C02 Resurfacing and Prp Injections

the aloe helped me so much!! when i had a break out i put it on and it took them away almost immediately. its 100 percent aloe juice so its a antibacterial and anti inflammatory, its not that cheap gel stuff. I prefer the marcelle gel face wash over cetaphil! but people do love cetaphil. Im all healed now:)

Lol thanks, that was initial swelling too I think, because I kind of see my scars and pores coming back again. I mean I don't regret doing it, because it did help, but only about 50%. I thought it would be better because my scarring was so light, and its the most serious laser! I also think that maybe because I have new primer on under my makeup it is really helping for in person and in photographs ( its bar escentuals prime time one from Sephora with spf 30) I never used it until I got my laser done, so I think that is helping fill in too; it isn't just all from the laser. I was scared too and like on day 2 I freaked out a bit looking in the mirror. However by day 4 as you see it was basically just red and still swollen. I don't see how people claim they lose fat in their face because it doesn't go that deep--its impossible as one doctor put it. I think people are just so used to being swollen, and maybe even a slight swelling after, then it goes away and they think its losing fat--however maybe I'm wrong, and maybe the doctors are too. I also know that I'm young so I wasn't too worried losing facial fat because my cheek skin feels thick and full, maybe for thin skinnier face types, it would be more worrisome. I did get done by my eyes, I think that was the biggest improvement I saw, I had very teeny wrinkles starting under my eyes, and there gone now like when I was 24 ( am 27) so it took a couple years off for sure. However, the laser isn't for the faint of heart its really shitty after but meh its 4 days then its just a red face. I just laid in bed and watched Netflix and was over fast enough. If youre scared of c02 try doing 4-6 fraaxel dual instead.

Thanks for replying
I think i will repeat the dermabrasion then, because i had baby akin after that, no more scars no more pores
The doctor also put me on roacutane 10 mg/ day for 2-3 months so the skin heals well because i have a tendency for blackheads appearance
The open pores got back after a year and the blackheads too so now im thinking to repeat
I was also all red and swelled and my skin was red for like 2 months after the procedure and i was looking like a monster lol
After the dermabrasion i think i will do a couple of microneedling with prp
I saw some very nice reviews abt it
I think is better to take care of the skin while u are still young,im soon 28

Alexandr2202,
I do not know what to choose between Laser resurfacing and Microdermabrasion.I am a bit afraid of Lasers :-( Can u tell us about details of the dermabrasion procedure that worked for you?after 2 months did you completely get rid off redness?

yeah im also interested in learning about that does it have a specific name? I find it very hard to believe it goes at deep at c02!! But you never know. :)

i went and saw my doctor yesterday he said over the next 6 months my skin will get better and better, he said just after c02 you see some inital results but not the full results. He said by then if im not happy hell do it again for free im so happy! If you go on accutane, dont you have to wait 6 month's to a year after your course to get microderm? If you have big pores and black heads you should look into buying aha and bha gels you probabaly know about them, but they will fix pores and black head's with out you having to do accutane ( try paulas choice online she has the best, i reccomend the gel not the lotion), because youll have to wait forever to do the microderm after that, and also your face will be red again after accutane causes prolong redness for months. If its not tremendous acne you have theres so many other ways ! Even birth control like diane 35 is better for short time use than accutane!!

Hey
I had a dermabrasion 2 y ago plus blefaroplasty inferior and superior
I remember the first 2 days were hard , i got red and swollen
Then the next days i start to peel
By day 10 i completely peeled off
I used aloe vera gel 100% natural
The redness got away completely after 2 months
After the first month u could barely notice
I think is less agressive than the laser im thinking of doing it again because im afraid of co2
I recommend u to start with microdermabrasion see how u react
Co2 is for deep scars and wrinkles i dont know exactly for which problem u want to do it
Microdermabrasion starts from exterior layers of skin to the interior so depends on u how far u want to go,the laser pentetrates deep into the skin

The doctor called it 'fresa di diamanti' the device he used for the dermabrasion
Its like a round device that polishes :)

He put me on accutane after the dermabrasion
Yes indeed u have to wait if u take it before the laser/dermabrasion because ur skin is very sensible but i have already a year i stopped accutane so its no problem
I loved accutane because since i have oily skin and hair my skin was not dry while on accutane
Was normal
Also i could wash my hair only once a week and not once every 2 days :D
Small doses dont harm so much i was on 10 mg only
I tried creams with aha and only seems to make my skin worse i had a tremendous breakout while on aha
I m also willing to try radio-frequency combined with micro-needling i saw some great reviews
Today i had a cosmetic microdermabrasion and i liked it so much im thinking to buy a device for at home microdermabrasion :D

ohh okay yeah the lotion ones broke me out too only the gel worked. I have the at home micro needling .5 and 1m but i do think the doctors office would be better, i wanna try the prp micro needling one day too, i just had it injected in my face.

I submitted a review with pics :)

In a day i think will be available so u could see pics
Anything acid or that dries out my skin seems to make more harm than good so i think i ll stick to dermabrasion and ill
Do soon a microneedling prp or rf microneedling i m still thinking for which one to go

Heyyy i did a fractional laser pearl today
I ll make a post soon

oh okay sounds good ! I almost did that one but it doesn't get as deep as c02 apparently. I'll be interested to see how that goes for you!

So far i have no pain no burn
It only burned for like 1 h after
He also did the prp treatement right after the laser
Now im puffy , a few spots of blood and my face is red
Cant wait to see the next days

Ok keep us updated if u decide having microdermabrasion :)

I do get them filled maybe I should do a post on that too, as of now I don't know what filler he uses he told me once but it wasn't one I heard of so it didn't stick... not juvederm, it's a bit more thicker. Juvederm I hated haha it didn't last long or give near of good of a shape for me anyway and was more expensive.. i'll have to get back to you on that that one. I have been getting .5 of a syringe for a couple years now, however I top up before it dissolves, so I do think at any given time there's probabaly about 1ml in my lips. I had very wide and pretty full lips to begin with, they were kind of like Jessica beils the top was straight across, so he gave me a cupids bow. I think ill make a post about it in a month when I know the exact filler he uses he charges me about 150-200 for .5ml

You're skin and lips are beautiful!! I, too, am interested in your lip info..looking forward. Thank you!!!

OMG the swelling is insane i quite literally in shock!! And yes good luck to you too!!! It gets better every day :)
