Hi mylink, I hope you didn't go. I would go by what your doctor said, wait 6 months to a year and if the discoloration doesn't go away, or you are not happy, go to another facility. That place sounds too shadey for me to go back there and trust them with my face again. But IF you did, I do hope it works out.

Hi mylink, How are you doing? Did you end up having to go back?

Besides what I posted on 2/3/09 I was told to stay inside and to avoid driving for the first 4 days. Even when I went back to work on the fifth day I made sure and stayed in the office, not evening eating out for lunch for that whole week (I went back to work on a Tuesday after all of my treatments). Of course if it was raining/extremely cloudy I would make an exception. I haven't had anything like you described happen to me. Maybe you should go to another facility to get another opinion. I hope that everything works out for you.

You should use the Aquaphor the first FULL 4 days and nights. After that, if you have to go back to work or go out use a good lotion with SPF 45. I use Neutrogena. You should use the Aquaphor for a FULL 6 nights. If you had your neck done, don't forget about it!

Hi Ellie, It was my third treatment, I am fully healed now also. A setting of 1000 was used on me, I thought they used 1100 on me last time but it was 1000 also and 900 the first time. I use SPF 35 also. I'm glad that everything came out fine for you. I am so pleased with my skin, it is so much clearer and brighter. I will probably do this once a year for a touch up. People have commented on how young I look and they think it is all in part to my new haircut but I know it is the new clarity of my skin. I feel more confident now. I highly recommend this treatment, it is well worth the cost and long weekends in the house. Just make sure you follow post treatment instructions.
