I Look Ten Years Older Too, After Pixel - Daphne, AL

Not a day goes by I don't regret this "treatment". My skin has improved, but I'm left aged. I lost my youthful fat and youthful appearance. Based on my experience and the experience of two others, I can not recommend Pixel laser "treatments" or Haley Dermatology Med-spa.

What was the name of the laser? I had clear lift. Started in October and had 7 for add volume and smooth wrinkles. My face has almost melted. I have severe wrinkling, crepe skin and lost all the fat in my cheeks. I also had just gotten filler in my lips which lasts me over a year. Its was gone in 2 months and my tech said I must have just metabolized it. NO it was the laser. I just realized all this today after sending in a photo to them and they agree it looks worse so come for a consult. Now I am doing research and just sick! I was told there were NO downsides or side effects except for a little puffy the day after. No THIS COULD HAPPEN anywhere! I am afraid in a few months or a year how much it will get worse. I dont know how long this laser keeps doing its damage.

Mine has been two years and I have just realised how old I was looking, so IV been looking on Google to see the side effects on Lazer treatments and the answer was clear, fat loss under the skin ( you can't find that answer that easy , it took me a while )

Not a Day Goes by....

Not a day goes by that I don't mourn the damage that they caused to my face. I know one person and met another who've been damaged in the same way by Haley Dermatology. The MD is indignent and unapologetic.

Thank you for posting your experience and updating it for so long. I was looking into getting this done myself, and I now think I should explore alternatives.

I had this done a week ago and my skin looks absolutely dreadful. I am so scared and have not experienced said peeling, only irritation, bumps, and tons of blotchiness. Has anyone found any resolution from this?

Baby your skin. Use very mild cleansers, like Vanicream cleanser. Perhaps use an anti-inflammatory like curcumin gel, like Psoria Gold, on your face. Inflammation is very damaging to the skin and that's what they've caused.

9 months

9 months out from the first Pixel "treatment". My skin still is covered with tiny Pixel holes. There has been some improvement, but my skin is still more aged and damaged. The crepeiness, textural changes, and depressions have not resolved.

Several years ago before I hit menopause I had 1 treatment and it really helped. 1 month after my treatment I looked much better. It's now 2.5 years later and I've just had another one and three weeks later my face is a mess. Increased acne, many oily bumps, blotchiness, enlarged pores, nasty texture, wrinkles much worse. I look ill. I'm 53, single and terribly depressed. I don't want to go out, I don't want to be seen, I can't believe how badly this has turned out.

Is this the radio frequency?

They used radio frequency and Pixel laser. I see damage, including volume loss, from both.

Maddie - what treatment did you have - Pixel or RF or both?
empusa
March 19, 2015
Both; it was the laser 360 package. I've lost volume, especially over the bony prominences of my cheeks and chin. Also, under my eyes; only where she used the laser. The pixel holes under my eyes are smaller now, but still there. They looked like enlarged pores, after the "treatment"; who has enlarged pores, under their eyes... coincidentally, only where she used the laser and lined up in rows.
