Worth It

Spent: $1,749 in Saint Paul, MN

Its only been 4 days and I already am loving the results, scars are filling in and as of today the flaking has started. I cant wait for my 2nd treatment in a month!! I have to add that the pain was WAY more intense than I expected, but the whole procedure of having my full face and 1/2 neck done only took about 10 minutes so it is very worth the discomfort.

I should add I had the Pixel laser resurfacing done, I'd love to know the difference between Pixel and Fraxel lasers so if there are any Dr.s out there that read this please feel free to explain the differences. THANKS!!

I would like to know which laser treatment you had done? Iwould also like to know what type of acne scarring do you have? Thanks

I had the Pixel laser done 2 times so far. The scarring I had was on my cheeks mainly and the best way to describe it is bumpy looking, but also some discoloring as well. Its been 8 days since my second treatment and the discoloring has improved ALOT, also alot of the scars have totally disappeared leaving smooth skin YAY!! I will be having 2 more treatments done so I cant wait, in fact the hardest thing of all is the waiting period because Im so excited about the first two treatments I just cant wait to see the results from the next two.

hi tracy, is the pixel treatment the laser resufacing treatment? or are they different? does your face get red, and where did you get it done, ime here in l.a.

Yes the Pixel treatment is the laser resurfacing treatment, yes my face got very red for about 3 days before it eventually peels and shows new skin, its only really red for about one of those days and then it gets pink. I had it done here in St. Paul MN, but find a dermo that offers the pixel where you live and check into it, you wont be disappointed. Good Luck Surge.

Tracyk,How many treatments did you get done for the price? Where did you get it done? I also live in St. Paul. What if you are not happy with the results? Do they give you compensation?

Tracyk9935 (67 posts) 10 Feb 2009

Ive had 4 treatments and the price varied as per what areas i had done. I had my forehead and neck done along with my entire face ONCE and that cost 1749.00, the other times i only had my face done which was around 600.00. Dr. {listed above--displayed to registered RealSelf.com users} did my treatments, he is on this site so look him up he is awesome. He is in Eagan, and Im not sure about the compensation since i am extremely happy with my results. Talk to him about it though he is great. Let me know if you end up going to him and let me know how it goes! Good Luck!!
