First off, I am a medical aesthetician, so I have a lot of experience with skin, after care and facial treatments. Dr. J. Strohmeyer was the most professional cosmetic surgeon I have had the immense pleasure to work with. I don't literally work with him, but when it comes to treating aging skin (that's a big job!), he is the best. He took the time to meet with me twice prior to my CO2 treatment and he was honest and upfront in every detail of my procedure. I am a week out and my skin looks 10 years younger. We did discuss face lift options, but I chose to get the laser done first, I was just not ready for the face lift... yet. But now, with my results, and complete confidence in Dr. Strohmyer, I will be back for additional procedures in the years to come. I especially appreciate the time he takes to listen to and consider all of my concerns and ideas. He is the BEST!! I have to tell you one thing though,, getting a laser treatment is not easy, but there is no better way to get the kind of results it gives you. Photos to come!! Updated on 8 Sep 2020: Here are before and after photos of my CO2 fractionated laser treatment,, hope this helps you all :-) I am sorry I don't have more close up shots of the improvement of my skin. Basically almost all of my sun damage spots were gone. Also it really tightened the skin around my eyes, something I didn't expect.
I had the first of three injections from a surgeon in Naples, FL I had gone to for 7 years. He NEVER mentioned the side effects of lumps. My mistake was trusting him and not doing ENOUGH research. 4 months later I still have small bumps around my temples and what looks like retained fluid under both eyes. PLEASE do not use this product.
