Happy to Have Found Such a Great Office - Newport Beach, CA

MaLG - Sorry so long in response. I wasn't certain on the answer and needed to confirm with the office so it was just the 1550 laser that was used. Since you have mentioned the dual, I have done more researching and it sounds appealing to me based on some results. I might want to consider:)

Hi Britt,

The down time was a full week with only some light pinkness to follow that for another week/two but very minimal in that its easily hidden with makeup. I got it done on a Monday and it was back to normal texture with the peeling done on the 8th day, the following Monday. Because it is dry and peely during that week, I didn't put makeup on until my 6th day and only because I had to. I would have prefered holding off another 2 days. They did warn it could cause acne in that time (and I thought I may get away without it since I don't normally breakout) but I surely had acne. No doubt about it, hence why it also added to wanting the face free of makeup until it got back to norm. All in all, the week down time is expected and worth it. I do like my results and notice the texture of my skin to look smooth n supple. I do feel it is more recognizable even as the weeks have went on since it is meant to generate and boost new collagen. I am happy with it and would probably do another to increase the results as the building of them only improves the outcome. My main reason for doing it was for my under eye lines so in that regard, it didn't take them away fully but they've diminished some and could use a few treatments to be gone.

When they did your upper lids, they actually did the lid over the eyeball? and not just the upper eye area? Just curious bc I had the upper eye area done (below the brow but above the lid) and didn't know we could do over the eyeball. Look forward to seeing your results:)

Did you end up doing the Co2 laser for just the eye area? And what do you think of the results...have lines been erased?
