Congrats on the results. I had the same procedure done by the same doctor four years ago. Over the years the results I had continue to decrease since my procedure but overall I am still happy with the outcome and glad I did it. Maybe 25% improvement as of today? Basically the area I had lasered resulted in tighter skin by creating very small holes in my skin. If you look really closely (2-3 inches inches from the mirror) you will see small holes in the area I had lasered. It's nothing to be concerned about as it's not noticable by others although I probably would not repeat the procedure due to the concern the small holes getting larger.
Just curious if this was regular "V Beam" or the newer "V Beam Perfecta". I have done a couple with the Perfecta and never bruise but still get pretty good results.
I had a bunch of skin changes to go along new, tighter skin and therefore reduced acne scarring. These changes included laser tracks, small area of hypopigmentation, and redness. It was all minor in my mind and therefore I didn't stress much about it. These all went away with time. TNS Recovery Serum is great so I recommend you apply this once a day.
