Worse frown and brow lines after pixel: Is this normal?

February 22, 2014
Asked By:jet619 in Dallas, TX

I had the Harmony Pixel Laser treatment 10 days ago for acne scars and wrinkles around my mouth, brow lines, and lip lines. The person who performed the laser said I had a high tolerance for pain and did many passes. She called it "The Madonna". I was red, swollen for a few days, turned brown and finally peeled. Now it looks like I have deeper wrinkles than before. Will the wrinkles decrease over time? Should I even do more pixels? I look older than I did before the treatment. Any advice?
