I guess so -- it happens instantly and it is white like frost on a window (hence the name i suppose)...minus the crystals. it doesn't happen evenly all over your face but it's kinda satisfying to see it and know you're getting a good peel :)
now that all the redness is finally gone: i'd say the sundamage is still there about 65%-- i was really hoping for more. the deep fx part around my eyes really did work-- the lines are gone and the color/texture is better. i plan on keeping the lines away with botox. bottom line: it isn't a miracle process but there is obvious improvement. my skin is much softer too and although you can still see the sundamage it is much lighter and all i have to put on is a tinted sunscreen and my skin looks flawless.
all the best!
hey!
might have missed it -- perhaps you already got this done?
hope all went well if so. in response to your question... nothing is going to look good on your face for awhile... when you do go out in public be religious about sunscreen or everything will come back. i used something called "solar" protection formula... it is an spf 60 with all the right protection.. it comes with tints that you can adjust to your skintone..... it is awesome stuff and i use it everyday!
good luck!
hi!
yes, i had both done... my doctor told me there was a risk of some persistent redness but if you are still worried i would schedule a follow up. its 2 months for me now and all the redness is gone. i do feel my skin has improved: not dramatic but about 50% better for sundamage.... all of the wrinkles around my eyes are gone and my skin tone is much better. my boyfriend says it took off about 5 years (he's brutally honest so i trust him!). hope that helps....it's hard to see the improvement when your face is still red.
