“Worth It, 2 Years Later Review - United Kingdom”
Spent: $0 in uk
Posted 30 Nov 2011
I've had 2 times an active fx / deep fx treatment. After the first treatment there was a little but obvious improvement. After the second treatment, one year later, my skin really improved much, it looked baby new, especially in the first months, but after a few months the beautiful skin does gradually loose the new freshness. However there remains an improvement.
I think the result all depends on how strong the laser treatment is. My second one was stronger than my first one. My face looked a bit red for months, especially in warm environments ( like if you're going to the gym, go in a warm club or whatever) it really looked to red and unhealthy, for about 5 months !!!
HOWEVER: i really have a little pigmentation issue, already started after my first treatment, i always wear a sunblock. Both times i had fx in the winter time. To cover the pigmentation i do camouflage it a little, then everything is fine.
AND somehow i did got a few deeper (not so pretty) wrinkles than before, but my skin got definitely more tight and fresh, but because you'r skin is so fragile, new deep wrinkles can form .
But despite this all, it was worth it.
Because i want my review to be genuine, i decided to give no information about who my doctor is.

Helpful review?
Hi PTR,
Yes, other community members have mentioned the major need for sunscreen after having a laser treatment. What type of pigmentation issues did you have?
Thanks,
