I had been warned against laser and told it makes the skin more vulnerable. then I saw the reviews here. I want to hug that girl. I think Russian roulette as said by someone here describes the risks well. I use dermaneedling to get the results and its MUCH cheaper too. I found a website that tests different dermarollers for safety and effectiveness and did a ton of research too. the downside of dermaneedling is it needs cleaning (instrument) and preparation and buying lidocaine to prevent feeling pain. So it's not as fast as putting on a cream. But then I never really believed in creams. I don't trust the medical practitioners after these reviews. I'd prefer to do nothing than let a practitioner ruin my skin and then tell me I look fantastic. scary! I wonder if their peers/colleagues after reading these reviews will just ask a member to let them fix it or will they do the hard thing and challenge their peers.

It's been a bit over two weeks and I am healed (almost complete). The results seem to be promising so I will try The second one July 8th, but I will now know what to expect as far as healing. I will update aft round 2!

Before you proceed with any more lasers, please register and read the stories from thousands of others who have had lasers. I cannot post the link on here, but if you google IPL and laser damage support, you should be able to find it.

You're welcome. Maybe get started on some anti-inflammatory supplements such as curcumin as well as lots of vit. c and e, evening primrose oil (2x the recommendation). Use anti-inflammatory gels/creams like curcumin gel (psoria-gold), calendula, etc. It will go a long way to prevent deterioration. Things to do and take are all on that website I mentioned. If you ask the administrator, she can help you navigate to find what answers you may be looking for.

Thank you, I am going to check the site out. I am thinking of just leaving it as is.

I decided to call Affrims' Manufactuer. They were very helpful, more so than my plastic surgeon( I suppose he just didn't have the information). The company connected me to a wonderful nurse (they have great customer service). She asked me for pictures, and I also told her I had gotten affirm laser IPL. she assured me that the pigmentation will probably peel away in about 2 weeks! So I am much more at ease now. If indeed the spots do remediate I will continue the treatments. I just wish someone would have told me what to expect. I will keep you updated. ... I suppose being informed is our best defense.
