“Definitely Not Worth It - Ireland”
Spent: $700 in Ireland
Posted 11 Jun 2011
im 22 and have very slight lines under my eyes and some excess skin on my upper lids. (hereditary)
I got Active fx for the eye area and after months saw no improvement, not even to the fine lines under my eyes.
The doctor told me because i am so young my results should be better than that of an older person. 6 months later NO DIFFERENCE. I went back to the doctor and he offered to do the treatment again on a higher laser setting so i did. Again it has been 3 months and i see no improvement, I am very disappointed, especially as i went to one of the supposedly "best" doctors around to have this procedure done and it didn't make the slightest bit of difference to my eyes. My left eye actually looks a little worse.
Dont know if that was due to active fx or what. My advice is to not waste your money and get a blepharoplasty.
PS. it wasn't that painful the first time i got it done but the second time (on the higher setting) was almost unbearable) I didn't scream or anything but my hands were shaking and i had a high tolerance of pain.

Helpful review?
See prior comments for ACTIVE FX from members in the USA.......I don't believe ANY member has paid less than the minimum of $1500.
It was definitely active FX :)
Hi Diana,
Oh, no fun that this did not work for you, especially since it might have made your eye worse. Maybe go back and talk to the doctor. Hopefully you can find someone to help. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review, and I hope you have a great weekend.
