Also, www.lovelyskin.com is a great place to get NIA24 products. They usually have discounts. Nia24 will often have 25% off specials. Plus, it's always free shipping.
I don't mind at all answering your questions. I felt just like you after the procedure. Worried I had ruined my skin for life. I did not get anything else done to my face. I don't remember how long it was til the redness and gridmarks went away. Maybe 6 months? But it did improve as the time went. I started using the niacin products at about 6 months and I think it really sped up the healing. I read really good things about niacin healing skin. I use the Mineral Suncreen and Intensive Recovery Complex. Also, I think the Nude Skincare oil cleanser helped. It seems an oil cleanser would cause breakouts but it didn't. And it is the most gentle cleanser out there that leaves your skin feeling clean. You can get a test sample at Sephora. The doctor wanted me to use Cetaphil cleanser with the Cetaphil cream which did cause breakouts and I never felt like my skin would get clean. They really pushed products with petroleum jelly in it and anything that had that cause breakouts for me. The Nia24 did not do that. Hopefully, this info will help. Oh yeah. My skin type is white with an olive tone. Oily and acne prone.
yes, the grid marks did go away. I used the NIA24 sunscreen and the night time moisturizer. I wash my face with Nude Oil Cleanser. My face started getting really dry after any cleanser for some reason and the oil cleanser is amazing.
The redness does go away. I started using NIA24 products and that helped. It seemed like it took forever for the redness to go though. Maybe 6 months. I don't really think the procedure was worth the money or the pain or the redness. My acne scars did not imporove much. My friends say it looks better but I don't really feel like it was worth it. I know how you feel.
My laser specialist is going to give me a free microdermabrasion and laser genesis to deal with the holes. I know how you feel. I am pretty annoyed to have these "pores" on my face. I hope the extra treatment helps.
