• Posted to Results of Pixel: Hypo and Hyperpigmention, Skin Worse Than Before on 16 Nov 2008

  Oh wow I'm nervous. I'm going to the medspa in Stafford VA for pixel laser and I'm nervous. I'm going in for my first package of pixel/microderm abrasion. (3X pixel laser, 5 microderm). I'm 35. I'm a little nervous. I have (2) very minor pitted acne scars, but I notice them. I'm very fair skinned and my pores are huge - I have blackheads on my nose and it's just difficult to get them off. I have fine lines over my forehead. I feel silly throwing down that much money - what does it say about my vanity??? I'm going to do overall on my face (mainly look for removal of the acne pit scar on my cheek). I'm reading that it will be red and your face will be hot and that your face will look leathery on day 3 and NOT to pick it.. No matter what - don't pick it or it will scar. The consult said she did an aggressive peel that had the same effect and she picked at it and it scarred. I coudn't tell - but she was wearing a lot of make up. I just want to refine the texture of my skin - I haven't read anything about it restoring elasticity.
