Appears that RF Sublative has damaged my skin and made my wrinkles and skin texture worse. What can I do?

March 3, 2015
Asked By:leebee12 in Burlington, On

I had 3 tx with the Syneron RF Sublative; 1/month in Dec to Feb. I am extremely concerned as the wrinkles around my eyes and over all skin texture is much worse after the treatments. Looks like my skin has been "damaged" by the laser. In the mornings, my eyes are puffy and swollen. Hard to see from the pictures the extent of how bad the it is, but the change has also been noticeable by others. What can I do to fix the damage? Do I need an aggressive tx such as erbium laser? Please help!
