Posted 9 Jul 2011

I have had this before around my eyes 3 year ago and love the improvement with skin texture/tone and some tightening. I just had the area around my mouth done 4 days ago with a combination of Active/Deep FX and am doing well.

Yes the the doctor used numbing cream as well as a injections to manage any discomfort and it worked wonderfully. Most of the swelling is already gone, i'm pink and skin is slowly flaking/peeling off. It is my understanding that collagen growth continues for 6 months post procedure so you won't realize the full result until that time.

It sounds like THE most important part of this procedure is choosing the right doctor! Someone with lots of experience who knows what he/she is doing! Anyway, very happy before, already happy anticipating improvement over the next 6 months.

sooo happy! already my skin appears smoother, with hardly any pigmentation. it slightly, and i mean slightly pink in the areas he went over twice where there were deeper wrinkles. I don't have any post ops but i will try to get them when i go back in.
I am looking forward to continuing improvement over the next few months.

where are you located? i am in San Francisco. i am still happy and am actually scheduling one for my hands - yes my hands.
LauraW. 11 Sep 2011
I am glad you are so happy. I am in So. Ca. I heard that total fx would be good for me because I am 48 starting to get crows feet and when I was younger had acne and now have scars from my teenage years. Wow your hands. You must love it.

laura,
i've seen good results from both fraxel and fraxel dual, and active fx/deep fx for crows feet/acne. Find a great doctor and get his recommendations for you.
best of luck
