hello everyone, so its been over teo months since the procedure. Here are some things that have changed. I am not breaking out. Its weird, i usually do but since the procedure, my skin has been very clear. Also, fir some reason now, my skin is the oiliest its EVER been!!:( i hate it, idk why its happening. Another thing is my beauty marks seemed to have faded alot!!!! ???? it sucks:/. But besides that, everything is pretty much the same. Still see scars, still really red, still see lines and pores! Ugh so i made an appointment with a dermatologist on tuesday for botox. I bought 25 units. Ugh im so effing scared. Idk why cuz im sure the laser was 100x worse!!! But the thought of a needle in my face is terrifying:(:(. Soooo ya, ill let yous know how that procedure goes.

I am so sorry you were not happier with your treatment. My Dr. has suggested this treatment for me and I am thinking it does not sound so great from your point of view. I am wondering since a bit of time has passed if you feel different today?

I do see a small improvement in your photos but honestly you have normal skin. EVERYONE has some marks and flaws. If you had my skin you would be suicidal I'm afraid. I still get on here to remind myself not to put myself thru the BS, worry and financial loss of this [RS bleep] and accept what shitty skin I have. I hope you realize you beautiful you are.

Had similar experience. I hate that I did the co2 laser. Burned my face off and now my face is droopy.

hi yall just wanted to update this profile. I honestly havent really seen any changes at all. To be honest my scars seem worse:( my neck is still really red i think its ruined.... N as far as an even skin tone, it does seemto be a tiny bit better but nothing to drastic:(. Ugh im still waiting for maximum results but it just dont make sense to not really see a change at all. Idk, im still thinking about botox so i guess ill wait it out a little more and see if theres any changes:/

I honestly thought your face looks better. I can see the improvement. :) Where did you get it done?

i thought so too but i do believe it may have just been a little bit different lighting when i took the pic. Im gonna try & get the same lighting though and take more pics .

Follow the advice you have been given - wait 6 months. In the meantime, chill and focus on something other than your face. It will be good for your immune system and the healing response as well as for your marriage and your children. Put this in perspective. You do not have flesh-eating disease, you are not crippled for life and your husband has not left you. Your results look perfectly normal. You are young and your collagen production is likely to be excellent if you let go of the drama.

Great review! When are you going to Duran? I see a definite difference. Just like with the BBL or any other cosmetic procedure you have to give it time for the body to do what it does. Please continue to update throughout the six month period. I believe it would help so many others with making a decision about taking this journey. You really look better than before! Maybe if you want to pursue the issue (Personally think you are fine), then you can look at doing a second procedure. It kinda sounds like you want to try the microdermabrasion though...

hi thank you for the comment!!! I know youre right im kindve being impatient:) but as far as duran, im actually thinking cabral or Colombia now!! Cabral has been on point with his work and Colombia has been amazing too!!!!

Those are all good choices! Just find someone with similar shape and follow a few of the girls journey to see some consistency with that PS. Take your time and choose carefully. Good luck on your journey doll!

Not sure yet...

Ok yall so first off i wanted to address my last post was 16 days post op, not 14. So today is 17 days post op. One thing i noticed is that this is definitely a cosmetic procedure and youre gonna have your days where u think things look good and where you think things look bad:/. Today i put pic collages together for you guys and i actually THINK i see a difference in the befores and afters! Yous can be the judge on that. But minerals do wish my redness would go away! I hate that!!! I cant wear makeup at work ( i started a new job) so i feel really insecure:( but anyways im still wearing SPF 100 everyday and still using that lactic wash and toner! And now i just gotta play the waiting game. I asked Stephanie if she thinks i needed Botox or microdermabrasion but she swears that i wont as soon as the results start coming in. I aint gonna lie, that made me feel good. I really hope shes right. Ok so I'll update as soon as i have something else to report. Have a good day!

Ps... I feel like i see a difference in the pics!! I hope its not just me:) (happy)
