WORTH IT$299
The BEST decision I've made as far as skin is concerned. The results exceeded my expectations and I would do it again in a heartbeat if asked. I've never been someone with great skin. Spent my teens in tanning beds and my 20's burning in the sun, just to mask my super pale skin. After having sun and staying out of the sun for 6 years, I hit my 30's and BAM!!- blotchy brown sun spots started appearing, my pores were so enlarged and the occasional blemish turned into adult acne that began leaving scars. I would spray tan weekly just to mask my awful complexion. I tried photofacials, microdermabrasion's, micro-needling, etc.. you name it, I had tried it! I finally decided to take a more intense approach and do the Smartxide DOT laser. I had wanted to do it for a few years, but the price was just way out of my range. When I came across Skin Spa Med on Groupon, I saw the $299 special and bought it immediately. I scheduled the procedure 2 weeks later because the weather has been cold, which is perfect for this recovery.
The first few days were uncomfortable, but tolerable. I slept on the couch in an upright position for the first 2 nights. I would wake up in the middle of the night with dry skin and would lather my face in the calming serum. Day 3 & 4 are SO ITCHY!!!! It literally feels like your skin is crawling. Resist the urge to itch and KEEP IT THICK IN CALMING SERUM AND AQUAFOR!! By day 5, the results were dramatic and have continued to improve daily. This laser knocked years off my face! I cannot get over how soft my new skin is.

Wow, that's terrific, thank you for sharing your experience and your pics!

You mentioned that you had tried other treatments. What was it about this particular procedure that appealed to you (besides the Groupon :) )
