Picture of progression

So these are pics that really show how it progressed.
1) is a few months before photo facial.
2) is a week after. I started noticing holes and lines and the red wouldn’t go away.
3) is 6 months after. This is when I really got scared. Skin seemed to get worse every day.
4) is today after multiple treatments. I waited a year before I tried facelift, prp, Nano fat graft, and 9 days ago I did embrace rf so I’m still swollen and the dr said collagen will grow so hopefully it works.

Is there any updates? How are you feeling now?

I’m feeling better, thank you for asking. I think the Morpheus 8 improved my texture. My forehead and temples look way better, they look like they did pre ipl. I think I see a slight improvement on my cheeks but the dr said I’ll need three treatments. I was worried at first because I’ve read reviews about fat loss from rf needling but luckily I haven’t had any so far. I’ll be doing another treatment in about a month. I’m happy with any kind of improvement after two years of seeing myself get worse and worse.

Hi, I had my second Morpheus a few months ago and it seems like my texture is slightly improving. I paid for a series of three so I'll be doing my third one when I find the time to be off work. My skin does feel much tighter. My dr also does prp injections under the skin afterwards and I think that helps a lot. After getting so burned by the ipl treatment that ruined me, I was so scared to try anything involving heat but I had to try because I can't live thinking it won't get better.

Yes, my whole face. I haven't noticed any fat loss. I'm sorry this happened to you too. Have you tried anything to help with your texture?

I tried PRP with no reasonable results. I also got Profhilo, it's an european HA Acid that helps with texture. The effect was amazing but it doesn't last long. Good to hear you don't have volume loss!

Hi monnica! How are you today? Please keep me updated on your progress and if the Morpheus results are long living?

Hi, I'm doing good. I notice my skin improving over time. I believe it's from the Morpheus. I'm finally doing my third one on the 18th of this month. My skin is still a mess but much better. I like Morpheus so far... the first Morpheus I did was combined with FaceTite and the next one was just Morpheus. I think it's long living. My skin hasn't gone back like it was at all.

A week after photo facial
monnicaFebruary 28, 2019
I called Ellie,, the lady who did the photo facial about a week after and telling her my face was still red smith a hot sensation underneath my skin. And told her I noticed that every little mark I had on my face is looking like it’s sinking in and I’ve started to get lines on my face. She told me to email her pics. These are the pics I sent to her and she tells me “ girl, your going to have great results” welp, it only got worse. Everyday I noticed a change in my skin. But these pics are from the start of the damage. I tried to get help from the beginning but none was given to me. Not sure if anything would’ve helped but they could’ve at least tried.

Before and after pics
monnicaFebruary 27, 2019
So I contacted the medi spa I’ve been going to before and a couple times after I had the photo facial and they emailed me all my pics. I only have a few from about three months and 6 months after I was damaged. I used to go for filler and botox. I only went twice after I was damaged to see if they could fix it with filler but didn’t help just made it worse. The ones on the left are from before the photo facial damage and the ones on left are from three to six months after. These pictures are all from there camera but poor pictures I know but you can clearly see the drastic change. I never had great skin but it was livable now it’s unbearable.

Same happened to me, had IPL 12 years ago and it’s ruined my face, I have marks, lines joining my pores, dents and now loads of noticeable red marks and veins where machine left marks, wish I had just left it alone ! So much worse, instead of just clear red with no marks it’s now all patchy with loads of red veins!

I’m sorry this happened to you too. Have you found anything that helps? I just did the Morpheus 8 about five weeks ago and I think it’s working a little bit but I have to do it again at eight weeks.
Sending you healing vibes, Eve
