2 months post and absolutely no results. Skin took 2 weeks to heal was told high settings. Have very deep lines around the mouth, fine lines around the eyes. Sadly myself and others that are following my journey are not seeing anything happen yet. I would like to repeat procedure because I want improvement> Dr says it takes time and agrees another treatment could done "soon". When can this be done safely? Winter is a much better time for me to do this. Please give me your Professional opinions.
