I had Total Deep Fx done in Nov. 2008. 3 months out from procedure I would say that overall improvement to my acne scars are maybe 20%. I was hoping for much more improvement, and feel disappointed so far. I doubt if in the next 3 months at the 6 months post-procedure point I will see much more than a 5% improvement. Very costly procedure for minimal results. Yes, I can have it repeated again, but not sure I will do that.
I had the Deep FX fractional done 2 days ago, and the past 2 days have been uncomfortable with a lot of swelling and very red, and no pain that an Advil won't cure. I also had my neck and chest done.I was made comfortable enough by the nurse that performed it, but there were a few passes that really hurt. She went really deep on some acne scarred areas, and I'm hoping those areas will be much improved. Got out of the house today in disguise, but it was worth it.
Wow, after reading EVERY email posted on this site, the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with Deep FX Fractional that I am scheduled to have done this Friday at 8:00 a.m., I don't know if I should cancel and lose the $ I have paid down on the procedure, or trust the process and the practitioner that this procedure will improve my overall acne scars and wrinkles. I am 49, fair, and in good shape, so my expectations are reasonable. I have had a couple facial procedures done, and I have now learned to expect the very worst for swelling, discomfort and healing time. I have been working hard to prepare myself for the worst this can be in terms of down time and misery, yet hoping I will be wrong this time. But in case I'm not, I am ready for FX Fractional bootcamp. I will come back and keep you all posted on my HONEST experience as I journey through the healing process over the next many months. Wish me luck.
