Dark Marks After Syneron Triniti - South Africa, Johannesburg

  • Not Sure
  • Cost: $1,000
  • South Africa, ZA

5 days ago I had the 2nd treatment of a Syneron Triniti package, again I have bar marks on my face, 1 particularly painful. Is this the correct result? I have appointment in 3 days to discuss results with owner / doctor, she did not do the treatment , a technician did. These marks result in pale skin once healed which takes 10 weeks to look normal again. I asked the technician to be careful at the 2nd treatment to NOT leave these stripes on my face. I'm sure this is not a desirable result.

Great review?

I chose this provider as it is in my area and overseen by a doctor. The practice is relatively new so I trust their equipment is new.
