I'm sorry to hear that. In what way did your skin worsen?

I've decided to leave myself alone; take the $ I would have spent and donate to my charities (children/animals).

did you find that as you were healing from the laser, your skin tended to be a bit rough; kind of a mild sandpaper feel. My skin does not absorb moisturizer
as readily as before. thanks

Thanks for that. Sounds like you had a good experience. I'll look into the procedure you had. Tightening around the jawline sounds great to me.

It is a whole other topic, but I'm trying to adopt the attitudes of French and other European women who don't put themselves through all this to the extent that we do. I recently saw a picture of Jaqueline Bissett.
She is very lined, yet very beautiful.

It is good of you to pass this info. along, regarding fraxel and restalyne. Based on what you said, I wouldn't do it.

Is Fraxel the same as co2 laser resurfacing, do you know?

Thanks

Marge

Your experiences are so interesting to read about. Does anyone know the difference between alma accent, ultherapy and co2 fraxel repair. I recently had the latter done by a well-known dermatologist in NYC. Like ultherapy it takes about 3 months to see the final result.Meanwhile, I don't think I'll have the tightening around the jaw line and under the neck I was hoping for. With this procedure there is considerable redness on the face and neck which fades over time. I'm still feeling nervous. It was painful, despite the pain killers and nerve blocks (injections) was given. It was a much bigger deal than I was led to believe. Your comments/experiences would be greatly appreciated.
