5 weeks after 1st treatment

FACEFUNK
$250
It's now been 5 weeks since I have had my 1st treatment. I'm not sure if my scares or pores have diminished yet but what I can say is that my skin texture and tone is so much better, I'm also having fewer outbreaks.

I have my second appointment next week. Will keep you posted.

Sorry dkl56, I've never used over the counter peels, I've actually never seen them in South Africa so don't know if they are even available here. I hope someone on the forum can help you.

Any updates? Are you still treating your skin with the dermaroller? Have you tried to single needle the scars?

Lol I should really review my reviews before posting - not a person who works with their man (lol) rough but a person who works with their hands.

I have a very similar skin history and appearance. I'm 30yr female turning 31 in a few months, and I finally want to do SOMETHING to help my scarring. I just purchased a microneedle from Ora and I should have it next week. I'm excited to finally be taking a step forward besides peels and microderm, which do sort of help the overall general texture and clarity but do nothing for the bigger picture. I too did not do lasers because of extensive and exhaustive research which pretty much scared the crap out of me. I do NOT want to be WORSE!!! I can't imagine dropping thousands of dollars on laser sessions only to have a bad outcome. So this is my course of action. Thank you so much for your thorough review. I will be posting one of my journey as well!

Thanks for the rely newskin14, I hope that you gets the results you deserve. Please keep me posted of your progress. And don't forget to get a numbing and after care cream - I don't think I could have done it without the numbing cream.

After going through your treatments do you feel you could have done the rolling yourself?

Hi Rlhill, thanks for your reply and I will be holding thumbs that your skin can be something you like again. I completely understand how hard it is looking at these crevasses on ones face and hating them and your face for letting you down. It's good that you have a sense of humor about it :-) I've only had one treatment and have another one scheduled for next Thursday, so far I would consider doing this at home but I would definitely have to have the numbing cream, and a few days off to recover. Please keep us informed on how you come along.

2nd and 3rd day after treatment

On the second day I had a fair amount of little whiteheads. The redness had reduced but was still visible. My skin felt tight and dry.

Today the 3rd day I had dubbed peeling day. I was told this would happen. The redness is very much reduced. My skin feels dry an rough to the touch - like a person who works with their mans rough.
