“Just finished pixel treatment”
Pixel laser: Undecided
Pain: Severe
I am 25 years old and I have acne scars on my face. They are not to deep but enough for me to feel self conscious about. I also love the sun and already have sun damage. Knowing that as I get older my skin will only get worse, if I don't do something about it now, made me decided to give pixel a try. I just got home from my first treatment and my face is on fire.
I read a few reviews on here before my appointment to see what people had said about the pain and found most thought it was severe. It is true. I am feeling a lot of discomfort but i am hoping that it is worth it. I do look like a burn victim and that is no exaggeration. I have very light skin but now it is a deep red and brown. No, I will not be going anywhere in public for awhile.
I will write back in a day or so and tell you how things are going. I am saying this is worth it because i am hoping that it is. If I decide that it is not then i will tell you.

I had the laser done on friday and it is now monday. I thought that my face would never start to heal. Yesterday it looked so bad i thought that they may have messed up my face. It is now starting to peel off and is looking somewhat normal. Im not sure if i am willing to do another laser though. I don't know if it was really worth the pain and down time. I will let you know in a few days if my opinion has changed.

Hi Jessie, Thanks for writing your review. I was wondering how you are feeling now and if it is looking better. I too am from the Windsor area and am thinking of getting it done. Are you happy you did it? Thanks! Mary

Mary, before you go and be tortured please do your homework, i went to the wrong place, check with esteem medical, one is on dougall and the other on manning road. This is the best place in Windsor they will see if you are able to have this done. Best of luck.

Hi Jessie, Did you have swelling and how long did it take to go away if so? How is it all now that it has been several months? KC..

I just had mine done from Esteem and my face is a mess it is now day two and it is dark brown and very ugly but I had it done last year 4 times and it did wonders for my skin. They are wonderful at Esteem, I would highly recommend them. They went much more aggressive this time so I look awful. I hope it starts to look better soon.
