You Make the Decision is It Better or the Same

Wow where do I start! I’m 46 in August this year I’m a mum of 3 and a gran to 2 boys. My skin was scarred by acne I no longer suffer with spots. I’ve had 2 treatments and having a 3rd in few months. I really am happy I have suffered for so long and would never have a close up without a filter. My pictures are an idea of going through the treatments I will answer questions as I found that this site helped me to make a decision. The pictures with the make up on are 6 days post 2nd treatment! I had a very Deep treatment and it is a bit painful but the results at the end are what helped me get through. My only advice is make sure you go to someone who understands your situation and knows what you are aiming for. Mine was purely the scars but it helped that it has also made my skin glow

The results look great. Congratulations! What kind of laser was it? Was this a Fraxel dual? Can you please give a few more details about the type of laser.

how many treatments did you have?

Hi all thanks for your comments. The treatments I have had are co2 fractional laser. I’ve had 2 treatments altogether and having a 3rd in 2 weeks. The treatments are very deep and so far has taken 5 days downtime each time. Hoping the next will take the same. It does look aggressive on them 5 days but you are then able to put make up on to hide the unevenness. I am very pleased with the results and hoping for the 3rd treatment to make another massive difference. I’ve always been paranoid with my skin and this treatment has worked for me to at least wear less make up and be less paranoid. I would definitely advise anyone to have a consultation to find out if this is the best treatment for them and make sure that you are able to go to a clinic where you know you will be looked after and have fantastic aftercare. I am very lucky as my clinic is practically 5 minutes drive away. I will try and help anyone with any question they may have so please don’t hesitate to message me. Hope this helps x

Can I ask what were your results after just one treatment
As I said before It’s made no difference at all but this is 8weeks post treatment 1

Hi my results after the 1st one were good. The picture where I have put 5 days post treatment were after the 1st one. My scars were deep but she has done all the treatments as deep laser. I’m sure the 3rd one will be very dramatic from the 1st. I think if you go in with the expectation that it will make a massive improvement on the 1st one you may be disappointed I went with the intentions that it will be what it is and I can put happy. I hope this helps xxx

2 week - Post 3rd CO2 fractional laser

claireatleedsJune 30, 2019

So I have now had my 3rd laser treatment it was as brutal as the 1st time however the pain was worst afterwards. It may be that my skin was so sensitive from the others. All of them have been 4 weeks apart. I am very happy with the results my skin feels more youthful and I feel so much more confident. I would never have ever done a fresh face selfie previous to this treatment. I will answer any questions If I can. Thanks

Nearly 5 months post CO2 laser

claireatleedsSeptember 2, 2019

I’m really happy with my results I feel as though the downtime has really helped. I have got a few remaining scars but nothing like I had previously. They are flatter and so much easier to hide. I’m going to have a course again next year and hopefully this will clear them all. Some photos attached of me now. Hope you see the improvement I have also recently come back from holiday and loved having to put no make up on (foundation I mean by this as I used to hate wearing make up on holiday)

Hi Claire!! beautful results !! im going for co2 laser too... after microneedling gave me more indents.
Your case makes me look forward to it.
What would you say the % of mprovement would be?? how less deeper are the scars than before? I see no scars at all in your pictures.

Hi Thankyou for your kind comments my scars were quite deep I would say it’s gone from 70% but now maybe 20% so a big improvement for me. They are also very flat now and very easy to cover. If you look at my before photos my skin is very uneven but now much even and liveable. I wouldn’t have walked out without a face full of make up and now I’m ok with my moisturiser thankfully. I have suffered al my life with scars, I’m 46 now and would definitely recommend this procedure. You should get better results as you are going for micro needle first. I’m going to let my skin rest and then go for some sessions next year hopefully this will be the final ones although maybe then once a year as it keeps the skin looking new and regenerates collagen. Hope this helps and let me know how yours go x SHOW LESS

What happened to the upper lip? Is that swelling from the laser? Did it go down?
