Had Total FX on 6/5/09 - Pensacola, Florida

I have been meaning to post an update. It has been four months and yes it was worth it. However, my melasma is back despite all my precautions. I have seen about a 30 percent scar reduction. I have to say I am disappointed overall, but it is better than having done nothing at all. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I really think the steroids helped a lot. Sorry you couldn't take them. I lived on Benadryl for the itching. It is amazing how sound you sleep after a couple of those tiny little pills. How are you doing now? Most of my redness and 90% of my swelling is gone. I am having a mild break out, but that's to be expected. My friends are amazed at the transformation, as is my husband. I do know that about day 4, I said I would never do that again or recommend the procedure to anyone. I am in a much better "place" now and would do it again. I can't believe how quickly one's perspective can change. Hang in there...it will be worth all the agony!
