i had mine the 12th of january and the grid marks are just as present as they were from the beginning. i also still have severe hyperpigmentation issues as well. they say it takes a full 12 weeks for 1 cycle of skin to slough off, but i was not prepared for this healing time. i have had similar procedures done in the past and have never experienced (aside from the grid marks, which i've had before) this delayed healing time. it took years and multiple chemical peels to rid myself of the grid marks from my first fractional treatment. for as many people who seem to be experiencing similar problems to ours, there is definitely no one telling you that you could be dealing with the side effects of this treatment for months or years. also, the fractional treatment did nothing for my initial issue which was acne scarring.
Awesome. I actually bought those exact products yesterday, they at least feel nice so far, although I don't think my checking account (and husband) would agree. We are quite the skin twins- my skin is the same type. I've tried Nude before... didn't think much of it for the price. And, my skin doesn't feel dry- it actually feels totally normal, which is why the lingering redness and marks are so alarming, as my skin seems quite healed. Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated. :)
