    I have to say that I am disappointed in the results or lack of results, I should say. I have taken pictures all along and really there appears to be no improvement. It has been 10 months now and I think by about 6 months all the lines above my lip had come back, in spite of my doctor's assurance that I would see improvement going forward from that point. Didn't happen. Not the doctor's fault, just didn't work for me. He's a pioneer in laser out of Boston. Good luck.

    Any news? Did the second treatment come out any differently? I also did one area in January (around my mouth) and I have to say that it had basically no result...bummer.

    Hi Rebex, I've been checking often. Any update now that you're passed the 2 month mark? How's your color and any change in wrinkle improvement? Thanks!!

    CC, I just had the peri-orbital (SP?) area done on the 14th of this month which is basically the area from the bottom of the nose to the chin, using the nasolabial folds as the line to feather out from. I believe my settings were 50mj for depth and 35% coverage (density, I believe). I've seen a level number mentioned before (like yours was 10), but I don't know what that relates to. Anyone know? I have not written a review yet since I don't know yet if I can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and the area is light pink at this point, dry, some slightly numb areas still (tho' better every day)and still a little tight feeling. Wrinkles are improved, better on the top lip area than on the bottom, but that might just mean the bottom ones were deeper. Still waiting for complete recovery, but almost there. I had a laser pioneer here in Boston so I feel I was in the best hands possible.
