Tomato Face

Fraxel Repair - Almost 60 and Now Not Happy in my Own Skin - Durham-Chapel Hill, NC

I had a groupon for IPL that I used. I had one treatment. I have brown areas on my skin now and the nasolabial folds and expression lines look more wrinkled after treatment. is that normal? Also, I had fat transfer to the under eye/cheek area, jawline...will those fat-transferred areas be affected by IPL? should I have further IPL treatments..my GROUPON covers 3 treatments. The reason I considered IPL in the fitsr place was that I had administered a 50% TCA peel at home and have hyper-pigmented area around cheek on left hand-side of my face; which is the area where I administered the peel first.
I thought the IPL might help with this but if it is going to have other iatrogenic effects,
maybe i should discontinue.. PLEASE ADVISE

Thank you for asking about my outcome. The hydroquinoine USP 4% helped the most with readness. I got some tightening from the procedure but not a significant face-lift type of change. I am concerned that it minimized the fat pads which were part of my structure of my face. All in all, I am slightly disappointed in the procedure but it did help to sensitize me to stay out of the sun or to apply a lot of sunscreen.

Has anyone had a lip lift that they are really happy about? who did it? what type? how much was it. what about the nose and scars underneath? please advise.

who was the doctor? did he or she say it would change over time..it doesn't look bad but it does look like you need to balance out the horizontal plane of your face. How does it look when you smile? good luck.

I am interested in who did your implants and photos of how they look. I am in North Carolina and prefer to have it done here but might travel if necessary.
