Attempt at Fixing Under Eye Mess – Colts Neck, NJ

Sorry for never doing the update!!!!
WORTH IT$800
So, after a month, my eyes did look significantly better!! Over all I was pleased with the procedure because it DID help the darkness under my eyes tremendously! The dots, are still there, but were diminished greatly.
I am scheduled, next week, to have the procedure done again. I'm hoping for even more of an improvement after this round. Even though it does hurt like hell for a few days, it was worth the money. My only regret is that I didn't have it done years ago! I would definitely recommend having it done if you have dark circles or other under eye issues.

4 days post procedure
By day 4, they started looking better. Swelling reduced greatly!
I've been cleansing the areas using a mixture of distilled water, a teaspoon of white vinegar, a little sea salt and few drops of lavender oil. I soak gauze pads in the mixture and apply them to the treated area. At first it burned/stung, but I got used to it and I think it helped the healing process.
After cleansing the area, I apply A&D ointment and a little Bach Flowers Rescue Cream. I do this 4x/day.

How are you doing now?
I have exactly the same condition under my eyes. I'm considering doing it. How are your undereyes looking now? Would you share some insights?
how are you doing now?
I hope you're doing well. Did you get the desired result? Would you do it again?
I'm sorry I never replied to you!!!! Yes, I would do it again and I AM doing it again in a week!
I should have added, at the time, the "concoction" I was using for cleansing, was NOT recommended for me to do by my Dr! It was something I had read online and opted to do myself. His recommendation was for me to just use the Aquaphor.

Pictures from 2 days after procedure. I had to sleep sitting up. If I lay flat down they swelled shut practically.

Just be patient and drink lots of water and keep the area clean and moist. I had this procedure done on my whole face for melasma and it was painful, but worth the results. I was about 10 days before I looked normal and could wear make up. You essentially look like a burn victim, but it does get better. I slept on several pillows for a week.
