The Best Thing I Ever Did for my Face

WORTH IT
First off, I am a medical aesthetician, so I have a lot of experience with skin, after care and facial treatments. Dr. J. Strohmeyer was the most professional cosmetic surgeon I have had the immense pleasure to work with. I don't literally work with him, but when it comes to treating aging skin (that's a big job!), he is the best. He took the time to meet with me twice prior to my CO2 treatment and he was honest and upfront in every detail of my procedure. I am a week out and my skin looks 10 years younger. We did discuss face lift options, but I chose to get the laser done first, I was just not ready for the face lift... yet. But now, with my results, and complete confidence in Dr. Strohmyer, I will be back for additional procedures in the years to come. I especially appreciate the time he takes to listen to and consider all of my concerns and ideas. He is the BEST!! I have to tell you one thing though,, getting a laser treatment is not easy, but there is no better way to get the kind of results it gives you. Photos to come!!

What kind of “results” does it give you?

It tightened everything up. Even lifted my nose a bit. Eyes don’t have that hood more of a define jawline clear complexion and smaller pores. It is a hard procedure. But the doctor does give you meds to help with the face burning. Each day gets a little easier

I did post pictures,, having a hard time finding them. But basically it removes most of dark spots and hyperpigmentation from sun damage. Also really tightened the skin around my eyes. Looked like I got an eye lift!!

I’m so happy your love your results! You stated it wasn’t easy, was that the procedure or the recovery, or both? Thank you.

Both were not easy. I am not easily sedated, so I felt a lot of the laser. I would chose to be sedated more, if I did it again. The recovery is fast but not comfortable. No pain, just keeping you face from touching anything or going out for about 8-10 days is not easy, but it is doable!!

Here are before and after photos of my CO2 fractionated laser treatment,, hope this helps you all :-) I am sorry I don't have more close up shots of the improvement of my skin. Basically almost all of my sun damage spots were gone. Also it really tightened the skin around my eyes, something I didn't expect.

Did you had pain after the procedure?.

You look great. You appear to not have had a lot of perioral lines around your mouth, before or after. Is that true? I need help with that and don't know if CO2 works for that. Thanks.
