WORTH IT$6,100
I have Posted a new photos taken yesterday 4.23.11 a little over two months after. Face is still really red but healing well. One Photo shows the date (in my hands) so there is further issue with photo and a crop of the same photo. The healing is real slow but the progress is amazing.

Thank you Lori. I started using a lightening mask this week and it seems to be working on the redness. It is improving every week just as predicted by the doctor.

To lootylou...oh no!! Please don't be discouraged. Most things in this world that can usually be fixed. Maybe a really outstanding facial PC a bit of time. I researched for months before I chose a Doctor. The healing is taking it's sweet time however. They warned me right from the beginning. Don't fret...please be OK.

I think you look great! Thank you for the updates on your new look. I think the Dr. did a great job and you look so much younger! Wow be grateful. Mine is healing on my Fraxel I am in the 3rd day but it is already showing improvement as I also had the fat transfer toI my face for plumping up my cheeks and other areas. I love what asenteing Dr. Kim did the best procedure in Atlanta and I cannot be more pleased! I am very picky and he did the best and every day I am happier over what he has done!

I am happy to hear about our good results. I I am over three months later and my skin is improving every week for the better. The redness is almost gone at this stage. I will be posting more pictures soon. It was well worth the wait and selection of a competent doctor. Good Luck and keep us all informed of your progress.

After Six weeks I am still rather red. I find that using moisterzers etc on face only makes the matter worse so I just out a little around my eyes twice a day. I found that Mario Badescu products are the only ones that help with the redness. http://www.mariobadescu.com/Rosacea-Treatment
The worse thing you could do is start using Retin A based products early on. Be Back Soon.....

WOW!! You look amazing!!! I would say it was worth it for you!!! Your eyes look so young!!! Do you know if they used deeper settings around the eyes!! Honestly - great result!!!!
April 12, 2011
Thank You. They used much higher settings around the eyes especially under the eye area where there were festoons. They are slowly diminishing. PS said that it would take a few months. Everything is right on schedule. I am using Arnica cream on my face twice a day and that seems to be helping tremendously.

Please keep us updated!!!! Thanks again for sharing your photos. I don't blame you - you look wonderful!!!!

Give it time you will see the horrible results of this procedure. We all eventually did.
April 20, 2011
What Kind of horrible results? It seems to be improving everyday. My wife had it done a few years ago and her skin looks just about flawless. Her results gave me the initiative to move forward with the surgery. Please advise as to the adverse effects that you encountered? It concerns me. Thanks

Oh gosh, please don't be scared. You do look great. Some of us have had negative experiences that we weren't informed about prior to selecting these treatments. Hopefully you went to a great doctor and this shouldn't be of any concern. But do keep a pic of yourself at least once a month for the year out, and you can update us. The more knowledge and information people have with both negative and positive experiences, the better it helps the next person making a decision on ipls or laser treatments.
But you do look great!
kudos!!!

cveroleyva So grateful for your post. I truly understand your thinking. I realize these treatments can go either way depending on the Doctor, patient, proceedure and post surgery recovery rate. I will keep posting a photo at least once a month. So far so good...

Wo wo I didn't say anything bad about your results Carlo look great to me. I'm just worried about everyones long term effects of this machine. I'm only 32 years old was always considered attractive and now I have jowls and my face droops down due to loss of muscle tone. None of this was visible at first that's all I meant. I think it was the other person suggesting you were promoting products or something. Hope you continue to look fabulous.

Day 6- just about all scaling is gone. I finally shaved with an electric razor. My face is still red and the swelling is subsiding. I still need to keep Aquaphor on my face until next Tuesday 2/22.
I haven't been outside of the house in six days. It's amazing how quickly all of this heals. My wife had a full face CO 2 treatment about six years ago. Her face and skin is still beautiful and I remember that her recovery was a lot more difficult and longer.
