I'm looking worse after Sciton Halo than before!

February 11, 2016
Asked By:ilovemycats in Houston, TX

15 days ago I had the Sciton halo done on level 30/20. I had it done mostly for fine lines, but a little bit of pigmentation issues as well. I see no decrease in lines, but I notice something pretty scary. The area from the corner of lips going down toward the chin now look much more jowly than before I had the procedure. I had a lot of swelling and skin ablation requiring high doses of Prednisone after the procedure, so I am worried it stretched the skin out, and this is the result!?
