I Am Beyond Thrilled with my Results

WORTH IT
My husband and friends say that I look 10 years younger. When I look in the mirror, I now see the younger version of myself that I remember from what feels like a lifetime ago.
5 weeks ago Dr. Brackup gave me a fully ablative CO2 face peel. But don’t let the word ‘peel’, fool, you — I’ve had many a peel in my lifetime, but the results are far beyond anything I’ve experienced before, including several series of Fraxel and other fractionated laser peels, ExcelV Laser, V Beam and various chemical peels.
Dr Brackup was meticulous and did not miss even 1 mm of my face, including my eyelids and under eyes right up to the lashes. That painstaking thoroughness has given me an all over lift and tightening that truly appears equal to a facelift, but with the added benefits of sun damage removal and collagen remodeling that will continue for the next 3 to 4 months.
My sister is so impressed that she has already scheduled the same procedure with Dr. Brackup for next month!
A word about the office / nursing team — just like Dr. Brackup, the staff are friendly, supportive, considerate, respectful and compassionate. If you choose this organization for your procedure, you’ll be in great hands.
By the way, I live in the LA area, so I’m accustomed to world renowned providers. I flew out to have Dr. Brackup do this procedure, and I can happily report that I am very glad I did!
A before and after photo is below, the after photo is at 5 weeks post procedure. I had no skin makeup on in either photo. I’m still a little pink, which will subside in the coming weeks. For now, I wear anti-red beauty balm, which covers it completely.
