractional laser and makes 2 passes per session with a lower intensity on the second pass. He recommends a series of 3 sessions.
I had my first session in mid December 2009 and just had my second one done in February 2010.
If you've never had it done, my recommendation is to definitely take a couple of pain pills before the procedure and know that you should be a social recluse for about 4 days.
My doctor applied a topic numbing agent which we left on for an hour before beginning the treatment, but it still hurt in sensitive areas like around the eyes and upper lip.
But is is definitely well worth it!!! (I'm attaching pictures so you can be the judge also)
I had people who had not seen me in a long time ask what I'd done to my face. Just this weekend someone thought I'd had a face lift.
There is no doubt that my face plumped up from the new collagen production.
Hope this helps someone. I'm happy to answer questions.
Sorry...in my original review I forgot to mark it...

My rating:
He is the most kind, gentle surgeon I know. There is no rushing through any procedure and his staff are also kind and caring.

Wow, what a transformation. Some women should try this instead of mini-lifts. I can really tell a difference in your skin and it does look like a facelift. You mentioned it was uncomfortable, on a scale of 1 to 10 what would you rate the pain at? I thank you for posting. Best, Chrystal Eckes
I am soooo sorry. I'm just now seeing all these comments and did not respond until now.
Skin resurfacing was definitely worth it. In fact, I just had my 3rd treatment 2 weeks ago and my skin is amazing. (I'm 58 now). Dr. Peers does a 3 treatment with his process. I should have had my 3rd one done before now, but I got caught in the busyness of life.
In fact I agreed to shoot daily videos of what I looked like for several days afterwards. You can see them at {Edited}
KPS1: Yes, I had a dot pattern for about 4 days and then the skin started peeling away to reveal the fresh younger look underneath. I can't imagine why after 23 days you'd still see a dot pattern. Maybe you should ask your doctor.
