  Hi MoMo, I'm now 5 weeks out and along with you the reduction of the brown spots are great. I'm still told that the results will come and to give it time. I have very deep marionette lines and because the skin tone is now looking good those lines look worse, even though they aren't. So I had Dr. inject Line Filler there and that was a dramatic difference in my appearance. I'm finally looking much younger because of that.
  I do see that I don't have that crepy skin below my eyes and the fine lines are diminished all over my face because of the laser, shich give me hope.
  Dr. wants to do the laser again in the fall/winter around my mouth (marionette lines) to make a more permanent fix rather than the line fillers which are temporary. He said that the next time will be ever deeper, 100% of the surface around that area. He will have to use a something different to help with the pain.
  
  My friends say they see a huge difference in my appearance but I think it's because of the line filler. The few that saw me before the line filler still loved the new appearance of the skin tone and know that things will get better over time, having other friends that have had this procedure too.
  To me it's like watching paint dry.
  
  Let's still keep in touch.

  Aunt MoMo, How are you doing. I had my very deep and mirco laser done last week and I'm still puffy and pink. I don't see allot of difference at this point and I was wondering if you saw much difference at the 1 week mark. Dr told me to wait that it takes time to see a difference. I'm thinking maybe filler injections is the only way to get rid of these deep lines around my mouth. As far as tightening, I'm wondering if a face lift was the better option for me. I know it's still early in my healing, and laser is not an "instant gratification" option. So how do you feel about your "work" you are about 2 weeks ahead of me as far as the healing goes.
  Hope all is well...

  thank you for being so courageous and posting what's oning on with you dat to day. I am scheduled for a lazer resurfacing on tuesday. I'm a little scared and a lot anxious. I am in my 60's and hope to get a tightening of the skin and reduction of the brown spots from years of sun and aging. I'll be checking back with you on a daily basis. So keep the posts going.
  thanks
