Not Worth It
Spent: $1,250 in Tulsa

I had some minor wrinkles above my lip and had mixto laser and restilyne injections. I'm 5 days past the treatment and I still have wrinkles that did not go away. The texture is still rough and I'm still peeling a little and redness. I expected better results than this. Should I get more filler and another laser treatment?

Do not get another laser treatment, you can see the results 100% after 6 months, because of the colagen that regenarates. It´s only 5 days so it´s very little time to see any difference.

It's too early to make a judgement. In my experience, the improvement seen a week after your treatment represents only about 20% of the eventual improvement you will see once the collagen production the laser will stimulate has occurred (2-3 months). I would suggest you be patient, do not seek further treatment yet, protect your skin from the sun, and wait for your collagen synthesis to ramp up. I'm sure you'll be happier in a month or two once this occurs.

You have not given it near enough time. If they are indeed "minor" wrinkles, it will take atleast 6 months for the collagen to fill in the areas. Mixto is a great procedure with great results. There are always going to be those that will never be satisfied. No matter of the results, even if they are good results, they will never see them.
