How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 4
Adding some more pictures of the severe swelling (this is with icing!!)
The doctor called in some prednisone/steroids for me which I started taking on day 2
Day 2 was the worst!!
Day 3 rapidly improving :)
Hoping for great results!
What I've learned --- for best results people add PRP at the time of lasering (this wasn't offered to me)
SkinMedica has a product called TNS repair which helps to promote collagen and I am buying tomorrow
Right now skin feels very raw but is not really tender anymore, mild swelling which is worse in the morning. I have ZERO static or dynamic crows feet

So far extremely upset
The part I was most concerned about (metal eye shields) was really no big deal. You don't feel anything and they go in and out super fast! That's pretty much the only positive thing I can say right now. I don't feel the procedure was adequately explained to me because I was not expecting anything near what happened.
For starters, I was told that they scheduled my appt. for 60 min instead of 90 min. I told them I'd be happy to reschedule because I didn't want to be rushed. I was told no worries, they could handle it and wouldn't affect outcome. So numbing cream went on. The procedure itself wasn't bad but the machine sounded scary, I had to hold my OWN "cold air" because they were short staffed (OMG!), I couldn't see where to hold the air because I had the metal shields in... the laser hurt 5-8/10 depending on the area. Tattoo IMO is worse.
After the procedure I went into a mild shock, my body was shaking, I got very dizzy and almost passed out. They had to get smelling salts.
After the procedure, they swelling wasn't too bad and I was 1000% on point with aftercare. The pic with makeup is "before" the one on top is 7 hours after the procedure.
I woke up today and I look deformed. I was not anticipating this much swelling . I slept upright, have been icing and doing everything right.
I called my nurse and no answer. I called the med spa and am getting the run around. "We'll call you back." Well, it's been about an hour and a half with no response. I really feel like I need a prescription steroid and I hope I'm not permanently disfigured. I would cry but I physically cannot.

39 Years Old, Crepey and Lax Eyelid Skin
I'm getting a "Madonna eye lift" this Friday. I'm kind of anxious about the huge metal contacts that need to go in the eyes. I'm hoping to avoid a surgical belpheroplasty. If anyone has any recommendations for post-care I would love to know any tips!
