Michelle Putnam, MD

I wish this photo did justice to how great the results have been. I've healed quickly, much quicker than I thought I would have based on others I've seen on Real Self. I think it could be the growth factor serum Dr. Putnam had me use right after the procedure. I have also become somewhat of a huge fan of Aquafor & have continued using it at night as a night time moisturizer. It makes my face feel baby skin soft when I wake up in the morning & not dehydrated like it used to. I have finished with the growth factor serum, and am now just using Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, a moisturizer and sunscreen daily & at night (minus the sunscreen & with some Aquafor). At 4 weeks out I still have some small patches where I'm waiting for the skin to fully flake off & the new skin to appear. There was a moment when I was afraid it was hyper pigmentation in some areas, but over time I've watched it turn into new baby skin so now I'm not worried & just excited. I have noticed considerably more tightness on my eye lids, but am thinking about doing one more treatment to tighten it a little more to avoid having a blepharoplasty down the line. Overall I'm thrilled & will continue posting since I'm told the results will only get better & better over time when the collagen production increases!
